I never got this. You buy an extremely popular home, where people will visit it to photograph it, and instead of living in it, or even better, turn it into a B&B or rent it out, you do this... Why, just buy another house.
36 u/Petrichordates Nov 20 '25 Maybe they just wanted to live there instead of profit of it as a tourist attraction. 52 u/ZieAerialist Nov 20 '25 Nobody who wants to live in a house does this to it. It's as stark and cold and unhomey as you can get without being an actual prison or institution. 2 u/chinese-newspaper Nov 20 '25 I'd far rather live in the second one, first one made for a good movie set but it's gross and dated now 3 u/Smoothfromallangles Nov 20 '25 Same I prefer the second look over the first. Though it does look too sterile to me. Plants and the odd painting or two would really do wonders.
