I relate to this. It expresses the true me. On the outside, I look like — well, not literally, I’m being poetic — I look like a modest Canadian one bedroom, two bathroom condo:
But on the inside? On the inside I am glorious:
The staircase art tells of the dual nature of my personality. I am very complex.
And this one represents that sometimes I get sleepy, but I need a bath, and I want to roast marshmallows, and it’s easiest if I can do it all in the same room:
Careful with the skewers, there, buddy.

ahhhh…wow. Even the fireplace’s are horrified
Yes, somebody should submit this house to Faces in Places.
Anyone else unable to take their eyes off the screaming fireplaces? Although the one by the bath looks slightly ill.
Yes, that is exactly what I was going to comment about. Poor thing, it has clearly seen some unsightly bathers
Yes, but it can be thankful that should it loose it’s lunch, it will be conveniently over a basin and drain.
Holy shit!! Wow! But those white cabinet doors have to go. They just mess up the whole ambiance.
they rather look like eyes.
I agree, they could have done a nice rich mahogany or ebony look instead. and a different trim instead of the ovals.
other wise a nice elegant place.
I thought padded rooms were only in certain other places….
not when they are leather for the covering for the padding.
that alone says – money, lots of money
I’m rather surprised our lovely hostess didn’t point out the faces in the first place. Then again, maybe you wanted to let us discover those for ourselves?
Gauche Casino® decor shown. Hardened animal carcasses sold separately. Fireplace inserts by Morti-Fire, Inc. Some assembly required. Offer not valid in Utah.
Morti-Fire! HA!
I love that they’re trying to sell it as the condo that the John Gotti of Calgary would own (probably for his mistress) because that’s EXACTLY what I thought when I saw those pictures, but figured they would never own up to in real estate listing. Canada is awesome.
I love the description: “If the Last Mafia Icon, Jon Gotti were to have ever lived in Calgary, this would definitely, without a doubt be one of his residences.”
its a one bedroom home. and has one bed. and i think, if i am counting correctly, 15 pillows on the bed. does one person need 15 pillows? maybe this is a home for 15 pillows. it would make more sense, i mean i think those pillows match the decor of the home more than any one human could. of course, i might just not have the imagination necessary to picture the human who lives here.
Most of those pillows are shams. And shams are useless. I never understood their popularity.
Agreed; shams are shams.
are you sure that only one person lives there. if it is a one bedroom place? maybe it is a couple living there.
as for the number of pillows. I could say something. but that would be TMI in bedroom fun…..
Yeah, but I’m sure you could find information about what might happen on sites such as xtube should you so wish
I counted 17 : ) , their motto must be “Everything to excess – squared”.
“Welcome to Saint Sebastian’s Home for Wayward Pillows. Please note that the pillows grew up without proper parenting, and do not have personal boundaries. Do not be shocked by their demonstrative affection for one another. We have enough trouble trying to keep the fireplaces from overreacting.”
I love this thing…I mean, I don’t want to LIVE there, but I’m always happy to walk into somebody’s safe little suburban home and find out that they went absofrickin’ bonkers on the decorating front. As long as I don’t have to live there.
I’d like to live there – I mean, not in that particular “there,” but in a place where they “went bonkers on the decorating front.”
Conformity is easier, cheaper and less vulgar, but it also isn’t very interesting. It’s wonderful when people are willing to put in the effort and creativity to do something special, even when it attracts negative attention from the sort of people who like to consider themselves superior to others. Its modest exterior doesn’t even disturb the neighborhood! What’s not to like?
Ah, the Calgary nouveau riche… As my mother used to say, some people’s taste is all in their mouth…
I kind of really love that bed. In fact, the whole concept of that bedroom is awesome.
Ah, we finally know where Rush Limbaugh moved!

Well, Rush DID promise to leave the country if health care reform passed! WIN!
I love the fact it is near a river.
FISHIN’ TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rainbow and brown trout are abundant in the Bow River.
too bad I do not have the cash.
my man loves trout fishing. he even makes his own fly lures….
is that the only types there? or is there other types?
panfrying type fish I go for. no catfish, be it regular type or bullheads?
Rocky Mountain Whitefish, too, apparently, sez the voice over my shoulder. The Bow River is famous for trout though, lots of people fly fish there. And catfish…blech! They taste like dirt to me!
A bit on the gaudy and tacky side? Yes. Creepy dead animals? Yes. Tenso faces? Yes.
But, I am soooo grooving on the idea of a fire place by the bath tub. That would add enormously to bubble bath bliss.
And, like Sara, I am tickled pink by the idea of a bland exterior hiding a wacked out interior. I just don’t like that particular interior.
No wonder Calgary is so bloody expensive these days.
To me that cougar looks as if it is trying to work out whether it can make that leap to its prey.
This person probably doesn’t have grandchildren. My 10-year old son would be trying to go for a cougar ride first chance he could get. (Does the new homebuyer get the cougar??? Why else would it be in the photo???)
I knew this place was wierd the second you said “one bedroom, two bathroom”.
Proving, once again, that money cannot buy good taste. Makes me sorta sad actually…
Um, I hate to admit this, but I like it, except for the open bedroom-bathroom combination. I’d really like to have the income required to purchase and maintain this “little” place!
I like some aspects of it. Love the sky-ceilings. Not so fond of the cabinets and some of the furniture. Not a fan of the taxidermy. Love the idea of a fireplace by the bathtub, though honestly I probably wouldn’t get around to using it much.
This place is in my ‘hood, and what they don’t tell you is that the back half of the townhouse is attached to the parking garage for an apartment building…so it’s like half a house. On the other side of that parking ramp is a dumpster for a convenience store.
Though if you’re going to advertise the house as mafia-esque, I suppose a convenient dumpster is not a bad thing.
I grew up about 2km away from this. Who knew what wonders were hiding in the townhouses I bussed past each morning!
LMAO Oh gawd my mother used to live in number 14, two down from this place. We always wondered wtf was going on inside. It had been under reno’s for years. I am seriously laughing so hard at this.
And A neighbour is right, it is only a half house next to a dumpster. We did always joked that he was mafia, I guess now we know, eh?lol
Is it just me or are there a disproportionate amount of Calgarians on this site?
We heard he’s dead – it’s an estate sale, I guess? And yes, we’d heard those rumours about him, too.
Why do the fireplaces look so surprised/horrified/scarred for life?
Man, that’s some TASTELESS decor!! Yich!
