So arthritis is the cause, ouch. But at least it's a condition that can be alleviated with the right medication - I'm not sure that the same is true of David's interior design taste!

Hopefully, he know's where he's going, now that he sure knows where he's been ...

Arthritic or not, at least he's working on some new material with Jimmy Page.

Yeah, that album was hugely underrated and fell through all the cracks at the time.

Just as long as he sticks to his lovely natural baritone and doesn't go all Plantsy ..

Other than the Greek columns, the house itself looks pretty spectacular. However, the animal-print furniture and mirror walls need to go.

Frankly, great parts of it look like an upmarket brothel to me. It's like something a former President and now Florida pensioner would do.

The exterior of the house and the location are of course lovely.

  ROFL!  Thank you

For no reason other than namedropping - here's what I did on Nov. 10, 2008:



BTW, that was just 10 days after this happy occasion:

OMG, it's out, Ilan is slap-happy.

And mingles with people with dubious interior design tastes.

What's next? An obsession with Teutonic bass design?

Agreed, but it seems to be more about the furnishings than the architecture itself. You made me look twice for more of the Mar-a-Lago influence, but it's not really there.

For somber European eyes, it's Mar-a-Lago/Trump Tower enough, let me tell ya! American Baroque. But then Brit interior design can easily be overdone too - let's not forget how little David might not always know where he's going, but sure knows where he's been:



But he's been a US citizen for a while now, so you're stuck with him! 

I have no issues with the building, that is even a bit Frank Lloyd Wright'ish, that type of North American architecture I like, but it needs the right setting. It would look silly in Europe. We don't have the room. For Lake Tahoe it's great.

[BTL]

Understood, and American Baroque would be a great band name.

True, I also go for Baroque.

Someone had to do it. 

[uwe]

American Baroque, an art form, no less!

[Pilgrim]

Interpretive Euro-baroque...

Yup, Austrians have this unfortunate hang for overdoing things ...
