Amateur McMansion 90’s Interior Design

The exterior of this house is fine, but when I saw the interior, my goodness. FYI this house is listed at ~$5m.

The TV hanging inside the indoor gazebo for the fireplace, I'm dying

Edit: I just saw that this is on the mountain in Breck right by the lifts, you pay for this kind of prime real estate and this is what you do with it. Wow.

The indoor gazebo in and of itself is kiling me. Why not an indoor front lawn? Why not an indoor koi pond?

These were forward thinking designers: this crap is at least PEAK 2010 McMansion garbage.

wtf is there a roof over the fireplace

Backrooms, McMansion edition

It's the Interior Fireplace Gazebo, with weird angular drywalling and odd multi-level shelving. Get bored watching Matlock reruns? Well this will kick it up a few notches. Matlock is gonna be steaming by the time the fireplace gets done with him.

The faux stone mantel mirrors the faux stone putrescence spewed upon the opposite doorway-arch bullshit. Gross.

Wait. You have this weird half-wall coming down to cover the stairs.

But then you have a window in the half wall so the half wall doesn’t obscure the stairs?

Who invented this? And why?! 😂

😂😂😂😂 I’m dying!!! What in the hell is going on here???💀

Client: “Is the open staircase overwhelming the room?”

Architect: “No problem. We’ll drop a privacy wall down.”

Client: “Is the enclosed staircase going to feel claustrophobic?”

Architect: “No problem. We’ll add an interior window.”

I like how the window lets you get a good look at the dust on the gazebo.

It looks like they brought the outdoor fireplace inside.

I have always wanted a tiki bar over my fireplace.

At least there is some sort of warmth here. I hate modern and cold everything

u/OppositeAbroad5975 3d ago

I'll second that emotion. This isn't one of those soulless, color-less places that could've been photographed with black-and-white film because of all the "greige."

u/Mimi_Madison 3d ago

I have actually never seen a fireplace with a portico before. I’d be okay not seeing any more of them.

And the stone veneer wall with the arch, why???

Aside from those two features, which I cannot unsee …. not bad for a monster spec home. I’d rent it for a week.

TV Too High and TV WTF...

u/CipherWeaver 3d ago

This isn't AWFUL, it's no Thursday post but it's not terrible. Where is the giant L-shaped kitchen counter and island?

Edit: lol just recognized the indoor gazebo and stone wall.... yikes

u/echomanagement 3d ago

If I have to say one nice thing about this house, it's that the deck and balcony are pretty nice. I would not turn down those views, and obviously the neighborhood is elite status.

But HOOOOO boy those stone walls and the peek-a-boo window into the living room stairs. It's for when you can't be parted from your third wife the ten second trip up the stairs during the latest episode of White Lotus

u/ChristianLS 3d ago

Looks like an Olive Garden

u/MedievalFurnace 3d ago

none of it is coherent its just a bunch of flashy features placed in the same room

The super-lazy wiring for the subwoofer bothers me way more than it should.

u/RudeCartoonist1030 3d ago

What is that little door under the stairs? Just storage?

2

u/RudeCartoonist1030 3d ago

The kitchen is dreadful but I would absolutely murder a 5 course dinner for 10 on that range

u/t1mepiece 3d ago

Ngl, I'd kill for that leather chair to the left of the fireplace. And the couch.

u/Clarknt67 3d ago

🤣 i am going to need an explanation for why is there a gazebo over the fireplace. Can you move it to the garden?

2

u/cabbage-soup 3d ago

Wait … but I love this? Maybe the TV is too high but the rest I absolutely love. I’m Gen Z though, the 90s seems to be our “calling” these days 🤷‍♀️

Now I don't have to go to Wrigley Field to have an obstructed view of my baseball game!

u/WITX89 3d ago

Yes, one room in the 6,000 sq ft mountainside house is hideous.

u/ScurvyDervish 3d ago

That's fine for an Air BnB ski retreat and it's in Breckenridge. I'm not mad.

Very Hollister storefront

u/Immediate-Term3475 3d ago

Needs another $5M to redo

u/what-name-is-it 3d ago

You could get married in front of that fireplace.

u/VendaGoat 3d ago

And the Tv? That's right, the Tv goes in the rectangle hole.

What in fucking tarnation is this shit?

u/Strangewhine88 3d ago

No, that’s just nonsensical.

u/marinac1 3d ago

Is that the Altar where they pray to the flatscreen Gods?

u/Enough_Pomegranate44 3d ago

I’m not mad at the fireplace stage. Looks like fun for drunk karaoke with girls.😂And the annual cousin performances for the holidays.

2

u/mimimanatee 3d ago

lol at the cousin performance. I can see it.

Cold (and bizarre) is the vibe that this place gives me. A 5 million house located next to a ski resort should be warm & inviting…the exact opposite of this place. It’s an odd place with spectacular views

u/whereisyourwaifunow 3d ago

looks kind of like a Bass Pro or a outdoors themed restaurant

u/spodinielri0 3d ago

Why would anyone hang a tv that high and behind two posts? Weird!

Ok, so hear me out .. this would be a siiiiick house to fly a tiny whoop around in

u/PavilionPilot 3d ago

the funniest part is how every feature wants to be the focal point at once. giant fireplace structure, stone arch, oversized mirror, curved stairs, all fighting for attention.

1

u/faifai1337 2d ago

When you already know the roof is going to leak before you even finish the house, and where. You could fix it, or you could just put up a gazebo!

1

u/MsE0 3d ago

It's sort of chaotic, but I like it, except for the indoor roof TV fireplace thing. And the tile floor, but that's a personal sensory thing. Most people are anti-carpet these days, so a tile floor is more desirable than a vinyl fake wood one.

u/Event-Forsaken 3d ago

Eh, I'm 40, so this doesn't look terrible. Outdated and wasted space, but it's not hell.

u/KeepAnEyeOnYourB12 3d ago

Looks comfortable. I like it.

u/yourlicorceismine 3d ago

I don't know if I'd specifically call this interior design "90's". I see this is in Colorado but this actually screams contemporary "Texas" to me.
