Almost Good, Except…: If You’re Going To Build A Castle, Don’t Do It Halfway

This house has a lot of re-chido features. It has a lion guarding the entrance:


It has a garden wall with a little door:


Gargoyles!:


Love the twisty chimney:


Even an entry tower, and crenellation on the terrace:

Could’ve been really awesome, but the windows look all wrong to me, the back doesn’t match, and the roof isn’t really castle-perfect.

I keep meaning to comment - way cool chimney. I showed it to Kirk and he said one word - "psychedelic".

the 'gargoyle' is interesting...sitting there next to the downspout, and under the overhang of the roof. Isn't the function of a gargoyle to drain water away from the structure? or am i confusing it with something else? i'll have to "look it up"

Well, I really like the castle parts that they did do. I think I need a little garden door like that.
