    However, if they were really random or had a particular relationship with the owner, it might be more fun.

    For example, in her gaff, Pippa Middleton (Matthews) could have callipygous ;)

    That's woken my brain up for the day already - and I've not had my first cup of coffee yet. Learnt a new word and thought "Hang on a minute - do we know she's taken his surname? She could have kept her own or they've double-barrelled with both".

    I love ball pits!

    If I won the lottery, with buying a mansion - one of the rooms will be transformed into one.

    Money, as so often I will disagree - random words on walls were never ok.

    Definitely agree re: random words/nasty stickers.....the work of the devil, imho!

    Meaningful Latin inscriptions are a different kettle of fish.......(spoken as someone who painted free-hand such an inscription in a previous house - in 1999, so predating the current fad - inspired by similar inscriptions on the Arts and Crafts furniture I love ;):D)

    Ooh, I'd love one of those!

    Looks a really characterful house externally, but imho is extremely disappointing/unsympathetically done internally. Cheap though ;)

    Yes, that's incredibly cheap. You could get a small 2 bed or flat in a bad part of town where I live for that price.

    Admirable, but he's going to regret using particle board in a structure that flexes slightly as it moves.

    That's one of the problem of treating building as a pastime for well-meaning amateurs. We pay for the lack of experience by re-enacting everybody else's mistakes a la Groundhog Day. :(
