This is every little girls dream house. It is so adorable but make no mistake, I love the pictures but could never stay for longer than a quick tour.
The hilarious part is the Lone Ranger and Tonto, so out of place.
Click on the picture in the upper right hand corner to see the rest of it.

I think someone should buy it and use it as a business, for tea parties.

Wow! That was a lot of pink and floral! I would remove a few things to make it completely adorable .

It looks like Mary
Engelbreit and Strawberry Shortcake decorated it. I do love the red fridge.

enterprise is really out there in the rural high desert... I think the wallpaper would have to go.

Good bones, nice property, it’s even furnished in a lovely manner.
The wall paper has to go

There is some really cool stuff in that house. I really liked the wall paper in the first several slides, but by the time you get to slide 35 and it's getting bigger and bolder, it becomes way too much. Yet, if I were the buyer I would feel bad getting rid of it. It really would be an adorable place to host tea parties.

I have a soft spot for pink houses! My grandparents had one!  It is adorable, I'm glad they made it their own. If it were mine, I would tone down the florals and the clutter.
Anyone else laugh at The Lone Ranger and Tonto?  Doesn't quite go with the theme. |

Pretty, but not at all restful. All that busy wallpaper! I do love the bathtub full of flowers in the garden.  |

I really couldn`t look at more than half the photos, love the actual house but everything inside makes me shudder. Then again I tend towards Steampunk/Goth so that might have something to do with it. |

It's like Mackenzie Childs gone off the rails. Too much sensory overload.

I've always been a big Mary Engelbreit and MacKenzie-Childs fan, but this house has taken both to the extreme! The hilarious part is the Lone Ranger and Tonto, so out of place. They are standing there wondering what alternative universe they have time traveled to! |

I had to google. I think the florals are gorgeous, but I do not like them paired with the checkered patterns. They look sloppily painted. It's probably intentional, but I don't like the look. It's like she paired up with Mary Engelbreit to come up with a more sophisticated look. I do like the floral pieces on their own. I don't mind the parchment check as much. |

I lived in that house when I was a girl! It is so different from when I lived there. So many changes have been made to it, some I like, some not so much. I love the gazebo they have added beside the front porch and the matching shed they added would be perfect for a studio! We only had a few flowers. I love seeing so many flowers. It looks like a doll house now. So many fun memories of living there! Of all the houses I have lived in, this was my favorite!

That would be like living inside a doll house. It’s fun, but way too much going on.

I can't help but wonder if living in this house influenced my being detail oriented and being a Fancy Nancy at heart. I love the changes they have made to the outside. But I do have to say that even though I love details and frills, it is WAY to cluttered and detailed now the way it has been decorated inside. There is no white space to rest the eyes. It is overwhelming and exhausting all the details and things. Less truly is more.
The added details outside add to the Victorian style. But inside there are too many things that aren't so Victorian. I like Mary Engelbright, but I think her style is more whimsical than Victorian. I think the owner could decorate houses in at least 3 or 4 styles with what is in there. There are too many patterns of wallpaper to pull the house together in a cohesive style. And some of it is way too dark for my taste.
There are so many patterns and designs competing for attention that to me it seems kind of like a semi-Victorian version of Bohemian style. There is so much stuff that it seems cluttered, like a collector gone out of control.
