Tasteful Friends: What do we make of this charming little cottage?

What would you want us to say, OP?

Frankly, I find the Tasteful Friends posts featuring hideous buildings more than a little tedious.

The rectangular straightlined doors everywhere quite ruin the effect and expose the poor, lowbrow concept.

I’ve always wanted to know what home life with Uncke Owen and Aunt Beau was like for Luke.

Like living in someone's nasal cavity.

R1, no one is forcing you to click on Tasteful Friends threads.

And as an R1 you're supposed to leave a witty remark, not a tedious complaint.

It has a Barcelona / Gaudi-esque quality to it. But it's tiny - especially for Texas.

I've lived in Austin, and I had no idea this thing was 10 min away from Downtown.

Picture it crawling with spiders, scorpions and snakes.

I couldn’t imagine bringing a date over.

I love it, and it can be had for $550 a night, but it might be worth it as a place to take a trip.

Drop acid there? Maybe not.

It fits the city's official motto: "Keep Austin Weird".

I agree that the square premade windows and doors kind of ruin the effect. It should have a round door like a hobbit hole, and round AND oval windows.

Other than that, I rather like it! It's too much, of course, but the weirdness is well done.

I had an art professor that used to build "foam dome homes" like this back in the day. I would smile and nod, act interested, and get an "A."

I had a legit physical reaction to it. it made me nauseated

I'd feel like I was living in someones rectum.
