The "Guadiest House" had a million animal heads all over the study. This new listing in Bunker Hill has the most heads I've ever seen.

What's your opinion? Is it a faux pas or the latest trend in local decor?

They need a ranch.LOL. Perfectly acceptable to place them all on the same wall in a ranch house/cabin.

One or two placed in a gameroom in Houston is a enough. I'm down to one Elk in the stairwell here.

My brother was told to remove all the animal heads in his gameroom out in the burbs. It was freaking all the Californians out. Apparently one of them even left the house because of them. Good thing they weren't looking in one the old Houston Neighborhoods, they might have had a heartattack.

LOL, yes, most of the bigger homes in my neighborhood have built in gun racks too, only a couple had the animal heads that I have come across over here though.

Not my thing. I'd leave, too, just because I couldn't stomach looking at all those eyes and heads (leave the room...not the house...I would hope that I could *see* beyond that if I were buying a house).

It's just about as creepy as seeing the listing a year or 2 ago for a house in the Spring or Cypress area where the owner was obviously a doll collector. OMG. It was covered wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling in dolls. Did I already mention CREEPY?

Anyone see the show last year, I think, where a couple was being "mediated" because the wife had all their deceased pets stuffed & displayed and the husband was just tired of it all?

In addition to being gaudy and tacky, that's just bad juju. There's enough other issues to worry about when house buying, I don't need to be worrying about those kinds of karmic nasties being left behind too!

It's pretty obvious who runs the house in that family. LOL "Ok, you can have ONE ROOM to put your stupid trophy mounts in, but the rest of the house is MINE, buddy!"

Sorry, it just screams.... "tiny penis" to me. LOL

Nice house otherwise, if you like boring off-white walls.

Liberials are easy to spot.

a million heads ? each head takes up 6+sq. ft.
Does the OP know how ignorant your statement sounds now ?
