The "comments" below the article are truly hilarious. I totally concur. HIDEOUS.

For an additional million, he'll rig the chandelier in the living room to fall on your guests after dinner.

He may be a brilliant director, but the man has no design aesthetic. Wow.

My favorite comment on that page:

I don't get it. He buys it to flip it, and then makes it look like that? Perhaps he thinks it's high end, but it looks like a few clowns have been murdered, dismembered, and thrown on the walls.

It's rather busy, isn't it? I do like the kitchen though. Besty, that comment made me giggle too!

John Waters needs to shoot his next movie in this house.

That is the single worst kitchen island I've ever seen. It looks like a suppository.

"Prince and his wife bought the 20-foot-wide (and 90 feet deep) Georgian townhouse on East 74th..."

Seriously?!

Does Georgian mean the same thing over there that it means over here?

It's sad to think that townhouse used to be Georgian.

Now it's George Jeffersonian.

With each picture, I found myself giggling more. Amazing! All I kept thinking is candy canes and melting sherbert.

Absolutely wonderful. I love how there doesn't even seem to be much thought in how the rooms work off of one another--it's like after wallpapering a couple of ceilings they got tired and left some rooms more or less bare. (And love the final aknowledgement that he had trouble unloading his last place, perhaps due to the interior design...) At least Princes has (ahem, largely) shown more taste in the design work he gets for his shows.

...but it looks like a few clowns have been murdered, dismembered, and thrown on the walls.

Best12, you forgotten to mention that the clowns were first eaten and then vomited on the walls and furniture.

Somebody greatly overestimates his/her ability to match prints.

Maybe he has "thirty sixty thousand dollars worth of Georgian silver in his dining room."

OK, I gotta ask:

What's with the stuffed animals in the bedrooms? The Winnie the Pooh doll, etc.?

And the office is the least ugly room in the house. Updated On: 7/16/12 at 12:23 AM
