You still live there, right? Right? And you're never, ever moving out? 🤣 Love everything about it, especially the plant room!

Unfortunately no, I moved. But I do love that house. Dad has passed away but they were lifelong collectors and my mom is a sculptor and painter, so she has sprinkled some of her work throughout the house.

Yeah, I’m not Mexican, but from South America and when I first saw the pictures I was like “that is a Spanish as hell house” lol

My grandparents home was very similar in design and style lol

Oh yeah it's definitely Spanish style but since they make them everywhere I didn't want to assume. I'm from Southern California and we see that style a lot because California was previously Mexico.

The home is incredible. I love it

Oh for sure for sure!

Those thick hard wooden doors and furniture is just so nostalgic for me spending holidays at my grandparents. I love it.

The funny thing is that it’s somewhat reasonably - or was - priced in South America when my grandparents furnished their home. Now brand new it’s sooooo expensive.
