The public isn’t ready for Alison’s wall to wall neon pink shag carpet and mauve sofa.

There better be snacks and beer down there…

Show me the man cave.

The velvet Dogs Playing Poker painting was a big attraction.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to finish the basement first, so that the house doesn’t fall into the hole?

Shouldn’t that be “Watch These Steps?” They aren’t mine. Just a nit to pick.

Only the world’s Royalty and that of the Ballard Street social climbers can get away with this. :>)
