Inside Orville ...
First, I just wanted Orville to ravage me and then kind of go into the night in his horse. Now I want to fucking marry him. I'd be a househusband and stay in his tree house if that's what he wants. Now that THAT is out of the way, let's talk about the house!
I think it's fab. It combines some of the things I like most: a sense of style and things that actually belong to the person living there: it's not a showcase, it's a home. I love that it's not... pretentious? It's a 1944 house, so, win. You know it's gonna have character. And he got to put in it all the things he had collected through the years (17 years of touring!) and that alone would make for a fun house. All the stories!!
The kitchen is adorable without trying too hard (that sink!!) and the story of that wall phone? The bedrooms are full of light and that alone would have me salivating, but the touches are what absolutely sold me on them (I want that self-portrait and the peek-a-boo window) and the closets? *faints*
As for that bathroom?? Do covet. Same as his studio! OMG I would love to have a space like that with books and records and my desk. Yes. And the grounds and the deck??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
XOXO
P.S. give me a call, Orville. I have a boot jack waiting for ya...
The title of this post misleads me!!!! I was hoping for details of what you'd do with him.
ReplyDeleteNope ,nope, and nope. As your aware I cannot take him. Nope. The freaking mask and tassels is getting old. Nope. And soooo not into rustic style, nope, unless it's an industrial rustic style. That said I do think, well know, he has a banging body and nice sized "personality" so I'm sure you'd enjoy getting banged into next week as he calls out your name in that voice. I'm passing, lol!
It's been hell getting caught up again. I should have stayed in the Riveria.....
and PS- Why in HELL does he have a custom Dior shirt hanging on a PLASTIC hanger?!?!?!?!?!?!? WHAT?!?!?! What's next a pair of Crocs!?!? My Crawford side wants to beat his ass! He might enjoy it too. I'll send him some wood or silk hangers remind me dear......
DeleteHahahaha
DeleteSame! He said Dior and I almost fainted. That also tells us that he probably does not really care about all the glitz.
And I just cannot see him in Crocs. Birkenstocks? yes. Crocs? NO.
XOXO
P.S. we are happy you're back! LOL
I'd take it just for the outside; I'd live out there. Of course, I'd make sure orville came with the house first.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Oh, absolutely.
DeleteCan you imagine the PARTIES??? I think the surroundings are fab (and the VIEW!!). I'd just hang around and would ask Orville to wear only a pair of faded, very short pair of Daisy Dukes. Yes, I've thought about this.
XOXO
I love his home for all the reasons you state, especially because it is precisely a home and not a showcase! Ordinarily, a little rustic wood goes a long way but he offsets it nicely with a lot of more modern looking walls and lots of light. I love the windows in his house. And that cute "sky toilet" too!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI could see that a person lived there! And I don't even like all that rustic craftsmanship and yet, it looks so good!
The 'sky toilet'? Adorable. And practical!
XOXO
HuntleyBiGuy:
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic house. The rustic character really fits his personality. I like how even the refrigerator is clad in wood. Like Debra said, even with the mostly dark wood, he lightens it up with art and light walls and personal touches.
I am siding with Maddie a bit in that I think we’ve had enough of the masks, it’s time for him to come out into the open. He’s still a bangin’ stud.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
I know!
DeleteI can see him riding a horse. Easily.
And he can wear a mask while he rides me, TBH. Now there's a thought I never suspected I would write down...
XOXO
Big says,
ReplyDeleteThis is the quintessential 1940s bungalow. A bit too much of the rustic for me, but it does have some great character and he's kept it all intact. I mean, if you're going to buy something like that.... Love the stove! The outside? The outdoor kitchen, all the different levels of patios circling the house. Yes, please. But unless those are fruitless olives --- what a freaking mess! XOXO
P.S. He has a beard. Who knew??? And, I'm with Maddie - the mask thing is old and he needs to retire it. He's made a name, he's got the talent, he no longer needs the gimmick.
Isn't it charming?
DeleteAnd I don't even mind all that wood *giggles*. I love the stove too! Such a fab conversation piece! And that house can be lived inside OR outside and it would be as charming. Love.
And yes, he's got a beard. And the prettiest eyes. And those arms! And those long legs!
XOXO
That mask: what a pity!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
DeleteBut he's got all the rest. And I like what I can see...
Between us, I would like him to wear the mask while he does me. Yep, I'm slightly kinky...
XOXO
Nice, not a lot of clutter.
ReplyDeleteI know right?
DeleteAnd still, he's got artwork, and mementos and everything that makes a house interesting and lived-in.
XOXO
Let me know when you guys have registered so I can send a nice wedding gift. =)
ReplyDeleteHahaha
DeleteI will, Mr. Shife! As soon as I recover from fainting.
XOXO
I enjoy his simplicity. His economy. His dogs. The hats? Hell no. His style reminds me of a college graduate who just got his first credit card. I like the place. But I would ask him to build himself a man cave and leave the decorating to me. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteSame.
DeleteI think it does not look staged at all. It feels like he LIVES there. And his style is very straight man, TBH. I kind of find it endearing.
XOXO
