Tasteful Friends: Be Blinded by Luxury and Knockoff Baccarat Chandeliers in this $14M Miami Residence
They finally let you onto Fisher Island - with the Bushes? The Jeb Bushes? - but you're sadly saddled with this compound of three residences connected by an enormous open rooftop patio. Seriously, you could land a Soviet helicopter out there, and yet you still have to share a pool with the rest of the building.
I'm not sure what the owner's fixation on sculpture is, but she has shitty taste all around. The varnished walls are blinding. The carved marble sinks next to the Home Depot toilets are unsettling. And the proximity to the shipping channel means ten thousand sunburned Midwesterners will see your TV as they glide by each week.

What's with all the lacquered veneer?

Not absolutely hideous, but it’s a bit much.

The decor screams to guests, "GO HOME! GET OUT OF HERE!" No good can come of it.

All that money, and absolutely no taste.

Even before getting into any deep details, just generally the white with the brown is NOT working for me, even tough it's hardly a rare home color combo.

Jeeze that's a lot of lacquered woodwork. It's in every single room in the house including the bathrooms.

There’s also an obsession with long white leather sofas. Is there one in every room? And not one looks inviting.
Not exactly cozy. Looks like it’s ready for shooting screaming matches and weave-pulling scenes in Real Housewives.

The polish on those floors. Do people have to wear surgical booties over their shoes before they can walk around the place. It's too tasteful to be Eastern European/Russian. Gulf states owner?
Followed by the widow's casket dance, r9 and r10. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I was more freaked out by her video and making private mourning so public and dramatic.

Ugh - summarizes why I hate Miami. Ugly excess for excess’ sake. For which people are willing to pay insane amounts of money. I don’t get it - but it appeals to someone I guess.

I watched it, R9, and let me tell you, this listing is way more painful to witness.

You might be onto something R12. The décor looks like something you would expect to find inside a private jet.
She and the MAGA cunts are milking it for all it's worth. I expect her to be given a Fox News position or similar right wing network and be made a MAGA Queen widow martyr.

$14 MILLION for a big ass CONDO? If you have that much money in Miami I'm guessing you might be able to find something better

All the people above you are looking straight down at that stupid deck. What would you use it for?
Landing a helicopter has been mentioned but I can picture a 1970s' style t.v. rooftop chase/shootout being filmed there.

I was confused at first because at $14 million for 5000 sq ft, I didn’t realize it was a condo. So the floors and finishes seemed even more over the top for a single family home.
It’s not cheap, it’s just too much. And I feel like the finishes are super high end, the furniture less so, and the bedding looks like it’s from wayfair? There are elements I don’t hate. I like that’s it’s not gray, but there is too much brown.
I’m guessing black athlete/black athlete’s wife. The cheap bedding makes me think it’s someone who was willing to spend on permanent stuff, but still has some sense of what things cost. Like they grew up middle class and still don’t completely have their head around what’s reasonable for someone with their kind of money. Because I feel like that’s the kind of thing I might do. Have a $14 million second home I refurbish with resale in mind, but get confused. And then buy bedding on sale.

The issue is there is no variety in decor. If you took the 2-5 main public rooms, I am fine with the quality of the surface decor. Might replace some furniture and fixtures. It really is 2025 neo deco lux. However then dozens of rooms need individual styles.

They'd better prepare for several more price reductions.

Seemed too expensive, but then I saw that the condo comes with 2 parking spaces.

I was thinking that it looked like something from a dime-a-dozen Dubai housing estate, r33. It's the big boxy white rooms and marble floors. I think someone with real money would choose to live somewhere nicer and hire an architect.
