It does nothing to showcase the features of the house and frankly I think the staging detracts from the architectural features. That being said, would I trade it for my dear little cottage? Absolutely not!

The size or cost doesn't bother me (although I can't afford it), I just think it's tasteless in both it's design and the execution of what it's trying to be.
