creative, but too much stuff for my taste... also, HUGE. why so big for only 4 people?!

This is a very interesting house. The master bathroom is ridiculous. Love all the white.

I also love the Art Deco mirrors in a lot of the bathrooms.

The kitchen. Oh, that kitchen is so cute. Very unexpected.

There were a couple rooms that seemed to be a hodgepodge of college dorm posters and decor though.

But overall it is an amazing house.

I was just getting ready to make my first "room for color" vote and then saw it was a house tour instead.

Love it! Cozy and interesting.

Being eco friendly also goes into the construction of the home... Flying in people and materials is not a sustainalbe practise. Certification rules need to be revised to include the process, not just the end product.. And its too big a house for 4 to be sustainable!!

^^ditto.

Fantastic! Talk about style. I love the orange tiles on the wall in the bathroom, the black and white lounge chair, the life size bull, etc.

They must throw one hell of a party!

Even if you didn't personally fly in the materials, the store you bought them from probably transported them from somewhere so it's not like you're being that much worse for the environment by doing that...

It does seem really big though, in terms of the number of rooms. Like, a 6,000 square foot house could be (sort of) reasonable especially if you have a lot of visiting family or entertain a lot, but why are there like three living rooms?

What is in the glass vase in the first picture?

This place is a dream. Beautiful :)

The rooms seem very disconnected, like they could all be from diff houses. It would be hard to ever feel calm or relaxed in a house like that, but there are some beautiful pieces.

Fun. You, your home, your taste, your sense of adventure, Fun. I enjoyed your tour so much more than alot of the safe houses that could have been pulled from any decor mag. I had a feeling that I could sit in any of your rooms and have a feeling. To me that is design. Thanks.

Laura, I think its match books?

It's a lot of look...maybe a little too much for me, but it's also a refreshing change from the usual eames chairs and "keep calm and carry on" posters.

Point 1: I love it.
Point 2: To built something like this in Bucarest is really a big challenge. I have been there for many times. The whole City is a big challenge. Very nice old buildings, most of them in a very bad condition. Great job!

Great post! Love the hot pink and charcoal kitchen more than I thought I would.

Such a luxe home with babies no less! Love it (-:

Interesting home - seems a bit like a hodge-poge of objects from different eras, styles etc.
However, the color pallette ties it all in.
The only exception is that turquoise bathroom.. what's up with that?
I love the top floor with the terrace the best ... airy and modern.
Surprised they would allow AT to photograph their twins though given all the speculation in the Romanian media.

*hodge podge

Is that Batman and Robin kissing? Love it!

The kitsch and garish don't go far enough for my taste, but it's most important they enjoy their own digs! The cribs pic is taken from an unnerving angle though, like something out of The Shining...

Love the dark color of the master bedroom. Very nice!

I've been to Romania and people's homes do not look like this at all. Homes and apartments are much more smaller (like the rest of Europe). People decorate a lot more ornate and ethnic, not unlike other Eastern Europeans would, including Russians. The only place that I'd say looked relatively modern was a hotel where I stayed at for one night and my husband's renovated apartment.

Having said that, I did enjoy looking through this home. Not everything is in my taste, but I think they did a great job putting together such an ecclectic style. It definitely has subdued wackiness and humor to it. It's almost like a fun house, but without the ridiculous clowns and mirrors. The two bathrooms were my favorite places in the whole house.

I love the giant bull (in the office?). Overall, great art, great colors, cute twins, great kitchen, and great bathrooms. You can tell that the owners they put a lot of passion, love, and energy into their home. Who cares if anyone else likes it?

What a FANTASTIC use of color. Especially the kitchen. Remarkable.

And on a side note...I have a little game I like to play during house tours. I try to not read the names to see if I can tell if the couples are gay or not, and I could not tell...until I saw the painting of Batman and Robin kissing. LOL! Dead give away. But I love it.

Gorgeous home. Adorable Twins. Fabulous. Fabulous. Fabulous.

so interesting... looooved the master bedroom, and the hallway!!!! so many beautiful pieces...

i kindaa had a problem with the color palette of the living room, the rosy one... vomit..
but hey you can't please everybody!!

either way!! it makes me want to party!

Absolutely fabulous! Iconic furniture, well edited, beautiful. Enjoy!

Tres posh! That would be a really cool nightclub.

The bull is amazing!

Very beautiful things. Exquisite things. What do you do when the babies explore their home? The home is like a huge work of art. I love it!

Soooo cool...

Never would have thought to put those two kinds of tile together in the bathroom. Fantastic.

Oh my goodness do I ever love this house! The bull! The bathrooms! The art! The tiles!

Love it all. But I especially love the painting of batman and robin kissing. Fan-freaking-tastic!!

Love the expression on the twins' faces! And is that John Frusciante in a valley of flowers? I hope it is and please send it to me.

there seems to be a lot of obviously jealous people responding. i think its fantastic and so unique which you dont really find on a.t too much anymore.

beautiful, interesting place. very colorful and a fun mix of styles. note: they also use IKEA (pic 36)! ;-)

I am an expat living in Romania and when I read "colorful Romanian Home" I really thought I was going to see all the great romanian style houses I see around here... what a DISAPPOINTMENT !

This house looks fantastic, BUT can't be called "Romanian Home", it is a great "colorful house IN Romania"... They did a brilliant job, but this is pure westerner standards.

I think this home is beautiful, interesting and fun. However, as some one who works in Architecture in the States and has to explain to designers over and over again, that you can not fly materials half way across the world and claim LEED certification status. This post just ticks me off. Also the tone is so very...this guy is a total bore. I am so glad he lives in Romania -which means I never have to have him as a client. Yay, I win.

I wanted to hate this because, really, who talks like that? But this is really a fun and original tour. Even the odd and the ugly are beautiful here and doing that takes talent.

I think this is one of my favorite house tours EVER. I love the funky colors, the lighting, even the bull. I love it when you see the personality of the owners in every room...not just a home that looks like an advertisement for West Elm, Ikea, CB2....

Love!

Nice robot art in the bedroom.

I love this home.

I love a lot of the elements, in fact my tiny one-bedroom in Chicago has a similar arc lamp and gray shaggy rug. However, I, like others who left comments, have issue with the fact that you call this house eco-friendly despite it's massive scale. Six thousand square feet? I can think of several different ways I would have spent the money you put into this house. I hope I don't offend anyone in my criticism....To each his own.

I thought I was watching lifestyles of the rich and famous. Totally overdone and bombastic, IMO.

Does anyone know who created the long rug in the hallway? I looked into the resources for rugs, but couldn't figure out which company it was from.

Thank you violetjo for the research. How could AT miss this story? It's at least as interesting as the space.

@ TEM: I agree; but they are rich and famous (at least in their area of the planet)
Yeah, totally overdone. To each their own.

I am absolutely in love with your kitchen!! I think it is the best new kitchen I have seen in a long time.

So much passion was put into making this 6,000 square feet into a home. Thanks for sharing Perry and Lestat, and may the both of you build happy memories with your adorable twins in this fabulous space.

Love the kitchen and the white bathroom with the Ikea locker!

Very fun and interesting house tour! My fave parts:

The kitchen floor

Batman making out with Robin

The bathrooms!!

@VioletJo thanks for the background story, makes it more understandable and frankly I think it's neat they accomplished this themselves.
Love the layering of design throughout the home. After the tour, my only thought was, so many things to dust.

Hello, Rumania! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, especially such surprises as the pink accents in the kitchen and the full-sized bull (!!!).

Congratulations on the love you have extended to your adopted (assumption) twins.

The children look like the all other luxury accessories in this house. Decorative, expensive (a surrogate?), and over-managed. The butterflies under glass in their room seem so blatantly ironic... at first I was wondering what they would do when the kids started wandering around the house and exploring all those interesting things at floor level, and then I realized that the children will probably spend most of their time in the nursery suite. As for dusting, if they don't have a number of servants, I'll eat my words. Still, an interesting glimpse into a kind of wealth and style of life that very few people possess.

It's a gorgeous house, but I can't imagine spending that much money on anything!!

All I see is pretentious, garish and tacky. There are some nice pieces in there, to be sure, but it's all so overdone. There's far too much stuff (though I noticed quite a few little pieces being moved around from room to room for the shoot) and it's dizzying how busy it all looks. Not my style at all. Reminds me more of something out of a mafia movie. Glad they love their home, but I do wonder how much they will be willing to change when the babies start really moving around.

Gorgeous. Love the colors.

of course the house is beautiful, but is this a joke?

"Less is more" is obviously not their favorite saying - environmentally friendly? Brazilian marble? was that purchased from Strada Brasilia in Primavera (the other suburb in local Bucuresti) or did it actually do those air/ sea miles to get there?

Seriously AT, if we wanted house tours of ridiculously wealthy socialites we would look in whatever is the Euro version of In Style. Not to sound like a hater, but I would have rather seen a "normal" home of an actual Romanian. To see how an average person deals with what this fellow was complaining about (high prices, red-tape, etc.) would be really interesting.

That aside, it is obviously carefully curated and designed, with plenty of irony and cleverness and flair, but it is absolutely devoid of any sense of joy. Especially the nursery. Speaking as a mother, that is seriously bleak. Hopefully they will change that up a little bit before the children grow up- no one wants to live in a magazine spread.

@Jessica Swanlake
The house isn't exactly my cup of tea, but to say that it is "devoid of any sense of joy" seems a bit harsh to me. How exactly can you tell from pictures of objects whether there is joy in a home? And I found absolutely nothing wrong at all with the nursery. In fact, I found some of the elements in there quite charming.

Is that a Pierre et Gilles print in the living room?! If so, my heart just smiled and I'm sorry they were given credit in your list of artworks!!

That view of the staircase - breathtaking! If someone had told me the accent color for their kitchen was bright pink - I'd be saying "ugh". Looking at your pink accented kitchen I'm saying "ahh" - who knew?! Thanks for sharing. Adorable twins, btw.

@MandyDavis. That does sound harsh, you are right. I did not mean to insinuate that their family life is devoid of joy- I hope they are quite happy. Who wouldn't be with such cute babies, right?
It is their home I find lacking, physically. Everything is just too curated. It seems too planned. For all the color and texture, it is generic- there is no sense of the actual people who live there, outside of the fact that they like to buy nice things. It is hard to explain, but sometimes you get a happy feeling looking at a AT tour, even if it is not your style, but it is lacking here. It is like looking at a movie set- pretty, maybe, but empty.

Dear ofheart&city, the long rug in the hallway is from www.rugvity.ro
Best,
LM

I like the white wall living/sitting room with the art and openness off of the outdoor space. Tile selection in bathroom nice. Otherwise I find the mauve and overall color schemes pretty darn depressing.

Oh and this must be the richest family in all of Romania

Love the top picture and the small pillows in the bedroom.

I love the daring use of color and unexpected color combinations!
