Oh and, even though the Biltmore Estate is awesome and tries to mimic French Renaissance Architecture (does it ok) you can tell it's not in France and it's not authentic. |
You know, if you're one of those artistic crafty fuckers you can truly make a beautiful living space. Like the one in your pictures, with the carved wood stuff.
My uncle is a self-taught carpenter (wood artist or whatever), and he can literally do anything. My parents recently built a very, very expensive house and he did all of the wood work inside. It's gorgeous, his hand carvings, cabinetry, etc, is literally among some of the most beautiful woodwork I've ever seen.
He has a small house, but it is completely pimped out, for example, he's religious and at the entry to each of the bedrooms there is a cross inlaid into the floors, but it's like flush or whatever, it's amazing.
And people who are painters, they can do all these amazing fascinating things, etc. I really wish I was one of those arty people!
