A matter of taste/whose taste?!

If you walked into that house and the outside was a log house, it would look stunning. In this case it doesn't appear to match it's surrounding. Maybe a moose head or bear rug would cheer things up.

Not for the moose...

I appreciate bobfogs comments. I sort of like it, and some wrought iron would have been a bit nicer.
In a way it reminded me of the tour through Maloof's house in Cucamunga (SoCal)...
It was almost too much.
I can appreciate the artist quality of a hinge done out of wood, but in a Bauhaus sense, a metal hinge makes more sense to me.

Well [member=40772]Holmz[/member]  you did bring up Bauhaus.

I like it lot better than the picture that started this thread. [2cents]

Based on my experience, diagonal wood siding screams "1970's".  I would automatically assume that building has popcorn ceilings.

Or a disco ball attached to that popcorn ceiling. [popcorn] [popcorn]

The feedback given is one of the reasons I generally don't post pictures furniture or other I've made on forums or anywhere, for that matter. The work seems creative to me and well done, especially the stairs. Whether the actual design appeals to me isn't the question for me. Rather, my interest is in the technique, methods, and tools used to make it (probably very basic tools). I find I don't need the satisfaction of others telling me it is good (if it is) so I really just get my satisfaction and reward from designing, milling, cutting, carving, assembly, and finishing (hate finishing) of the piece. If I can learn a new technique from someone else's work, it really doesn't matter to me whether his/her final result was something that appeals to me.

You are so right.

If the owner likes it who cares what I think. Now if the owner tries to sell it then the opinions of others starts to matter.

Epic!

I think the whole design is a study in contrasts.  There is nothing in sight that really matches up with anything else.
Everything is sort of a little "off topic".  Should that be familiar?  :

You described my house very well!

i think part of the problem is bad choice of lens to take the picture.
the parallax effect makes it look extremely odd thus not helping to show this magnificent workmanship in it's best presentation.
some of the details are really cool, the way the white strips on the stairs lead off onto the floor is quite charming, however put next to all the other white stripes on the floor, the detail gets lost.
both the hand rail and endpost look really nice too, however i don't think they blend in or add to the dynamics overall.
i'm not sure i would want all of this together in this one space, however each element looks well done in it's own right.
i think i'd have to view a few more pictures to give a more definitive answer, however after the initial shock i actually quite like it. throw a couple of contrasting rugs on the floor and it will eat up a lot of the busyness.

Agree [member=7493]Sparktrician[/member]  but look at the lines of that vessel. Pre WW1 bow design matched with those curves. Still, probably rocks and rolls all over the place!  [smile]

Somewhat unexpectedly, the basic price quoted for the boat is less than for the car...

Dunno  [unsure].

I'm not in the market for a yacht, but if I were - I'd consider it.

Why?  Because it's different. And your yacht looks like every other yacht from Miami to Monaco.
