Not Even RuPaul Would Mistake This Brooklyn Home for Being Eleganza Extravaganza

While looking at the pictures of the house this week, the one person who kept coming to mind was RuPaul. During her show, RuPaul’s Drag Race, she will use the expression “Eleganza Extravaganza” to describe a curated blend of elegance and opulence in design. There is little doubt that the people who decorated this house had that mandate at the forefront of all their decisions. Believe me, decisions were made.

I love her so much. I digress. Back to this house. The owners’ choices here were not an eleganza extravaganza, but quite the opposite. In fact, this decor extravaganza would knock RuPaul right off her eleganza stilettos.

RuPaul is a very positive and supportive person, but even she knows.

“Meticulously designed with a reverence for European opulence” is how this Brooklyn home is described in the listing. I don’t think they know what any of those words mean. It’s an extravaganza of some whole other kind.

I will say, these people are committed to their choices. Holy crap.

The blue provides a little bit of relief to the eyeballs but not much. At this point, I find myself fighting the urge to call Rome and ask El Papa if the Vatican is missing pieces of their gilded gold trim.

It’s as though someone said, “I wish I could get a golden tan while I worked,” and boink, they created an office where, after a mere 30 minutes, the reflection off the tacky gold foil will leave you as brown as a berry.

“The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece of elegance, where intricate craftsmanship meets modern luxury. Custom cabinetry adorned with hand-applied gilded moldings and carved details set a refined tone, while a grand central island topped in polished stone offers both beauty and functionality.”

Hand to God, when I first saw these pictures, I thought I was looking at the primary closet with all the gilded nonsense. A kitchen never crossed my mind until I saw the dining table, and then I wondered why in the name of everything good and holy would they put a dining room table in their closet.

I’m throwing this picture in just because of the sculpture of a stripper doing a very pro move on a pole. She’s upside down, hanging on with her legs. It’s the most Brooklyn thing about this house.

My eyes are exhausted. Let’s see what RuPaul thinks.

It is time to sashay away, RuPaul. Thank you.

Located in Brooklyn, New York, this six-bedroom and five-and-a-half bathroom house is listed for $25 million.
