BB9: Inside the Big Brother House

After walking along an upper hallway, that evokes a giant library, the Upstairs Lounge is a cozy place to gather with friends on the soft suede sofa. A full-size, authentic handmade canoe hangs from the ceiling behind you! HoH Room The dining room and kitchen furniture are in bright reds and yellows, but it’s the massive, exposed logs on the wall above that gives the place its rustic feel. And high above the dining room table, pine branches add to the woodsy décor. Dining Room The living room boasts a two story high, stone wall, behind a free-standing fireplace. Horizontal logs cover the adjoining wall, and a giant green semi-circular sofa, gives the impression of a 1970’s conversation pit. The mounted deer head on the opposite wall continues the lodge theme. The largest of the bedrooms has been transformed into the Boat Room, with shelves and chests designed to resemble small rowboats…nautical blue walls…and even rowboat shaped beds! Two large beds made of actual unfinished tree branches fill this room. But it’s the pink bedspreads and frilly touches that really give this room its feminine charm. Will be interesting to see what the men think of this room! The most distinctive aspect of the main bathroom is the blanket of autumn leaves covering the floor. These custom made tiles were actually printed using real photos of fallen leaves, and the photo-realistic murals on the walls of the shower add to the outdoorsy feel, and make you feel as if you’re showering in outside camp shower. The swimming pool, and whole sections of the yard, are heated this year. And a cozy outdoor fire pit makes a great centerpiece for backyard gatherings, complete with a spectacular 40 foot wide, lake view. A brand new feature to the house this year, the Spa comes complete with a massage table, two-person sauna and lounge of its own, for heating up sore muscles after a big competition, relaxing with friends, or plotting your next strategic move.
