It's gorgeous, but I want to know:

Who is this person who has a big, airy house overlooking the sea, with an intricate Persian carpet on the floor, a Vermeer over the fireplace, and a baby grand piano he's keeping next to an open door looking out onto the ocean and its salt spray?

/\ Some dipshit who doesn't seem to know enough to have window coverings to protect the carpet and the painting from sun damage, apparently.

Or, they're cheap knockoffs.

^ the windows on a house like that would have UV film on the outside.
