Admit It, You Want One of Those 'House of David' Statues

And now one can be yours. Sad news from Curbed LA, which reports that "House of Davids" owner Norwood Young is looking to sell off the home's infamous statues in order to finally unload the house. (He's been looking to sell the house since May, but with no takers so far.)

Writes Curbed:

On two weekends in October, Young will sell off the giant Alice in Wonderland-style chairs, the hanging dining room table, the big Michael Jackson glove hand in the dining room, all of the Davids, and possibly even some of the tiny Santa and MJ clothes that the Davids have worn on special occasions (*but that last one isn't definite yet).

Several of the pieces up for sale were specially made from Young's designs, according to what he told us a few months ago. Winter tells us that Young has an amazing wardrobe (hung on electric racks) and that "almost everything" will be up for sale. Young will hold onto some sentimental and valuable pieces.

The sure-to-be-jam-packed estate sale will be held on October 15, 16, 22, and 23. It'll run 9 am to 3 pm on Saturdays and 12 to 4 pm on Sundays. The new brokers are holding also-sure-to-be-jam-packed open houses starting this Sunday.

And get a peek at the House of Davids in its full glory while you still can!

Hollywood's Tacky House of Davids Hits the Market

The House of Davids (also known as Youngwood Court), of course, is legendary for its bad taste. And owner Norwood Young, despised by his neighbors for keeping such gaudiness on public display, appears to revel in its tackiness.

But the golden age of Davids could be drawing to an end. Well, depending on who purchases the house, which Young has put on the market for $2.4 million.

The cool part of all this: The listing finally gives us a peek into the inside of the house. And yes, it's as cheesy as you'd expect. Curbed LA has the details:

There are fake dogs everywhere, the dining room furniture is invisible and hanging from the ceiling, and there are either oversized chairs in the foyer or the foyer is tiny. The house has seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and 19 David replicas on its front lawn. R&B singer Norwood Young has lived, decorated, and pissed off the neighbors on Muirfield Street since the nineties.

Move Over, House of Davids: There's a New Tacky Home Champ

When it comes to taste, there's good, there's bad... and then there's "Youngwood Court."

Also known as the "House of Davids," the Hancock Park home is notorious for its design motif -- namely, that Michelangelo has apparently barfed on the front yard.

Now... has "Youngwood Court" owner Norwood Young brought his design ethos further East? Or was an East Hollywood resident simply inspired to play copycat?

Either way, another home -- found on Virgil -- is flying the cheese flag proudly. A few shots:







Young may have an intellectual property suit on his hands. Can two horrifying homes of this ilk exist in the same city? This is a trend that terrifies me greatly... let's hope other homes follow suit!
