It’s compelling viewing and not just because most of the real estate has their own personal hammam-style spa. They’re such a lovely family, it’s a heart-warming show. My mother was an avid wallpaperer and no painted wall was safe from her attentions. She’d have her glue brush out in no time, happily pasting up some giant repeat pattern onto it.
