house design unveiled!


The new entrance way, which executive producer Allison Grodner says captures this season’s "whimsical" style

Mirror, mirror on the wall: Instead of last year's fire-and-ice theme, this season's house has a 'fractured fairy tale' quality.

The two-level house has had an extreme makeover with bright new colors and a lot of optical illusions.

Pots and teakettles line the kitchen cabinets, and even the wall decorated with houseguests’ pictures got a pretty purple makeover.

The walkway to the coveted Head of Household room is a funky-looking 'enchanted' forest.

This comfy couch will come in handy for a game of chess or to make a strategic plan to win that half-million-dollar prize.

A look at the bedroom doorways, which are a nod to Alice in Wonderland. Grodner says, 'We've got a bedroom where you feel very big and a bedroom where you feel very small!'

Claustrophobia alert! This two-sizes-too-small room has five beds that are only 5 feet long and is filled with low-to-the-ground child-size chairs 'Essentially [they'll be] living in a dollhouse,' says Grodner.

A peek into this oversized room with enormous, shoulder-height beds. 'To get to the top drawer of the dresser you have to climb up steps,' explains Grodner.

The lavish blue bathroom could become the cool new hangout, if the houseguests can ignore the lion-shaped water spouts in the shower.

Like Alice in Wonderland's tea party, this season's house has a giant spinning teacup, and perhaps as a nod to Alice's sequel Through the Looking Glass, there's a big outdoor chessboard. Hmm, maybe that explains all those mirrors in the house, too....

The front and backyards have some gorgeous topiaries and flowers, which Grodner compares to 'an English garden meets Edward Scissorhands.'

The backyard has the same basic layout, with a hot tub, pool, hammock and exercise equipment to keep the houseguests happy. We can't wait for the July 5 premiere to see what the house looks like with people in it!
