I know you said he doesn't like animals, but this French Woodours Bear has a fish that retracts as it plays a sweet song. Very entertaining and interesting to baby. http://www.amazon.com/Woodours-Musical-Lullaby-Fishing-Bear/dp/B002DOXY6I/ref=pd_sim_ba_3

i think they should have framed a section of the old wallpaper and hung it between the mirrors or over the towel rack

Hello? Maybe you missed that this was the painter Arshile Gorky's house... Check out the full slideshow at nyt.
The vaulted ceilings and glass aren't recent to the structure. Trajically, he hung himself from those exact rafters. It's actually nice to see that someone is making a beautiful life there.

There is a special kind of black dye called Bio-Black for water gardens and reflecting ponds like these, which I am sure they are using, hence the darkness of the water. It prevents specific light rays from entering the water, so bacteria/ algae can't grow, but the waterlilies still can. They also probably use "mosuito dunk" which safely kills mosquito larvae in water, and is otherwise nontoxic to birds and animals. Learned all about this at Longwood Gardens Water Lily Garden recently.
