Instead of selling it, the Winehouse family should use it as a museum type thing. They should move her furniture back in and set it up the way she had it. They could move in a few of her awards, dresses, and other memorbilia. The admission they charge could benefit the foundation. Similiar things have been done with other celebrity/notable houses. Patsy Cline, Elvis, etc.

[quote name='Mr Hathaway']I'd hoped that they might turn it into a some sort of tourist attraction, a museum I guess, in dedication to her (though this might be a bit unrealistic). QUOTE]

Great minds think alike! LOL
You took my heart and played the part of little coquette. All my dreams disappeared like the smoke from a cigarette.

The house is absolutely beautiful. So sad to know that it will be no more a place to fans pay their respects to Amy and all.
Anyway, I guess it'll take some time to be sold. It's not that cheap, in the end.

I LOVE the master bathroom! Gorgeous. This made me very sad though.

That's a good point, though, there will be nowhere for fans to pay their respects once the house is sold. Amy doesn't have a gravestone, or a memorial of some kind (that I'm aware of), and that is very very sad :(

Since her passing, I've always thought that I'd like to lay some flowers for her when I decide to jump the pond, and now there would be no place to do that.

There have been talks of a statue being placed in Camden, however, I have not heard much about it recently. Now this statue is more greatly needed, since going to her home won't exactly work as a tribute location. I really hope they end up placing a statue in Camden so fans can place their tributes there.

That would be amazing. As long as it was tasteful and really looked like and captured Amy. I plan on visiting London (I'd love to move there, but I'm poor), so I'd like for there to be somewhere I can pay tribute to her.

I'd love to live there as well. I've always wanted to live there, honestly. When I'm older, I may move there!
Yeah, a statue of some sort would definitely be beneficial for many reasons.

That's messed up, whatever happened to the foundation then? Are they going to sell and give out ALL of her belongings, seriously... not even a year passed.

edit: Here's the article: http://www.thesun.co...p-for-sale.html
Mitch, who bought the house with Amy for £1.8million in April 2010, confirmed it was on the market, but would not comment further.

It's a beautiful, beautiful house. It's even more beautiful than I expected. I absolutely adore it! I can feel her everywhere in every room. I can picture her working out in the gym, cooking her friends favorite meals in the kitchen. It's so sad to see it - yet so beautiful. I wish I had 2M to spend freely - I know where it'd go!

Seeing those pictures and the tour made me cry so hard. Horrible seeing it all empty as I am sure she had it full of all her own little touches. The leopard print bits are very 'Amy' though.
I love you in a place where there's no space or time...Forever you will be a true friend of mine:)

We should raise money and buy it, before some other person buys it and completely renovates it!

The master bedroom and bathroom really got to me..


Same here. I can't really look at the pictures in the same way as I look at other houses, I enjoy architecture and looking at the structure of houses, but looking at Amy's is too hard. I can't look at it in the objective way. And believe me, I've seen quite a lot of pictures and floor plans, especially because I tend to recreate houses for the Sims 3. Looking at the pics gives me such a weird vibe. I didn't cry over it yet but I feel this very strange feeling on my chest.

There have been talks of a statue being placed in Camden, however, I have not heard much about it recently. Now this statue is more greatly needed, since going to her home won't exactly work as a tribute location. I really hope they end up placing a statue in Camden so fans can place their tributes there.


Now that soon there'll be nothing to remind us of Amy - the house will be sold in the end, it might be renovated, well, even if it looks the same 20 years from now on it won't be the same because the vibe will slowly disappear, I think that a statue might be the only thing people could go to and remember her. We will never be able to step in the front gates, feel what the house felt like. It'll be someone else's soon.

I have to add though that I'd have no special bond with a statue, as it wouldn't be Amy's. She isn't there, she has not crafted it or posed for it. It'll be a second Madame Tussauds. I believe I wouldn't even be able to lay flowers or leave a note for her there. I feel like her vibe is more present right here in my room, the place where I have listened to her albums from the day I got to know about her. The only place I'd feel at home would have been at one of the houses she has lived in. I'd love to sit in the living room for a moment, just to gaze through the window and think about all the love I have felt, and still feel for her. But it'll never be, and it breaks my heart.

You gotta be kidding me! I don't know why, but it feels really wrong. I also thought about going to London in the next few YEARS and put flowers or a letter there, but now I can't anymore? That is really sad...

It may be a good idea if someone can save all the pics of her house and put them on amy pics thread to keep forever. The 360 view of Amys old home has dissapeared, we dont want to lose these images either.

I am doing that right now.

+ I have also stored them in a public Photobucket album: http://s155.photobuc...nehouses House/
