What words are "beautiful" and why, is, of course, debatable, and as with many other things, YMMV ;)
However, I thought there were some interesting words on this list (many of which we've had here before), so I hope you enjoy:

Slightly strange definition of "bungalow" there. The single-storey nature of the thing is fundamental to it. A small, cosy two-storey house ain't a bungalow. (I'll reluctantly accept dormer windows, but not a full first/second floor.)

Some of the other definitions are also somewhat imprecise :)

Agreed -- while embrocation can be used to describe the act of applying a lotion, more usually it's the lotion itself.
