I know what you're thinking: House like this is going to look like a steak house on the inside, right?

You would be absolutely correct.

Nothing puts me more in my comfort zone than sitting on this folding chair, working at my awkward desk, breathing in fumes from the clothes dyer on a crisp winter's night.

I should post some from my area. The latest in Russian tryhard decor.

Please do. This is an Open House.

Who puts slogans on their wall like that? It looks like a nursing home.

Also, I love this shit so much. Gotta go find some corkers.

when we were househunting we looked at a place that was just like that converted garage, it was like there had been a terrible murder & they had just done a fly by night carpet/paint job.

oh and: no acoustics. completely dead sound. creeeeeeeepy as fuck.

There were a lot more fish in that barrel than I imagined last night when I started clicking around the local realtors map.

After a long day at the office, I like to kick off my flip flops, snuggle up under a sleeping bag in my favorite lawn chair, and listen to a CD."

Whoops. Don't forget to turn on the spotlights.

It's hard to reach the light switch when the earth is tilting like that.

I don't know if this goes here or on the your terrible ideas thread.

But browsing through the Memphis listings, decided there really should be an Eggleston Realty Co.

House painters and interior design mags convince people to do all kinds of stupid shit, often because it costs more and/or will seem tired in a few years. Painters convinced us to do a stupid-looking two-tone thing in our eat-in kitchen that I really regret. Walls really don't need to be two colors.

Horror House II: the Stalking Sink.

The place in that pic costs $200 a week people. Melbourne is an expensive hell.

What is that room? And down here, what's going on with the mirrored top in front of the mirror with the ... air hockey puck on it?

http://i.imgur.com/72Mf62F.jpg

Anyway. Melbourne might be expensive, but blue paint sure ain't.

Ha, right? I think thats just a living room, with a laundry off it because that makes sense? Actually, tbf the ad was for a bungalow behind a house, so its probably only 2 rooms all told.

Now thats how you sell a bedroom ... ? :|

They'll give you 15, but you'll only need five!

Ugh I fucking hate how narrow OFI windows are. And at such useless times, too, who has time to get off work and make to an opening at 5 if they work til 5.

I miss the days when you could just walk into an agents, pick up the keys for a bunch of properties and leave a fiddy for each one in deposit.

I've tried to understand what's going on with Australian real estate, but it's hopeless.

For example, in the States, you hold an auction only if it's a foreclosure or it's a shitty property that no one wants. Apparently down there, it's the opposite - you take the photos and show your home, then wait for the big auction day where you'll likely get more than you asked for.

(Well, in Sydney, at least.)

Yeah sale by auction is something that crept in maybe 15-20 years back and seems ubiquitous now. And its precisely so they can make as much money as possible (a la ebay auctions I guess). I've been priced completely out of home ownership because I need $80k just for the *downpayment* and I just cannot get that sort of money together. Its insane.

yes they listed with swastika graffiti intact http://www.movoto.com/quilcene-wa/411-sea-home-rd-quilcene-wa-98376-501_320196/

Geez.

I was thinking thats a lot of money for a shitshack but its on 7 acres of waterfront, that'd go for like 3 jillion here :(

"Yah, you can look at it that way, but didja know that in some cultures, it's a symbol of luck?"

its a banksy

I feel IA at the shape of the living room in this luxury condo in my neighborhood that also sells for nearly 3x the price of a nearly equivalent co-op apartment.

You don't like that it ends at a point?

Look! You get that nifty little reading nook because of it. If it was flat, the nook would directly face the rest of the room.

IDK why it annoys me so much, partly just because it's so narrow compared to typical apartments in my neighborhood, which are mostly very spacious due to having been built in the 40s/50s. The point is awkward to me though, like it doesn't really look comfy as a nook, but it also doesn't interact with the rest of the room.

but it also doesn't interact with the rest of the room.

http://i.imgur.com/MobN7iy.jpg

Could that be the point?

http://i.imgur.com/btS0Gny.jpg

It does look narrow, but hey, isn't that life in the big city?

http://i.imgur.com/IZM4caY.jpg

"Can I get you anything? Perhaps some Pringles?"

xp, IDK it just looks like an awkward layout resulting from an awkwardly shaped building resulting from an effort to put the maximum # of apartments on an awkwardly shaped lot to me. And it's absurdly expensive for the area, although the terrace has a "bar pergola."

"Pressure-washer gathering dust? Have we got the house for you!"

That one hits a little too close to home.

As in, that is my home - how did you find it.

None of it made any sense to me until I saw the shot from the alley and then i could at least see why it was angled the way it is.

30 years of collected illness is a little on the nose

lol at 30 yrs of collected illness

the precious moments mansion is just an incredible monument to narcissism, there's so much of it but it's really amazing how banal it all is.

There are some rooms in it that were so close to being nice, but they went all corporate retreat center instead

also what's with the stage lighting, do they film a lot there?

what gets me is that despite how big, fancy, and staged things are inside, the outside of the house looks like an abandoned retailer that was shuttered a few years ago

You know, hiring Lestat Photography not a bad choice for real estate photos.

Not gonna lie, my boyhood home has one of those carpeted bedrooms with a brick wall on the inside. Happened after we enclosed the carport to make a fourth bedroom.

Room also had a window between it and the kitchen. It's still for sale, btw.

but did it have shelves over the window and a curtain-pattern wallpaper border?

Well no.

Brick on one side, paneling on the other.

my friend from high school who makes way too much money bought a mcmansion with a double island like that, but his doesn't have floating diner stools so now i feel like i can clown him forever

My legs haven't stopped rocking back and forth between 10 o'clock and two o'clock since I posted that.

i don't understand ... is this a tech dorm?

actually it would totally amazing if this house were to be owned by someone who did doggy day care or pet boarding and all those chairs were occupied by dogs.

I think it's someone who got yelled at "FOUR ON THE FLOOR!" too many times as a kid.

(Which will be my kid one day, but look, you should see the scuff marks...)

i told the girls the realtor was coming to take pictures but they just wouldn't leave! they love the camera i guess ;)

oh my god i lost it so loud when the mannequins show up. you gotta keep clicking......

forks otm

lol harbl

oh that is what harbl's comment is joking about hehehehehe 😬

omg that's great, first half it's just like "jesus maybe pick up a little before you take the photos intended to sell the house" and then all of a sudden it's the invasion of the mannequin women

The ambitious multiple-bed-frames-as-gaudy-fireplace-screen caught my attention.

Also I feel like these houses in this thread have distinct "house smells". Not necessarily horrifying smells or anything. Just... overt.

Many of these would make great set pieces for music videos too.

this picture is just like ... uh oh someone is losing their marbles!!
