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.

i am truley sorry for your lots

Picture in picture taken to extremes

I'm overly cynical about many things, but I do admit to sometimes getting charmed by a real estate agent's perverse sense of optimism.

Yeah, yeah. Let me know when I can sink my sweat equity into some paneled walls.

place looks dope imo

Still has its antenna, I'll give you that.

I get the same reaction from this being described as FRESH OUT OF A TIME MACHINE as I do when I see an '87 Tercel with antique car tags.

yeah I kinda like this house tbqh

looks like the right kind of place for a couple of dogs and about a thousand books. would redo the kitchen but that's a given w pretty much anywhere.

Thought y'all were trolling me until I found the pictures taken before the big move-out:

wow. unintentional Kubrick stills.

that off-centre picture frame would have driven me INSANE

My in-laws mounted a TV on their wall flush left. Like this:

damn I thought that would look better. You get it.

I would buy that place in a heartbeat

wow. unintentional Kubrick stills.

I hate the fireplace between the two glass doors but rip out the carpeting and put in something non-carpet and I'll buy it.

the kitchen is bigger than my apartment. so yeah, i am gazing with envy at this janky house

You all gotta quit dreaming so large. I mean, this place would set you back $115,000, if you were serious about it.

I will srsly go in on this house with other ilxors, but only if we can get it with all of the original furniture and stuff.

I'm in

the ‘lol nothing matters’ school of interior design

Excellent find BG!

That's giving me severe anxiety.

Oh boy. I need to see another angle on those stairs, is there a door just out of shot or is that in fact the main upstairs access point? The possibilities are incredible.

It looks fun in a designed-by-madmen sort of way, but I imagine the novelty of almost dying every time you took a bath would get old real quick.

what's the little door near the floor for??

Y'all know what they say: Shit rolls downstairs.

what is happening w the bathrooms of america

I can see this, sometimes you get winded halfway up the stairs, so you gotta rest, if you gotta rest, you might wanna sit down, if you're already sitting down....?

oh my

what's the little door near the floor for??

that kitchen in that thread with all the appliances together by the weird corner sink, I can literally feel all the doors hitting my knees and shins.

The main bedroom in the apartment I live in right now is a little odd. The shower and bathtub is completely open to the bedroom (which I actually like) and the toilet has no door and is just around a little wall and it faces the closet. You can play peekaboo when someone is using the toilet.

There's room in the shower for a hot plate, missed opportunity.

Welcome to my (bath)room

Every object in that room just “is.” Here’s a rug. Here’s a shower enclosure. Here are some coat hangers. Here is light bulb.
