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

here is the whole listing https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/9-Deep-Run-Ct-Cockeysville-MD-21030/36395466_zpid/
incredibly ugly exterior. looks like a hospital. i checked and yes it is owned by a doctor. a urologist!

A urologist, you say? In Cockeysville?

lol

The whole vibe makes it feel more ideal as a dormitory for influencers instead of a comfortable home. Also, is that a didgeridoo I see?

(slide 12)

Seriously thought it was a clinic lobby too at first.

Got a weirdly shaped co ch! The only missing is ... !

Why, you could probably piss all over this room and not a ruin a thing.

When you can't help but take your work home with you.

I love the office phone in every room.

xxp That's definitely the orgy room.

Long circle couch reminds me of '70s conversation pits, which I love. Needs more colour, though.

Wait, there are steps down. It *is* a conversation pit. Yessss.

You guys spotted the wipe-clean orgy room, but you missed the sex swing.

I love conversation pits too, but it could be deeper, for deeper conversations.

This isn't really a house house, more like an AirB&B type deal.

But that said, WHY WOULD YOU HANG THAT PHOTOGRAPH inside one of the bedrooms?

https://i.imgur.com/qK8xpZR.png

what am i looking at?

https://i.imgur.com/SH60Tw5.jpg

lol tyvm

ok that's funny i couldn't see the photo, i had wanted to post a series of pictures "for laffs" and that was one of them! another was the "putin kissed boy 'like a kitten'" photo

Never forget.

this twitter account reminded me of this thread

https://twitter.com/SellingAMirror

House I grew up in had a conversation pit. I liked how it looked, along with the inference that social interaction is crucial enough to warrant a dedicated room in a small house. But I couldn't sit in there without worrying that someone from the raised area surrounding it would step back and accidentally fall in. The top of the couch seatbacks weren't much higher than the floor, and if you put a railing or kneewall up to prevent inward falls it spoils the effect.

Starts off as just annoyingly "whimsical" but proceeds to wtf around photo 12/13

i like this! i mean i'm not capable of making my house like this but i'd live here.

oh wow. I've often wondered what I'd find on some of those roads that dead end at Elings, and this does not disappoint. looks like jimmy j art extruded into 3D space.

Harbl how could you even be in that bathroom? I would have a seizure I think.

it's really beautiful tile work... craftsmanship (and lots of beautiful tile for that matter) feels wasted on the whimsy of what they're going for

The bathroom is like being in an aquarium with fish and sea otters.

???

it is like that only because the sea otters would die in an aquarium, and this sight could make one vomit.

an old ass bungalow for 1 mil, only in california

i prefer an old ass bungalow to the not-as-old-ass textured stucco exterior of most california homes

my house is only about 40 sq ft larger and was......let's say far less expensive than this

this is santa barbara. the land is worth 1m.

- "Is there anything wrong?"

- "No, I just... When the ad said 3 Baths, I assumed they were all in different rooms."

"Hey sis, can you ask mom to pass down another square please?"

Looks like it takes up a substantial portion of the house, too!

eh, it was probably an infant daycare. our kids go to a regular house where the bathroom has like six toilets.

That's not a regular house.

Surprised Goldilocks ever left that place.

my working theory was that there were three kids and nobody used the bathroom at the same time, but the parents wanted them each to have a separate "station" due to some misguided hygienic obsession.

My maternal great grandmother toilet trained her kids by tying them to a toilet whether they needed to poop or not

awkward walking around for a year or two tied to a toilet, but i bet that worked.

yeah i think DC is right. they don't poop together! this is so their bottoms don't have to touch the same toilet someone else's bottom has touched!!!

Oldest house on Hawthorne Ave. Built by Fowle family and used at one point as a girl scout camp.

That's it for me! Goodnight everyone!
