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.

Now let's see, 'When You Can't See God's Hand, Trust –––" WHA AAAAAHH! HOLY FUCK MY LEG!"

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.

lol the harp photo

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."

- "Sorry! I can't hear you! I'm in the kitchen!"

- "I can't see very well in here. Does that say 'Haunted'?"

- "No, of course not. That would be silly. It says 'Wanted'."

"Well let me ask you something else: Are you a fan of Duke basketball? How about Israel?"

Hmm. Maybe there's good reason why it's the loneliest number.

"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

Sometimes I'll click on a listing even though I know it's only going to depress me in the end.

For example, the sign hanging in the upper left corner.

Are we really going to blame the kids for all of the luggage, the sombreros, the knicknacks above the window...

...the sectional couch in front of the fireplace, the bottle of Coke, the jar of Vasaline.

"If you want breakfast in bed tomorrow, sleep in the kitchen tonight"?

But why sleep in the kitchen when

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

And yes, there is another refrigerator on the other side of that doorway.

Honestly, I kinda respect the chaos there

Those darn kids.

Bed in front of the fridge kind of my fantasy

It’s bad all the way through but nothing will prepare you for the final reveal, I gasped lol https://t.co/OTCe00jyFF

Putting this here to make space between koogs' post and my post below.

BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS when you start promoting hospital rooms with sinks, hotel rooms with hot tubs, water getting sprayed everywhere where people sleep. WHY NOT just put a shitter by the door? Don't like it? Then buy a 33m x 3m apartment with an OUTHOUSE.

i like the idea of those narrow houses - the ex-narrowest house in the uk is 5 minutes from here - but literally 1/4 of it is stairs and the ends of each floor are dead ends.

https://www.boredpanda.com/smallest-narrowest-house-london/

(look carefully and the thing in the shop-window at the front is a matisse-style bowler-hat lampshade. they often have lego models in there)

that third-floor bed looks wider than the diagram suggests it is - 1.88m

You gotta have on/off switches on your electric outlets / power points, but THIS is ok?

https://i.imgur.com/a7sOwZg.jpg

i'd prefer a toilet to a death pit personally

you're saying those are 2 different things?

You may want to contact a plumber

Took me a second before I realized that this wasn't an M.C. Escher home.

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

i respect it

No doubt built in a place with lots of "freedom"

it's the kind of thing a guy does when he doesn't have any.

of course it's over a dead-ass yard. i feel like i need to see the view in order know if there is any justification at all for it.

I was implying freedom from building codes. I could easily be wrong, but that thing looks crazy with no joists!

that looks like one of those souped up frat houses I visited in the south.

somebody will/has/is currently in the process of dying there

Each new slide revealed in the gallery just messed with my head even more.

Like, I know there's a damn good reason why the top picture frame appears to be hung above the mirror but is still reflected inside of it...

https://i.imgur.com/nCp9SRi.png

... but after touring the rest of the house, I'm not sure of anything anymore.

not sure i catch your drift plains, looks pretty comfortable for an ice queen lair

It's poorly arranged furniture, more than anything. That, and the step-up kitchen.

I imagine giants would play horseshoes with our L couches

pplains those first three photos sent me into a conniption of laughter, many thanks

I felt so sorry for that fireplace. Would rather look at a holding beam than a nice warm fire.

second bay window fireplace

facing the real fireplace. Start them both, see which one will burn longer. Put a desk in the middle, pretend you are Letterman.

I definitely had full on Confused Nick Young face by the third photo.

true stroke of luck that Outdoor Living was not touched by the fire

no but see there's residual fire so if you put, say, a tent out there, it will immediate catch flames

1. need to cover this area with metal panels so i can hang my metal panel
2. sinkhole bathtub with cabinets just begging to cut you open
3. kitchen sink faucets
4. a metric mile of cabinets
5. lines like pick up sticks

'metric mile' lol, i meant a standard kilometer

I might have to see that one in person

Seriously, is that hole for washing sand off your feet?

I thought the right mirror was some sort of curved magnifying — well, it makes no sense what I thought it was. But it does do a nice job illustrating how the paint on the wall accurately matches the sky.

"Metric Mile" is genius, btw.
