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

I am really starting to hate grey, esp grey floors
https://photos.zillowstatic.com/p_f/ISfkkt4ft62sbn1000000000.jpg

gray floors and walls with white shaker cabs and subway tile backsplash, never seen that combo before...

with those showers.... how does water not just get all over the place

That forced perspective giving me Malkovich vibes.

Oh that reminds me, I saw IRL two empty Adirondack chairs gazing out wistfully over a river. I want to go back and snap a photo. Owner was outside at the time so it would have seemed weird.

what on earth is that x-tra tall garage door for, is twitter user marco_c11 an independent trucker? Can you not just park your cab outside?

An RV, maybe?

oh god that is like the child of mcmansionhell and barndominium

i think my barndominium period has radicalized me. now i watch vegan communist channels instead of barndominiums.

Lots of parking space!

The last few weeks of posts here have given me a nosebleed.

oh my god

that pretty much sums up though what I assume most of Texas is like

hahahahahahahahahaha

it looks like it would be very good at roasting fans alive

the ballpark at arlington was really nice i thought! wtf was wrong with it??

nothing but it was outdoors in arlington, tx and some people didn't like that

and since the Rangers aren’t paying for it anyway...

there's no way they aren't cooling that place to 62°F all summer long with an ATHSCME-type A/C.

There was a sale on siding that was too good to pass up

Sixty percent of Arlington voters across 132 out of 137 precincts approved that thing.

Jobs, baby!

Even if a little staircase pulled out of the cabinet, it would still be the dumbest idea ever.

Something ain't right with that place. I mean, you're not really supposed to put a TV so close to a stovepipe like that, right?

what the hell

i took a bath in my big sink and brushed my teeth in my little sink

Wait, is that a full-sized bathtub?

There's a weird kind of distorted perspective effect going on.

maybe the sink is just really low

you guys have clearly never been to a "Cottage By The Sea"... oh you have? Uhhh me too... yeah no that's a weird spot for a tub.

reminds of the soaking-style ofuro you see in the dormier residences in denser Japan, also very awkward to get in.

https://i.imgur.com/isZz6jq.jpg

that looks kinda fun but also looks like a chest freezer

At least I feel like I could STEP INTO IT.

There's gotta be something we're missing from the other one.

take dog for walk

dog get muddy

bring dog to Big Sink window

open window, wash dog

trudge around to mud room, disrobe, proceed through house with towels and open bathroom door to dry dog before releasing dog into domicile

That’s literally every abandoned home though. I think there’s a mandate that any dwelling that is left unoccupied for more than 100 days must be visited by teenagers with lol satan ideas and cans of spray paint
