L@@K! Photos from Real Estate Listings (see remarks)

the whole curtain situation is extremely DIY - flimsy curtain rod FIXED TO THE MOULDING argh. wrong length because it was just taken out of the package and put up. (if they'd actually fixed the rod where it ought to go it would be exactly the right height!)

i'm imagining the conversation that led to that curtain going up. the swearing involved.

you can see they've pushed the curtain a bit over next to the window to keep it clear of the vent.. i wonder how many times a week they have to do that

- what is so bad out the window that it was preferable to have the janky curtain closed for the photo?

I don't know, but please allow me to vent just one more time:

What's the symbolism of yellow roses on freshly vaccuumed w2w carpeting?

I don't know but those vacuuming patterns, it's like they're mowing the outfield at Wrigley

You can see Bob hiding behind the chair

They should do nutshell study photoshopped crime scene composites with these creepy real estate pics.

i will rep wall to wall carpeting 4 lyfe

O do you now, crüt.

i've lived in some weird w2w apartments

And Yerac's OTM about Nutshell scenes. Same would work for those cutout crime scene pix from Helter Skelter.

i would sit on those carpeted stairs, maybe sprawl out a little. v inviting

That's an air return vent to the right of the "stairs"*. Bet there's dust still there from 1991.

* When do "steps" turn into "stairs"?

@5

they're just dinky old steps if they're bare but if you put carpeting on them they become a complete staircase

the lighting is very Twin Peaksian
p sure bob is behind that curtain

I like how if you trip and fall on the carpeted steps the brick planters are there to soften your landing

Remember that Jeff Foxworthy joke about "If your NEW TV sits on top of your OLD TV...."?

the horror

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.

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:

Anyone need an album cover?

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 ashtrays!!!!!

Excellent find BG!

That's giving me severe anxiety.
