Now, realtors who only post one pictures (argh!) or even worse, NO PICTURES (double argh!) totally ruin my funtimes. Bad pictures also aren't a lot of fun, and there are a lot of bad realtor photos floating around real estate listing sites. However, sometimes you look at pictures and think, wow, it would've been so much better if you'd never ventured forth with your camera. Today we will look at one of those houses.
Tragically, this house is located not to far from where we live. The outside looks like an older, cute little blue cottage. But then the inside. Oh, god, the inside.
Something about the bright, happy picture hung on paneled walls painted black amuses me. I'm not against dark colors...but wow.
Props to the perfectly straight painted ceiling stripes (that's the kind of project that would drive me insane. Sadly, though, they really point out the terrifying lumpiness of the ceiling. Also, lets take a moment to ponder the amazingness that are vintage pine kitchen cabinets. These babies are indestructible. Ours are over fifty years old and are good shape. These cabinets are the only part of this house that doesn't make me want to run away screaming.
Do you know I've never considered the window next to a baby's crib as the absolute perfect place to store a rifle? I guess I just don't put enough thought into creative firearm/nursery storage! I can't decide what I find more horrifying. That someone feels like a nursery is a perfectly appropriate place to store firearms, or that no one thought it was a bad idea to take a picture of a gun hanging over a crib and slap it up on MLS.
Let me be real here. There are plenty of days where I lose control of the laundry. I'm not judging that. HOWEVER. Did the realtor just bust in, lock the family in another room (before the baby could grab the conveniently placed firearm) and take pictures against their will? Did the realtor then look at the photos and think yes, these will really get this property sold? (Amusingly, the listing is described as "having a stable rental history." I can't even.) Or did the realtor decide to be real, so that people would know what they were getting into when they asked for a showing?
I know this property got struck off my imaginary property list!
