I know what you're thinking: House like this is going to look like a steak house on the inside, right?

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.

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."

the idea of that phone ringing spooks me

I imagine silence, while one sits facing the mater, a clock ticking ominously in the background.

I feel like I can picture who lives in the house I posted above. It's the guy from my freshman college dorm with a blowout who once told one of my friends "I could make three phone calls and have you dead."

Second phone call goes to the guy who sits in the blue chair in mine.

I find these very subtly bad:

"Oh you know, I love music, that's why I keep random components of a drum kit on hand not set up in any playable configuration"

Certainly an obscenely soulless and too-large house.

I love how the attempts at grandeur break down once we reach an actual room - just 8 foot ceilings, Venetian blinds, and an ill-proportioned room struggling to make sense of way way too many windows. Good luck putting anything in there besides miscellaneous objects arranged in order to vaguely suggest a hobby or lifestyle choice.

I'd live there. I could turn it around.

posted it there too :)

another wonderful pplains thread. in the words of loleatta holloway, he gets down to the real nitty gritty.

lol that link. house is kind of amazing all things considered

great place to live if you take shrooms every day

This house was occupied by two brothers for 30 years. The owner was a hoarder and the property has about 10 sheds on it. The price is what it is because of the condition of the house. It is in need of a total rehab of the house and the yard. The bones of this house seem good but is not for the faint of heart. There is a strong urine smell throughout and the inside needs to be stripped out and totally redone to make this into something worthwhile, or just bulldozed and stick a new house on the lot.

Getting some serious Wolfenstein 3D vibes here.

"Welcome, to Ken's Labyrinth"

I... what, with that floorplan. WHAT.

That's a bit of a stroll for your morning pee.

it's the weird shadow shelf of an inefficient and excessively pavilionized gargantuan surface house - so these are the parts a) that weren't built slab-on-grade, and b) which they attempted to make into finished basement spaces and naturally the result bears little resemblance to what you might come up with if you were trying to conceive of an "apartment" from the start. i'd also be shocked if it can be legally rented what with having no windows and all - thing's a gigantic fire trap.

otoh only a 12-minute drive to wal-mart

I'd say 50/50 risk of dying by fire or drowning

graboids also an ever-present risk

Getting some serious Wolfenstein 3D vibes here.

The living room with its *counts silently to self for a few moments* 7 or 8 closets is definitely something from a Scooby Doo cartoon.

http://i.imgur.com/n0ekGIY.jpg

i'd also be shocked if it can be legally rented what with having no windows and all - thing's a gigantic fire trap.

The magic word you said there ma have been "rented," but I am slightly infatuated with underground homes. Hey, they're easy to heat and cool.

Check this one out.

I'm not sure I could use the word "pavilionized" correctly in a sentence.

So you build a 3,000 pound door from rare woods and craft these amazing staircases and then you pick the BEIGE CARPET and THAT SOFA.

haha. total architecture-school or art-historical word. basically what you see in that floorplan, where spaces become their own distinct shapes, like they're budding off of each other for example. a whole hershey bar is a single pavilion but if you break up all the pieces of chocolate - as if each was its own pavilion/gazebo/object - you're looking at some pavilionization there.

totally not satanic at all

great long hallways to run screaming from your captor

loltm

I'm very curious about the floorplan of that woodwork house. Also I wonder if they have time to RenFaire on the weekends and/or where they stockpile the guns.

I did some slight dosing on them once I realized they were from my state.

They own a woodworking shop in the nearest town and have visited the Holy Land multiple times.

I don't know which is worse - the word I was trying to say, "doxxing," or the autocorrected one, "dosing."

Take your pick.

i looked at that listing before the twitter thread and did not notice any of the bizarrely staged items. i did notice the electric range and the huge grill in the kids' bedroom.

lol dunno why but the mirroring-over of a wall that has a fireplace in it seems the most bizarre thing about all of that

shower off of the deck isn't CRAZY if it's a really secluded location, y'know, gaze out at the trees during the morning rinse, breath deep and think pleasant thoughts. or i guess if you go hiking a lot from there and want a convenient spot to rinse or w/e. the toilet on the other hand is totally unacceptable.

THe door past the shower is at the top of the stairs in the pic below. I dunno, still seems weird to me to have such a semi-exterior door RIGHT THERE next to the stall.

https://i.imgur.com/DpX8rnu.jpg

yeah that's pretty weird with the 'public' feeling deck right there. i might just be associating it with beach houses where it's nice to have a 'sand shower' on your way in, but ime that can and should be an entirely outdoor fixture on the deck itself.

Boy, there's just something about this one... seems so familiar....

no the flooring is rad

X-post Man,that lil'green house from a year or so back, was/is so cool it hurts. I'm also surprised by how relatively affordable some of these are. But really that green one with the privacy glass and with all of that decor intact, would just be....WOW! I really love it. I am in love with that house.

a lot of these pictures could be combined into one lavish palace with an organ room, a harp room, the green bathroom, the red bathroom, etc

I feel like I'm missing what the wtf is here lol

Toilet paper.

said brownie.

;)

OH. Ew.

it also appears to be connected to 2 different bedrooms which is a cursed layout

otm

I'm also not sure what's getting plugged into that power outlet above the toilet

that's a light switch, but it's not impossible that it actually operates the porch light

xp maybe they usually use an electric toothbrush instead of toilet paper

disposable loofahs, stored in the closest bath

why is there a shower/bathtub, AND a bathtub?

this bathroom is of the devil

it's the same one there's just 2 doors

The sink is across from the toilet.

lol sic prob otm

xxpost oh lol doh

The shampoo rack appears to be the same size in both photos, even though the reflected image is twice the distance away from the viewer than the original shot. Yet they appear the same size.

I don't know if I'm making sense, but neither does this bathroom.

"Historical Texans burial plot in front yard."

my god

A historical Texans burial plot is one of those must-have features

Technically if the Texans buried in the front yard of this house aren't historical that means they would be scrabbling inside their coffins to get out which I can imagine could be off-putting at night

Long as they're Texans.

I'm totally into this woman's demented obsession, except for that weird mid-floor fold-out kitchen unit.

What this thread tells me is that Australians spend a lot more money on staging their homes as generic white boxes with awful art that people in other real estate state markets.

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

That isn't one of those "Oh! Haha" kinda pics that I spend too much time looking for online. And yet, it's stayed on my mind for the past 12 hours, since I saw it last night.

1.) The wall-to-wall carpeting.

2.) The vent near the middle of the sliding-glass door. Why?

3.) Note that I said near the middle. Another mark against this.

4.) Curtains in front of a sliding-glass door. Kinda feel it's gotta be vertical pleated blinds or nothing else, including the door.

5.) The space at the top between the curtains and the rod vs the extra slack drooped on the wall-to-wall carpeting.

6.) Each table has part of it folded over to the side. The chairs have minimal arm rests.

7.) The space at the top between the curtains and the rod vs. the space between the rod and what are literally rafters.

8.) The vacuum grooves in the wall-to-wall carpeting that imply that the frilly chair scoots around on its own.

9.) The rug on the wall-to-wall carpeting.

10.) And what's not shown in this photo: What on earth little elevated walkway is happening up here? See that plant on the right? Does it meet each wall and keep forming right angles?

2.) The vent near the middle of the sliding-glass door. Why?

This may have been a thing in the '70s. My first house as a kid had a vent right next to our upstairs porch door. Many mornings I spent camped out over that heat source with the cold winter glass behind my back.

wall-to-wall carpeting pretty normal in many parts of the world

W2WC is indeed everywhere.

I guess it's weird not to see a little tile in front of the door, an engawa to separate the deck from the rest of the house.

Goes along with no tile, but a vent. Lots of condensation on that window, I'd bet.

Curtains must flutter like a ghost.

the vent is to reduce the condensation by keeping the glass warm, so moist interior air doesn't bang into an ice-cold pane of glass and release moisture. (that is not an excuse for lousy design obv)

I'm seeing the reverse of that: ice-cold dry air blowing against a pane of glass with murky warm muggy conditions on the other side of it.

who puts a cold-air vent in the floor tho

The perspective of that photo makes it look like a dollhouse.

Yes! I don't know if it's just because we have a loft conversion with a pitched ceiling where the walls are literally half that height, but I spent a minute staring at it thinking "why is there a strange half-height window flush with the floor? And why are those chairs so tiny..."

It's very dollhouse looking furniture too.

The perspective definitely isn't helping matters.

who puts a cold-air vent in the floor tho

1.) Welcome to the American South.

2.) You can't have a vent dangling from the pitched ceiling rafters.

ok, i admit i can no longer remember where the vents where when i lived in the south, and actually the only ones i can specifically picture were in the floors.

Makes no sense though. That cold air isn't going to rise.

Those vents in the floor are so prevalent I can feel it on my feet as I walk on it.

My parents had huge rugs over wall to wall carpeting. I think they thought it was saving the carpeting from wear.

This room is the one adjacent to 237

Used to work with an energy efficiency expert who hosted his own Saturday morning talk show. "Where's the hottest part of the house in the summer? THE ATTIC! Where does every contractor want to put your air conditioning? IN THE ATTIC!"

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:

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

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.

That's giving me severe anxiety.

Oh boy. I need to see another angle on those stairs, is there a door just out of shot or is that in fact the main upstairs access point? The possibilities are incredible.

It looks fun in a designed-by-madmen sort of way, but I imagine the novelty of almost dying every time you took a bath would get old real quick.

that kitchen in that thread with all the appliances together by the weird corner sink, I can literally feel all the doors hitting my knees and shins.

The main bedroom in the apartment I live in right now is a little odd. The shower and bathtub is completely open to the bedroom (which I actually like) and the toilet has no door and is just around a little wall and it faces the closet. You can play peekaboo when someone is using the toilet.

I'm not going to overthink this, but why would you keep paper towels in your bathroom?

I'm not even going to mention the little step the counter takes to get down to the sink.

drying hands after washing them

I've never seen that in a residential bathroom. Not even in college.

me neither

My in-laws have a disposable paper towel dispenser in their bathroom that is different from kitchen paper towel rolls, it's more like a tissue box. but same idea. I guess people worry about passing germs via regular old handtowels? Or they think guests will worry about that? The wastefulness of it makes me crazy but tbf they do also have regular towels in there.

Also the lights above that mirror are a rush of nostalgia to my childhood bathroom, esp the fact that half of them are burnt out

^

the paper towels are just gonna absorb all the aerosolized poop the first time someone forgets to put the lid down before flushing

Regular TP just doesn’t cut it for some folks

I'm not sure I'd ever be satisfied with just a 2/3 scale replica of the Oval Office. If you're gonna do it

Nice find, jmm. I was thinking it was a possible Gospel producer, based only on the light blue walls and fluorescent lights in the panel ceiling.

That desk in the Oval Office made me wonder if Mayor Pete would be the first to bring a standup desk in there.

I thought it was one of those facade houses you see on a movie set, until I saw the actual listing.

I mean, don't sneeze too hard around that thing.

I do gotta say this house was made for those awful wide-angle shots they use in the listings.

teaching "pole fitness" classes

i watched a bunch of youtube videos of a guy exploring vacant farmhouses because i watch whatever the algorithm recommends to me. then youtube suggested i would like to see videos of the "barndominium" phenomenon. oh boy. have you ever wanted to live in a 10,000 square foot house that looked like a plumbing supply store on the outside, but a bass pro shop on the inside, and was decorated by a pinterest mom? i can help.

I thought "barndominium" meant a barn conversion, but no they are LITERAL POLE BARNS. So yeah...no. Wow. Plumbing supply warehouse otm.

lol

I still don't get it. Is it a play on words of "condominium" or "pandemonium"?

definitely pandemonium, from the echo you could get going when you yell DINNER'S READY to all 11 of your kids who are located up to 500 yards away somewhere in your cavernous steel home

I thought "barndominium" meant a barn conversion, but no they are LITERAL POLE BARNS

quick question: what is a pole barn

probable followup: ok so what is a barn then

Pole buildings and barns use a post-frame construction where laminated wood posts make up the bulk of the framing. The roof utilizes trusses connected by purlins. The exterior consists of steel panel claddings that “hold” the structure together. Contrary to popular belief, the construction does not include poles, or interior columns.

By contrast, a stick-frame building contains a basement or crawlspace over which builders construct the building. The frame also requires a concrete foundation for support. Due to the construction of the foundation, building costs are far higher.

barn is just a shed that’s putting on airs
