Maybe it's a fire breaking out

Aug. 27, 2008


Is that a light under the sink, so you can really see the crud? Why is there a cord going into the sink? Do you feel like buying the house after seeing this photo? Yes, I know you do.

It's all there

Aug. 27, 2008


If you’re going to have only one interior photo in your listing, as in this one Roy found, you might as well try to cram as much as possible into it. Quick! The fireplace! The wallhangings! Grab the sofa! Houseplants, where are the houseplants, there they are… the stroller! Is there room for the high chair? More chairs, lots of chairs! What else? The baby, toss the baby in, toss the baby!

If you were going to use Photoshop’s stamper tool to fill in a front yard, wouldn’t you do something a little nicer than “dead grass, dead grass, dead grass”? (And what the heck, make the house pretty while you’re at it, too.)

That said — I really don’t understand this painting Heather found. Or, more to the point, I don’t understand why it’s in the listing:

Locks are for breaking

Aug. 26, 2008


Well, I don’t know… the house seems okay, but I was looking for something that had been broken into lately. What? Really? Great!

I feel so good in my neighborhood

Guy found this classy living room. At least it’s a break from the overly-staged sets usually found in real estate listings… a nice, relaxing break….

Flush at your own risk

Aug. 26, 2008

This bold bit of decorating was found by Jeremy, who suspects that there was a murder in the toilet. We’ve all had roommates like that.
