Lovely Listing

Wood paneling, with wood paneling accents

Aug. 16, 2008


I can see the appeal of having a room like this. I really can. I’m not sure why anyone needs two dartboards (dart machines?), and there’s an antelope or something sticking its head through the wall, and that’s a weird TV, but a game room really would be great. But — as always — we must ask: does this make the house more attractive to buyers? Was including this photo in the listing a good idea?

Um.

Shh! Shhhhh!

Man, it’s tough to play hide and seek when you’re an armchair.

P.S. “This home is close to the Casino and COULD be in their growth path.” But, you know, maybe it isn’t. And is being in a casino’s growth path really such a bad thing? I have no idea what a “growth path” is. Maybe it’s something nice.

Want to buy a doublewide, pilgrim?

Is this a thing? A thing that real estate agents do? A “this random image will seal the deal” thing? I do not know.

(Found by Megan, who wonders if he’s included.)

A circus tent of one's own

Aug. 15, 2008

It’s actually the plywood that confuses me most about this photo. What’s there? How could you have such a vision, but then not bother to do the final two square feet? Or wait, maybe it’s the phone books that throw me off…

According to the listing, this is a “Napolean inspired tent bedroom.” Okay.

No, really, build your own home

Roy found this delightful home. I’m cheating, because the listing makes it clear that the house is under construction — but I cannot resist the optimistic “Lounge and Kitchen.”

Sincerely,
The Queen of Sheba
