The Chesterfield Killers: not just a mod revival band

Funny-Real Estate-Photos-ChesterfieldKillers

See that middle bit in this couch Catherine found? That’s where it opens up, and you fall in, it slides shut, and you’re never heard from again.

(The small one is an apprentice killer couch. No, an assassin armchair. A cold-blooded captain’s chair? An overstuffed executioner? A slayer sleigh sofa?)

    That looks like a cross between Mickey Mouse’s house and the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast.

  2. SpytFyr says:

    That room is terrifying.

    I think the sofa and chair are smiling about the ones they’ve helped ‘disappear’….

    I think I’ll go hide under the bed now.

  3. smarti22 says:

    Holy moly, somebody actually manufactures that stuff?

  4. Faith says:

    I can’t figure out what’s going on behind the couch. (I know…I also can’t figure out how I even noticed anything other than the couch and chair, but I did…weird.) Is that a chair rail molding and beadboard that only goes so far along the wall before it just stops? Or is it a bunch of crap that’s stacked over next to the couch, and tha piece of molding-type looking stuff is included? Why are the pictures hung so high on the wall?

    And WTF is up with the bear in the dress in the corner?

    Good lord, that couch is ugly. Jeezy…

  5. Tony Paul says:

    The TV looks sooo out of place…

    It’s as if Laura Ashley was possessed by the spirits of Strawberry Shortcake and Pee Wee Herman combined in some Barbara Cartland novel set in Yorkshire.

    Oh muh GAWD. Nightmaresnightmaresnightmares.

  7. Jordan says:

    Knowing just a little about upholstery (enough to know that this is an unholy mash-up of furniture style, paint, pattern and intention) I am just really awed that somebody with undeniable skills, and undeniable nerve, took on this project, and then at the very last opportunity, bailed on matching the cushion fronts to each other. Sure, have the pale stripe facing front on … all but one of the cushions…?!?1! Also, was the wainscot-wallpaper pattern supposed to match the seating? Or is that just a happenstance resulting from an irresistible urge to pattern everything in sight? Yikes.

    • Jess says:

      I’m giving the furnature maker the benifit of the doubt and say that they did match up the pattern but perhaps the owner of the sofa had spilt something on the cushion and flipped it over to hide the evidence.

      • Thayli says:

        And I was just worrying about myself because the cushion bothered me (and stood out more to me) than the couches. Whew, I’m not the only one.

  8. ann says:

    Is that a poster of Barbie? It adds the perfect touch.

  9. Fred Rico says:

    So,is this the home of Sid and Marty Kroft?

  10. Stacy says:

    SMILING. WHY ARE THEY SMILING AT ME. I CAN HEAR THE PERSON THEY’VE EATEN SCREAMING.

  11. anono-mouse says:

    Ha Ha! Someone tall must live there. Look at the picture above the sofa and how high it is hung. At my girlfriends house all of her pictures are hung very high—her husband (who does the picture hanging) is 6’6″. Cracks me up.

    Wait…

    I…think…I…am…going…to…go…get…sick…now…

  12. Dawn says:

    Holy smoly! At least they could line up the pillows … ?

    *sigh*

  13. Pookah says:

    I can’t stop noticing that the left-most cushion doesn’t match and should be on that chair instead. Somehow it bothers me even more than the bear in a dress.

  14. VoldemortWearsPrada says:

    Bring in the UN – that’s a crime against upholstery!

  15. Sept says:

    That couch looks like it’s made of bacon!

  16. Stinkerbell says:

    Wow, oh, wow. That is hideous. And yet you can’t look away.

  17. clvngodess says:

    Wow, I just had flashbacks of The Gump.

  18. beegee says:

    oh dearie dear. why cant i get my eyes to focus now?

  19. vandalfan says:

    They are grinning at us.

  20. agrajjag says:

    hah! if it wasn’t for the middle-back cushion being a bit lower and the patterns not matching up properly i would be totally and completely in love!
    how could you be sad with a couch like that in your life?

  21. PhysicFlea says:

    I want this furniture in the house in Australia with the black & white checkered tile. Living life like a cartoon, what could be better?

  22. Ragnar says:

    I think the panel-style wallpaper goes all the way across the room but is hidden by stuff like the fan and shelf. The white thing to the right looks an awful lot like a radiator… odd placement by the eye of someone used to modern continental European heating systems, but not impossible – in the old days they often put radiators somewhere into a corner of the room instead of underneath the window. If it’s a radiator it’s post-1980 though.

  23. ThisIsNotMyBeautifulHouse says:

    Gypsies.

    Only Gypsies could decorate like that.
