Enough of the gray! Are you awake yet? I SAID, ARE YOU AWAKE YET?
Man, even the house knows this is Too Much Color. Look in the top photo: it’s shedding the green wallpaper in an attempt to restore some calmness.

OWWW! My eyes!
I feel like I went on a magical mystery tour.
My EYES! My EYES!
I noticed that the furniture managed to escape.
I feel bad for the other stuff left behind.
Looking at the walls too long can cause serious myoptomania.
All I can say is “good lord”!
No, seriously…that’s all I can say…
Why does the third picture of the red room remind me of Edgar Allen Poe?
As I was scroling down, the wallpaper pattern in the blue room (should that be the Blue Room? I dunno…) was so psychedelic, I actually thought the perspective was changing, like it was an animated GIF or something.
I came here to post that exact thing!
I think it has to do with the standard setting on a scroll wheel being just slightly off from the spacing on that wallpaper, so when you scroll past it, it fools you into thinking it’s shifted.
For some really fun times, scroll up and down, keeping it in the page, and check out the optical illusion.
^-.-^
Actually, I think if you stare long enough, you can see a sailboat.
and another thing… is it just the wide-angle lens..or does the floor in the first picture appear to make an uphill run into the corner?
Point of fact most of the angles in those pictures look un-natural. I imagine the construction site had a serious shortage of measuring tape, squares and spirit levels. Maybe they just “eyeballed it”… after about three hits of acid?
Actually, I think spirits were definitely involved in the construction here. I’m not clear yet whether or not they were alcoholic or supernatural, but they’re definitely involved somehow.
I think the put in some new floor covering (vinyl or the like) and it didn’t quite fit the room, and they didn’t take the time to cut it to fit, or try to tamp it into place.
Either that, or the room was flooded with some mostly-liquid mud, which is why it has that vaguely uneven cast to it.
^-.-^
Don’t tell anyone, but I actually kinda like it.
HEY EVERYONE EMILY KIND OF oh wait never mind
Blood red carpet AND an industrial drop ceiling in the bathroom! Aiyee!!!!!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
I’m going over to the Big Picture to see if my retinas will recover.
This is truly gag-worthy!
What’s up with the giant pupae hanging from the drop down ceiling tiles in the basement? Is this where they filmed Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Cocoon?
Oh, my. That violates the Geneva Convention!
The walls of these rooms look like the “magic eye” pictures that were so popular when I was in middle school…the first one is a unicorn riding a rocket, the second is a gnome with tarantula legs, and the third is my uncle mistaking the sink for a toilet.
Did you notice:
*the red room has a red cover on the florescent light
*the “breakfast room” appears to have wallpaper on the floor and wood flooring on the wall
*”Bedroom 3″ has women wrapped in a pink scarf? on the wallpaper
*They wallpapered the door in “bath 1″
*The enclosed porch appears to be entirely carpeted in red carpet?
*the patio appears to having parking lines, and is really dismal plus the garbage cans are right against poor chair! AND there’s a deer sculpture next to some sort of cherub fountain?
*”additional photo”(#28) has a sink(maybe?) with a shelf/counter covering it and a garbage can right under the U bend as if its there to catch leaks?
This house is insane. Parts of the garden are really nice, and some of the rooms look very spacious but the outside of the house makes it look like claptrap. Weird.
“Bath 1″ has a very squashed feeling to it, doesn’t it? Like that door is too short to actually walk through without ducking.
The porch has more of that synthetic covering stuff that was in the 2nd bedroom. Again, it’s badly cut and badly laid.
And #28 is the same space as #17, so that counter either retracts somehow, or there’s something else very strange going on with it.
^-.-^
You are right #17 and #21 both show the same “sink” -but where would the counter go. The bit that goes missing is too big to flip up or push in, and it can’t slide off to the side its unlevel in the wrong way.
Now I am even more confused about what the white thing with the drain is. I just don’t get it!
Also yes I believe Bath 1 is for hobbits.
it would appear that the mrs. ran a beauty parlor in the rec
room…the counter over the sink would flip up so she could
wash the clients’ hair, then flip down when not in use. probably
on a piano hinge.
I love the non-skid butterflys on the SIDE of the bath tub to make room for some more wallpaper on the bottom?!
Yikes! Awful!
Ditto on the owies. I thought at first glance this house might be in New Zealand! Sara, I think you should consider adding Fireplace Family to Chair Family, under the category, “Those Who Most Need To Get Away From Their Dangerous Real Estate.” This listing alone has two great candidates who are clearly trying to break away from the mothership and need the strong Chair leadership to be successful.
Okay, so the abundance of pattern is, obviously, distressing, but on their own, the papers are adorable. I could imagine one wall or even just accents being really successful in those patterns. I really want to know where they got the green and blue ones…
I’m with ya. I adore Nouveau-styled wallpaper. I like the black and gold brocade one myself, with the blue a close second.
But all in one house, or covering an entire room even? Eye-carumba! (see what I did there?)
In all seriousness, these are beautiful photographs. There’s something very, erm, New Zealand about them.
The house is so unassuming on the outside, quaint even. And then … you step inside … and it’s pandemonium!
How many of you looked at these pictures and, like me, intially thought that at least two of them (and possibly more) were upside down?
Is it just me, or does the mat in the bathtub appear to match the wallpaper? And are those butterflies inside the tub??
I actually like the retro look of the green wallpaper on top. Give it some crisp white paint on the door and trimmings, some hardwood floors, and very minimal decorating, and it would be very quirky and whimsical.
The rest just makes me nauseous. Especially the bottom one, which seems to be moving.
WHAT WAS I THINKING ????? I went to the agency listing. These pictures are just the tip of the Magical Mystery Tour. I dunno. The ??game room?? just screamed “Poker Night”. You could imagine guys playing cards while sitting in those oak barrel chairs. A man playing bawdy tunes on the upright old-time piano while saloon girls flirted away the night. And the wife, downstairs ?? doing hair at the hair station. I give TWO THUMBS UP to the real estate agent who came up with the description for this place.
“”This 2300 sf home has lots to offer. Located in the heart of Milford w/Old World charm. Take advantage of this Estate Sale & make it your dream home. Fin LL w/elec, frpl. Great w/c w/addtl closets off the walk-ins. Cul-de-sac, nice nghbrhd.”"
It burns us! It burns us!
Good lord. I regret using a mouse with a scroll wheel. Scrolled down, and I thought I saw that blue monstrosity at the bottom move like those optical illusions you can find on the internet.
I made the mistake of testing whether or not I did see it. …I did.
Now I have a headache.
I actually like the retro look of the green wallpaper on top. Lay a nice hardwood floor, get some crisp white paint on the doors and trimmings, some simple white furniture, a new light fixture, and you’d have yourself a quirky, whimsical room.
oh my …
For the love of God, why would you put yourself through all that wallpapering?
Well, I see that the green paper is already starting to peel off. So the new owners will only have 5000 hours of paper removal to deal with.
I actually agree with a PP that some the paper is kind of cool, in a small single wall, one room approach. With a very otherwise minimalist decoration sceme around it.
That basement level is “finished” all right. Completely, totally finished.
I actually love all that wallpaper, but not as wallpaper. It would be cool to take some pieces of it and frame ‘em.
Okay, that is down right scary! Color is wonderful, but keep it to one at a time on the walls. Otherwise it just jumps out and slaps you. LOL
I actually nearly vomitted a bit.
Wow, here I was going to post what I was thinking – namely, that these couldn’t be actual rooms in a real house but are instead MAGIC EYE pictures – only to discover somebody beat me to it. Dang!
It’s true, though. These wallcoverings actually trick you into thinking they’re in motion. Why would somebody want every room in their house to be an optical illusion? Puzzling.
It’s an optical illusion!
Look at the last blue wallpaper.
Now scroll the page back and forth with the scroll wheel of your mouse.
It’s alive!!!!!!
Oh my god! My eyes are bleeding. Never let your dog choose the wallpaper and carpet, Or the room will turn out looking like those.
But seriously, colorblind + ugly wallpapers + ugly carpets = OH GOD MY EYES
I love how the furnace pipes are snaking thru the dropped ceiling in the basement, loch-ness-monster-like…
Even if you WERE going to use these wild and psychedelic wallpapers, good grief! What were they thinking? “I know, honey! This will be soooo cute! We’ll put the carpet that matches the bathroom wallpaper in…the BEDROOM! And the carpet that matches the Ballroom in the BATHROOM!”
Or maybe they cut the carpeting (approximately) to size, put up the wallpaper, then realized the mistake. “So it doesn’t match. What-EVER!”
And all that assumes that you WANT wallpaper that your guests stare at for twenty minutes, trying to see the “Magic Eye” picture.
What, they couldn’t extend the carpeting out onto the patio? Or wallpaper the backyard? Must’ve been an oversight. They sure like red.
It is like a Magic Eye book. Remember those? I get migraines just thinking about them.
weirdly, this reminds me of the movie Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas… anybody know what I mean?
It’s the house where magic eyes were born!! If you stare at the wallpaper long enough, what is the 3-D picture you’ll see?
Oops. Sorry about the double post.
Happens to the best of us.
It could happen to anyone.
I’m pretty sure that what had to have happened here is that some poor blind person really, really pissed off their only friend in the world without knowing it and that sneaky someone got their revenge with this decorating job, thereby robbing them of any value they had built up in their home. That is some stealthy revenge. Because seriously, no person with any vision left would be able to wander through this house without vertigo and or vomiting being induced.
so either it is a blind person who said “I like the texture of this wallpaper” or it was a person who thought “hey, if i put in vertigo inducing wallpaper those darn robbers will finally be vanquished back to narnia!” yep
All of that in ONE HOUSE! I seriously thought it was a composite of the worst wallpapers they could find until I got to the end! OH the pain!
Anyone else thinking about that bathroom shirt scene from Garden State?
Why do I have a feeling that the money from this sale will go into a preorder of Sims 3….
O M G
Who would consider this “old world charm?” What Old World? Where?
whoa… has anyone payed Yoville on Facebook? this looks JUST LIKE MY HOUSE…
Did anybody else notice really weird looking tiny ancient outdoor fireplace/BBQ grill outside next to the red rotting shed (as if the maniacial wallpaper images weren’t bad enough)? Actually the yard seems rather restful and a good place to give your poor eyes relief!
The last house…the really colorful one…looks like the wall paper is made of those optical illusions…That would be creepy if it was…
Yes, I imagine person who buys will have to be one of those “magic eye- oh I can never get those things”. Although, it might be a great place to live if you want the illusion of extra space??
I’m dizzy
does this remind anyone else of “The Shining”??
It reminds me of when I play the Sims and try to make the ugliest rooms possible.
Yes, the Sims was my first thought, too.
I can almost smell my grandmas attic now. You know….that musty-closed-up house smell?
When I first saw these pictures, I thought the house would have been from another country only to find out it’s about 30 minutes from where I live. Ohio is ridiculous.
OMG you guys, Don’t you get it!!! It’s a magic eye house!
I actually dig this a whole lot. My inner grandma is sighing and embroidering in contentment.
Staring…. Staring…. OOOOO A SCHOONER!!
I may just “Peuce” on this one!
Call me crazy, but I love it! Not very well maintained, though, as is evidenced by the peeling wallpaper and poorly lain carpet.
