Okay… I see what they were going for there… but they could’ve done more. Nobody’s sick of my showing off my art school degree yet, right? Great! Here we go!
Ahh. Much better.

Loveliest comment, by Lazlo H: I was saddened to find out that Transmorphers is not actually a transexual porn flick based on the Transformers, but is just a cheap action movie.

Copy & paste this:
Remind me to hire you the next time I decide to redecorate my house.
Incredible – you have a real gift.
At least that carpet won’t show any spills – ink, paint, blueberry pie….
Never will I understand why people spend $5,000 on a TV set and watch it sitting on a sofa they dragged out of the dumpster.
Spill ONE glass of grape juice and this is what happens.
Not just watching the $5,000 tv from the college dumpster diver special sofa, but watching a knock off movie on it. Really, what is a Transmorpher?
according to my “font of knowledge” aka hubby, it was a cheaply made, straight to DVD movie, that was really, really bad.
I love how the TV is showing “Transmorphers”. Class act.
It’s a real movie, believe it or not. Look it up: http://www.amazon.com/Transmorphers/dp/B000PC704W
“Transmorphers”? With carpet like that, they can’t buy REAL movies, instead getting the knockoff that was only sold in Walmart??
Are there people who love TV so much that they’ll have a panic attack if it’s off for just a minute while the realtor shoots some photos? “Ok, I’ll leave the room, but, OMG PLEASE DON’T TURN OFF THE TV!!”
Anybody else weirded out by the fact they are watching not “Transformers” but “TransMORPHERS”
W. T. F.
Finally, an opportunity to use the words moired, trapezoidal and vertiginous in the same sentence. The dining room’s trapezoidal shape and the moired carpet pattern is vertiginous.
Fortunately, I go out on the balcony to steady myself as long as I don’t look at the floor along the way.
The carpet appears to be tie-dyed.
Groovy.
Transmorphers!!! A lovely little cinematic gem from a studio called “Asylum”, who is also responsible for those Citizen Kanes of our age; “I am Omega” and “Snakes on a Train”.
ah snakes on a train, a truly awful movie if ever there was one.
I find it sad that I’ve actually seen “I Am Omega.” If that’s where “Transmorphers” is, quality wise, they spent WAY too much on that TV to be watching that kind of crap on it.
But then again, you know that carpet is expensive and exclusive. That’s the kind of people these are: they have an expensive house, TV, carpet, etc… and they watch “Transmorphers” on a dumpster couch. Money cannot buy taste, but apparently it can buy instant seasickness.
Hey, I truly loved “Transmorphers” – who can say no to robots and lesbians? (sadly, not together at last). However, “Pirates of Treasure Island” wasn’t great.
Another classic is “The Da Vinci Treasure”
Why are Austrailian homes always so tacky?
Why are Australian homes on Lovely Listings always so tacky? Because they’re on Lovely Listings! Also, this particular house is in Queensland. I don’t need to say anymore.
Oh, three pin ball machines! These are cool people.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the carpet is meant to make you feel like you’re walking on clouds.
Certain patterns and color pairings make me really dizzy and ill. Having to live with that carpet would make my life a nightmare.
Is it only me who is aware that the side table is smiling?
It haz a happie?
Such a weird mix of luxe and low-rent. The view is nice though–I’d be spending a lot of time outdoors.
yes the outside looks much nicer than inside, and the views are lovely.
what I’m really stumped by though is, this place has four bedrooms, but not a single photo of any of them, just lots of that carpet.
Ooooh, fractally.
Help, I’m being pummeled by a Mandelbrot set, and I can’t get up!
At least I can now declare this site Educational: I have learned from LovelyListing that, whenever one is out visiting possible real estate to purchase, ALWAYS RUN away from, and NEVER enter, any place that has fake Grecian statuary outside.
‘Cause heaven knows, the inside will be *scary*……
The bucket-fill icon was cropped out of the picture.
Aside from the obvious need for new flooring — because, damn — it’s a nice enough house with great views.
It’s also listed at 700k above the median price for that division. It’s on a great lot, with great views, so I’m sure that accounts for the price but now, imagine the 350k version that dots the area.
The carpet is seeming pretty nice now, huh?
…and I entirely take it back, because if you scroll down to the “Local Sales” area in that listing? There are links to three recent sales, all properties in the 325-375 range, that sold recently.
All nicely done houses, nice flooring.
Furnished with primarily contemporary furnishings, too.
Wow, do they ever need to redo those floors in this houses listing if that’s what’s usually available in the area.
If you’re selling a house for 4 times the average sales price of houses in the area, why would you list the prices of other houses in the area?
It depends on the site, mystic_eye, but it’s information that any decent agent will find out in comps anyway, and it is public information.
Trulia is a site I check a lot, and it frequently has all the comps, and recent sales listed.
On the listings where that information has been taken off, it’s s dead giveaway that the house is way overpriced (talking about Trulia, not the Aussie site above).
Because you’re the smartypants who put down that carpet?
What’s really weird is that it looks like that Transmorphers title screen was actually photoshopped in there, suggesting that there was already something objectionable on screen that the realtor though only the beauty of Transmorphers could cover up.
Apparently Just Me and I are the only ones who don’t hate this carpet. Not saying it’s something I’d pick, but I can have some understanding of the appeal there.
On the other hand, I think the blue walls of the dining room are rather hideous, and that shape would make me claustrophobic.
Belatedly… I rather like the carpeting. Mind you, no house I get in future, should I ever get out of this repo doublewide I got on the cheap and had planned to be out of in a couple years (been nearer ten), will have any carpeting at all. I overdosed on wall-to-wall as a kid and I am tired of it.
My house is finally carpet-free, and I’m never going back.
North Queensland – two words: mining money.
Also did you see the laundry? either the dryer has been installed upside down or these are BIG miners! no-one else could reach the controls at ceiling level
I was thinking the same thing! You’d have to be awfully tall to reach those controls.
“This bright, airey and breezy room with blue walls will make you feel you are in heaven”.
…Acrophobia sufferers need not apply…
The dining room is one of those illusion-rooms; if you stand in one corner, you look like you’re nine feet tall, and if you stand in the opposite corner, you look like you’re two feet tall.
If you don’t get dizzy and fall over. Then you look like you have a five-foot-tall head and six-inch feet.
Thanks for posting my suggestion! Yay!
