This Dining Room Is Making Me Lose My Appetite

Bleh

Believe it or not: this is not an example of my excellent Photoshop skills.

Do you think the wallpaper is fuzzy? I think it’s fuzzy. Purrrr…..

Loveliest comment, by tacomagic: Well at least the FSM made an appearance. If you can force yourself to eat at that table you’ll be touched by his noodly appendage.

    Dinner time? Great, I’m starving!

    So, what are we hav — never mind. I’m not hungry after all.

  2. SpaniardX says:

    Wow, this is the wall paper they had in the woodland cottage where Aurora grew up. See where Flora and Merriweather had their color war over the girl’s dress?
    “Pink!” **pouf!**
    “No, blue!” **pouf!**
    “Pink!” **Pouf!**
    “Blue!” **pouf!**

  3. Madness says:

    In Photo 11 — are those chairs or ab rollers? Maybe these people are on a diet and the wall paper is to discourage eating… And won’t someone please think of the little doggie?

  4. tacomagic says:

    It would lose its allure after 3 hours of velcro ball.

    This whole house is perpetually stuck in the early 90s. My theory is that the owners died somewhere around 1993, and the house has been perfectly preserved like this ever since.

    • Madness says:

      Or maybe they’re hermits and never go out or watch TV … Like that movie with Brendan Fraiser where they were in the bomb shelter for 40 years or something.

  6. Les says:

    The wall paper reminds me of the pet mold the grad students kept in the mycology lab.

  7. I love Star Trek, but I just can’t figure out which episode this is. It’s definitely one with a transporter accident or a warp core explosion. Whichever it is, someone in a red shirt better hope their affairs are in order.

  8. What the hell is with that chandelier? It looks like a growth.

  9. Joan says:

    It looks like the strawberry and blueberry jello went bad and was regurgitated on the walls.

  10. BikerGeek says:

    Also, look at a map–it backs up to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

  11. Sarah says:

    The chadelier looks like a Shadow ship from Babylon 5. The walls look like handmade felt gone wrong. Did they get it from “Regretsy”?

  12. cc says:

    Although those walls do look photoshopped, I would never accuse anyone who did this of having excellent skills.

  13. Caffeinated Katie says:

    It looks like the homeowner let one of the wreckerators from Cake Wrecks loose on the walls with an airbrush.

  14. Just Me says:

    Strange. The house appears to have been built circa 2000, yet the decor is very late ’80s/early ’90s. I bet these people dress their kids just like “Blossom” and listen to a lot of Deee-Lite.

  15. Land of shimp says:

    Well, I guess it’s better than embracing the beige of ubiquity when it comes to living with it. When selling? Uh, you might want to rent a steamer and buy some of the aforementioned beige.

    I’m all for personalizing the living heck out of a place while you live in it, it’s just hard to then turn around and sell it without trying to appeal to people who aren’t you.

    Speaking of…Sara, I got you something, seeing as you mentioned being a more SGA sort of person (and I’m with you, SGU is not great, but heck, I’m watching):

    http://www.electronichouse.com/article/a_stargate_atlantis_theater_is_born/

    Check out this guy’s media room. I kind of dig the pocket doors…but it’s hard not to get the giggles over 70k for massive amounts of MDF.

    • Sara says:

      Oh my lord, that’s awesome. Or horrible. One of those. Awesome, I think.

    • Vivian says:

      Definitely awesome. I love that they even correctly identified that it’s a Pegasus (Atlantis), not Milky Way, gate!

      To make this even better, I was actually watching Atlantis when I started reading this entry.

      • Land of shimp says:

        I’m going with awesome also. Don’t mistake me, if I had spare 70k, I’d likely spend it on something that was…not that, but I love that the guy went for it, and is secure enough in doing so to then have it photographed and written about.

        Go him! Way to be comfortable in your own skin.

        Also, I kind of want to watch a movie in there, and play with the automatic pocket door for an hour or so.

  16. Texchanchan says:

    The wall pattern is excellent camouflage for whatever that is behind the table. I can’t make out if it’s a doorway or what.

  17. Cassie Sue says:

    It’s not ugly wallpaper, it’s a magic eye! Stare at it long enough and you will see The Last Supper… now that’s classy! LOL

  18. Jake Hildebrandt says:

    It looks like Greyhound Bus upholstery, only enlarged!

  19. Jeanne B says:

    This is wallpaper? Are you sure it’s not spray paint? Looks more like a graffiti artist blew past.

  20. Kate says:

    Perhaps they were going for Star Trek Next Generation observation lounge… and the wall paper is supposed to be the “galaxy”?

    Not sure what role the chandelier is playing in this scenerio. Invading alien?

  21. Lisa W. says:

    When good cotton candy goes bad.

  22. JMixx says:

    It’s a trap! The awful color pattern on the walls is to distract you–while you are staring at it in disbelief, the giant spider dangling in the center of the room leaps on you and devours you forthwith!

  23. Jim Pemberton says:

    This looks like a Hildi room from the old Trading Spaces. The couple comes in for the reveal and she breaks out in tears for how ugly it is. The husband doesn’t care much because they never eat in anyway. So they divorce, move away, and put the house on the market.

    $1000 and you can decorate to ruin your marriage too.

  24. nomadic says:

    That’s the worst case of toxic mold I’ve ever seen.

  25. Bob says:

    Definitely earlier years of music video. I can picture the singer from Spandau Ballet in a tuxedo singing “This Much Is True” into an inappropriately long, skinny shafted microphone (a la Bob Barker) in that room. Or maybe Annie Lennox singing “Sweet Dreams” or The Human League with “Don’t You Want Me”. It’s a paint pattern that they REALLY WOULDN’T EVEN USE IN THE 80′S. They would do the same thing but with lighting so that they could turn it off after they finished shooting the video. IMMEDIATELY soon after shooting the video.
