Lovely Listing

For when the staff of LesterCorp work from home

closet-bed

And through that door is a smaller closet and a smaller bed and a smaller door and through that door is an even smaller closet and an even smaller bed and an even smaller door and though the even smaller door is an even smaller closet…

      Oompa Loompa Doompa Dee Doo,
      I have a disturbing puzzle for you.
      Oompa Loompa Doompa Dee Dee,
      If you are wise you will listen to me.

      What do you do when you’re trapped in a box,
      You’re parents laughing as they close the locks.
      That other door doesn’t lead out you see,
      It leads to a monster who is hungry.

      Try not to make a sound.

      Oompa Loompa Doompa dee dong,
      If you are quiet you will live long.
      You will live in constant fear too,
      Like the Oompa Loompa Doompa dee do.

    I think the fridge must be in the downsizing loop too, or is it just an optical illusion? The door looks massive next to it, while the fridge looks abnormally small.

    Then I saw the bottle labeled “drink me” and it all went to hell from there.

    Off topic, but, I just found a group Chair- spotting in another humor site I frequent:
    http://thereifixedit.com/2009/12/17/much-like-snowflakes-no-two-kludges-are-exactly-alike/

    …Are you folks cross-pollinating, or something?

  4. Yudo Nomi says:

    OMFG – they want over $500,000 for that little 1,000sq/ft crackerbox?! That may be the craziest thing I’ve seen on this site yet…

    Or it could be a “snore room.” To stay married some of us have placed an extra place near the bedroom so that both can get a full night’s sleep.

    We were talked into an idiotic balcony off of the master bedroom. It was a silly space, since I do not tend to sit outside in my jammies, nor do I hang out in my bedroom once I get dressed. So we enclosed it, turned it into a greenhouse and put in a twin sized bed. Now it is a retreat when one of us starts to snore.

    Our snore room is more comfortable and less claustrophobic than that closet, plus with all the windows it makes a great place to read a book (there are blackout curtains to block out the sun when it comes up at 5am in the summer). I often catch my teenage daughter in there napping, reading, talking on her phone or taking lots of pictures with her digital camera (it has good sunset views).

  6. Chris says:

    Wait, looking at it… it is a room off of the lower family room, which also has a bed. There is a crib in one bedroom and twin beds elsewhere. This looks like lots of people in that house!

    • stormsearch says:

      If you look at the furniture, it looks like the room at teh bottom of the stairs has a bed right at the bottom of the stairs, two beds to the right (if you stood at the bottom of the stairs) and the cupboard with the bed in it is on the wall next to those two beds. Sort of like this:

      ____________
      bed |
      bed |
      bed |
      |
      …_cupboard_|
      |
      the dots are the stairs.

      I got this impression from looking at the furniture in the edges of the photos. What do you think?
      In any case – that’s an awful lot of people/beds in that house!

  8. SM says:

    I guess you’d need all those dressers when you’re putting beds in all the closets.

  9. Texchanchan says:

    Looks like the bed-closet has a raised floor and a low ceiling. What’s above that ceiling?

    And how do they fit two stories into that house? There’s a staircase.

  10. *Di* says:

    Actually – I would kind of like a little sleeping niche like that.
    Kind of womb-like, almost.

    As long as I had a quick escape route …

  11. tuulikki says:

    And in photo#16–pants! Send the realtors Tip #2!

  12. sof says:

    Longhouse is long.

  13. Emma says:

    Ha, LesterCorp, perfect. Ever want to be somebody else?

  14. Madness says:

    The more I look through the listing, the creepier it gets. In #6, there is someone lurking way in the background. In the picture with the crib … is that a doll in the bed? And there might be someone behind the curtain in the tub …

    • jupiter says:

      There’s a dog peeking in in #14. I don’t know what’s in the shower but it’s bright RED. And #8 continues the theme of beds with short ceilings above the head area.

  15. Heidi says:

    If John Cusack shows up with a puppet, I’m bailing!

  16. VZG says:

    I’m so updating my dream house plans. THIS IS GOING IN IT.

    Although I’m starting to think I should just put hidden beds everywhere. I’m a sleepy person.

  17. fish eye no miko says:

    I’ve heard of a walk-in closet, but a sleep-in closet?

  18. gvh says:

    Maybe it’s really good quality, but topically banal trompe l’oeil.

  19. astaraelsget says:

    I kind of feel like making a Harry Potter joke, but I won’t. It’s not like the cupboard’s really *under the stairs*.

  20. JV says:

    Ah, yes, the ever-popular nesting bedroom feature is the cornerstone of this listing.

  21. N/A says:

    I had a friend in high school who had a bedroom like this. It was originally the dressing room off of a bedroom but her brother had the bedroom and she had the closet which was just big enough for a twin bed with about a foot of space down the side and a dresser under the window (it was an attic room) at the other end. Poor girl had to knock every time she wanted to leave her bedroom in case her brother was naked and once he got a girlfriend she was often stuck in her room while they got busy. Totally ridiculous.

    • bethb57 says:

      I slept in a closet for 8 weeks one summer. The people I worked for rented a giant mansion and it was a big enough closet that I could have some privacy. Plus if a serial killer came in they would never think to check the closets for people!

    Recursion. You’re doing it wrong.

    (BTW, are those Tae Kwon Do target pads on the dresser? Cool.)
