Can you believe it? What a freakish thing to do to a bathroom. I can’t believe they thought they could get away with… putting the toilet paper holder all the way over there.

Copy & paste this:
It looks like they wallpapered the mirror, too. Interesting.
Wow, guess I won’t be needing that cup of coffee I just poured. That’s a waker-upper if I ever saw one, yikes!
MY GOD! Look at how much space they wasted in the corner by not putting that cabinet flush with the wall. It’s horrible!
I’d say those lights are a perfect C-cup.
oh, thank heavens I’m not the only one who thought that!
I thought so too!!
Those be headlights!
I hear Twin Peaks has really great cherry pie.
It’s a good thing they added the sculpture, it would have looked a little drab without it.
Is it a trick of the camera, or is that light fixture hung crooked, too?
And does that light fixture look more like eyes or breasts to y’all?
Light fixture: eyes; mirror: nose; sink: mouth. It’s going to EET ME!!!
BTW, I almost didn’t see the growling orange dog w/ the spiky collar on that cabinet or whatever. Nice touch.
Wow, that orange dog blends into the background.
I didn’t see it either until you pointed it out.
Worse, it looks like breasts with eyes.
Red room! Red room! Red room! With dog! *runs screaming into the snow*
Aye!
Talk about drilling a “theme” home. I take it they had that odd ferocious dog tchotchke and said…”How do we build a room around this?”
I’m so disappointed that they couldn’t find black toilet paper. The white just ruins it for me.
At least it is easy to find it. I have plain white wallpaper, and it is ever so hard to spot the roll.
White wallpaper? Was it easy to get confused on to which side to put the paste on?
Another (almost) million-dollar house with:
- Plentiful living spaces, enough for 3 or 4 families
- Same with dining areas, breakfast areas, etc.
- Enough bathrooms for an orphanage
On the other hand, it’s an (almost) million-dollar house without:
- A ballroom
- Servants’ quarters
- A ten-car garage. This has only three bays. How plebeian.
- A conservatory.
- An observatory, how about? I bet I could design one in if I was throwing around $975,000 for a house.
It only has a stingy three bedrooms plus convertible office, as if it was a tract house on a newly bulldozed lot. Where will the house parties sleep?
BUT despite all these flaws, this house has: A DOG BATHROOM! Exqusite! One of a kind! And it looks like aborigines drew the dogs!
I think the mirror is just reflecting the wallpaper?
But so strange – because the rest of the home looks relatively nice and “normal.”
Except that chair next to the stairs – is it covered in the same dog pattern?
What a curiously shaped sink! It almost looks like…a toilet bowl.
Remember this line from “Men in Black 2″? “There’s a huge rat in the toilet and it’s all stopped up, so you’re gonna hafta pee in the sink.”
One of the homes I lived in, my bedroom had a bathroom sink right in the middle of the window shelf of the bay window. The bathroom was on the left side on one of the outhouses on the ground floor, which required a walk through two freezing cold hallways, down a staircase, a dining room and another hallway. Alternatively, there was always that sink ….
:O MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!!
The rest of the house looks so awesome, why screw up the one bathroom? Why why why?
A lot of design books that talk about designing for small spaces suggest that a small powder room is a great place to go crazy with the decorating. It gives you something to look at for the few minutes you’re in there, and you’ll only ever be in there for a few minutes.
Mercifully.
I swear, just looking at the picture is an instant migraine. They could have at least limited the design to a border. At least the new owners will have something to do when they move in. Namely, strip out that hideous stuff and burn it.
you might not be allowed to burn it: it’s probably considered hazardous waste!
Moral of the story: Just because someone designs and manufactures something doesn’t mean you have to buy it and use it.
Now that is picking a theme and really committing to it.
What the &$*%^$ is that thing on the wall (the same wall with the toilet paper holder)? Some sort of bas relief sculpture?
Frankly, there needs to be MORE wallpaper. They had room on the cabinet…I would have opted for RED sink/toilet, myself. Not enough color…
This makes me think of Garden State. I really feel like I need a matching shirt.
Aaah, North Barrington. I’ve always pondered what those houses look like on the inside.
I bet the owner also carries the Doony and Bourke scotty dog purse

Rude Dog and The Dweebs anyone?
Did anyone spot the thingie on the wall to the right & above the sink? Looks kinda like a metal mailbox…maybe a mailbox that dispenses soap? Nice house though…spacious with a pond, covered patio, etc. But I would DEFINITELY change out the horrific wallpaper (in ALL the rooms)!
That “thingie” on the wall is just an electrical outlet.
Eeeek! An electrical outlet! Everybody run for your lives!
BAD DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That red bathroom is labeled “powder room” but in the pictures it appears to be off of the master bedroom foyer. So the master bedroom has both a huge luxurious bath and a red powder room. That’s rather odd. Perhaps the red powder room has some other purpose????
Some other powder. Perhaps it is a drug rehab thing, whenever you need a hit go into the “powder room”, remember your worst trip and suddenly the urge is gone. I think it’d work like a treat.
Oh God – I am so confused… I don’t even know what is going on in this photo! The walls and angles are all a blur to me, I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it…
Anyone else think we’re seeing the resolution of a marital argument where both parties just dug their heels in? There’s a fair amount of red/orange in the house, but nothing that craze anywhere else.
I’m thinking it went like this:
“What do you think of this wall paper?”
“It’s awful! Have you lost your mind?”
“But I thought it matched the statue…”
“We are NOT paying for that, do you hear me? No way, no how, I’m putting my foot down.”
Yeah, this looks like the result of one of those “You are not the boss of me!” *immediately calls paper hangers* type of arguments, wherein one spouse was out to prove something, and eventually grew to hate it with a white hot hatred, but couldn’t admit it because it would involve saying, “Okay, maybe you had a point.”
No one ever goes in there, but you can hear it calling to you in the night. Or barking. Yes, barking to you in the night.
Shhh, shhh. It’s okay, Land of shimp. There, there.
*gently pats Land of shimp’s head*
Hehe. Perhaps it’s time to switch to decaf.
Nah
Happy New Year, Sara. Thanks for the laughs in 2009.
That sounds just like the arguments in my family “I want a warm color for the bathroom”. “No, that’s too peachy”. “No, nothing blue or green”. “That’s too orangy”. “Definitely nothing yellow or lemon”. “That red is too bold”. “OK, we’ll go with berry red”.
General thought: considering all the crap they see, real estate agents must have cast-iron stomachs…..
The rest of the house looks lovely though, at least on the small pictures.. It’ll take a days work or two to tear down the wallpaper and replace it with something less nasty. Or a bit longer if you want tiles..
*BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK ARF ARF YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK*
“Shut UP! Shut UP! I can’t ‘let go’ with all that noise!”
I’m also intrigued that there appears to be a sculpture depicting a flying hedgehog above one of the fireplaces.
You know, I think it’s admirable that they tried to do something with all of the reject wrapping paper. I just don’t think they should’ve put them all on the wall.
For some reason the photo taken from this agle (not, I hastily add, that there is a good angle!) makes the mirror look like the ‘Portal of doom!’. Still, if I was in that bathroom Iwould opt for the portal of doom every time!
MY EEEYYYYYEEEESSSS!!!!
Can you imagine trying to use the toilet while you were drunk? I’m a little queasy just looking at the pictures.
