Offer Your Guests a Shower Before Dinner

Apr. 21, 2011

funny real estate - Offer Your Guests a Shower Before Dinner

Here we see a traditional Finnish kitchen, with a sink, microwave, small fridge, sock bureau, ceiling-mounted cryogenics pod (head size only; items inside do not convey), and… well, let’s be blunt. It’s a shower, and it’s five feet from the dining table.

But! Note the tasteful frosted glass! All your unmentionables will be completely hidden. People sitting at the table will have no idea what’s going on in there. “She must be freshening up the flower arrangement,” they’ll think. “Or maybe that’s her vegetable steamer?”

Living in a Nordic Wonderland

funny real estate - Living in a Nordic Wonderland

If a crew of iconic mid century designers tackled the sets for a remake of the stop motion “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” I would move right in. Pack my sleigh!

Woo Hoo Let’s Move to Finland!

Dec. 28, 2010

By: Not Sara, Sorry

The Finnish seriously know how to relax. Like, seriously. Do they even have to pay their mortgage? I’d love such a laid back atmosphere.

White House, Seriously.

Oct. 1, 2010

funny real estate - White House, Seriously.

When you live in a tropical jungle like Imatra, Hawaii, it’s nice to have a calm and soothing home to come back to where you can rest your eyes. Ahhh.

You can tell it’s Hawaiian by all the k’s and vowels in the listing. Try this sample: Mahdottoman kaunis koti! Tilaa elää, asua ja harrastaa koko perheelle. Hyvin suunnitellut tilat kahdessa kerroksessa. Ihastuttava terassi on vain yksi yksityiskohta tässä kodissa, joka luo ripauksen luksusta arkeen. So melodic! Can’t you smell the kālua pig roasting?

Really these photos are giving me the creeps, because they remind me of those awful hand-tinted black and white postcards found in office cubicles in the 1990s. They had scenes like a boy and a girl dressed in too-big clothes, holding hands, with just the flower on her Blossom hat colored in. Why these urchins were supposed to be adorable despite the suggestion of romantic relationships between children escapes me. And I am rambling a bit? There’s a chance that I am. It’s been a long week.

Speaking of adding a bit of color: guess what? We — by which I mean I, but soon I won’t — are getting an additional writer! Please say “hello” to Kim, who will be writing more so I don’t have to. I’ll do my daily early-morning posts (unless you live in Madagascar, in which case you can read my posts as you get into your PJs), and she’ll be finding you more delights throughout the day.

The intense interview process (it’s like The Hunger Games but without the laughs) revealed that Kim is indeed qualified to join Chair and me here at the Lovely Listing HQ, as she too is nosy. That’s really all it takes.

Helllooo, Kim!

Double Duty

Dude. Check it out. The weirdest thing ever is going on here. You see? You see it? So bizarre: the toilet paper is hung on the shower stall door. Crazy!

There might be something else wrong here, too.

Deformed Hand Or Giant Chicken Infestation?

Go into the light. Right there. Ahead of you. Go into it, my child. Do not be afraid. No. That light right there outside the window. Go into it. GO INTO THE LIGHT. LOOK WILL YOU JUST GO INTO THE LIGHT ALREADY OR ELSE I’M GOING TO SEND CHICKEN HAND AFTER YOU there. Thank you. I thought you’d see things my way.

You're so sadly neglected, and often ignored

Jun. 1, 2009

Yeah, I know just how you feel. The thought of cleaning my garage makes me depressed, too.
