NFSWednesday: Rec Room of the Line

Sara — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 12:00:54 +0000

Sorry, but today is Wednesday and this home theater / gunroom is Not For Sale. Not for sale, you say… so… you’ll just have to board the Palm Beach, Fla. home yourself and claim it as your own. Arrr! To the gunwales! Hoist the Jolly Chair! No mercy! I’ll take my popcorn with miso butter! Take what you can! There be gold in those end tables!

Rugs on the Move

Sara — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:00:40 +0000

Cold after their bath, the rugs crept through the house to huddle by the fireplace…

…where, sadly, they realized their lack of opposable thumbs (and highly flammable nature) made it impossible for them to light it. Who will help?

Chairturday! Chair is outside because there’s no room inside

Sara — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 12:00:52 +0000

What’s that, Chair?

There’s something you want us to see inside? Well, okay, if you feel that strongly about it… Oooh! Look!

MULTI-SINK! Which goes a long way towards explaining how a 1,094 square foot house can have three bedrooms and a bathroom: they all just kind of ooooch together. Or maybe the toilet and the bathroom sink are just socializing in the kitchen, but will be returning to their own room any minute now.

Where’d they go?

Eeeek! The room has no walls! It just… ends. Invisibly.

Spooooky.

$75M DIY

Sara — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 12:00:15 +0000

I’ll buy it and leave it just like this. I’ve always found drywall and finished floors to be a little pretentious, n’est-ce pas?

Creeping Black Death

Here’s a question for you. Is the moist stain on its way in to the house — or on its way out?

Loveliest comment, by bryn: Eeeee, proof of spontaneous human combustion! Obviously someone moved the single remaining shoe (there always seems to be a totally unsinged shoe left behind) before taking the photo, but still

Dog Bomb

Sara — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 12:00:01 +0000

When I moved into my house, the previous owners helpfully left behind a folder with local take-out menus and the like. Seeing as they’d had two large dogs, I think a photo like this could’ve been useful, too — that way it might not have taken me over a week to track down all the deposits the dogs had left behind. Look! Right there! That’s one of his favorite spots.

Iron butterflies

Oh no! The weight of the butterflies caused the house sink into the ground until only the roof remained visible. How tragic.

Loveliest comment, by jim-bob: This house is located in Gulf Breeze, Florida. Now, for those of you who have never heard of it, it was the location of a rash of UFO sightings a few years ago. An A frame is sort of like a pyramid, so this house was obviously built and furnished by aliens looking to use it’s pyramidal shape and butterfly wallpaper to induce a mind control vortex and take over the local population. Sadly, the aliens did not have the greatest of credit due to their lack of employment history on this planet, and ended up getting a sub-prime loan with an adjustable rate. it wound up getting foreclosed on by a force greater than their technology- the collapse of the US economy. Thus we see it offered here, waiting to be used by a new owner in their quest for world domination.
