Ugly House Photos

At least in the top 5 tackiest bedrooms ever, right?  Check out the shiny multi-colored multi-layered bed and the frilly crap on top of the brass poles.  Plus fake vines.  And a gold frame mirror to complete the picture.

Here’s another bedroom with lots of clutter.  See if you can locate the following:  a bust, a fuzzy ball, a boom box, ugly faux paint, a zebra trash can, a pencil drawing of hands (why?), a tasseled lampshade, a stupid Gorman painting, and a globe.

An incredibly over-the-top living room.  How can you see with all that stuff going on?  There’s a fireplace in there somewhere.

And finally another bedroom with a bed made of copper pipes!

This Phoenix home needs a bulldozer quick.  It’s a bank-owned foreclosure property.  They tried selling it before with no luck.  It’s back on the market again as you see it here.  No curb appeal.  The covered parking was converted into living space (one of my real estate pet peeves).

The previous owner got mad and destroyed the house (another real estate pet peeve).

The Incredible Hulk walked through the walls in anger.

And then he destroyed the kitchen.

I researched this house to see if it looked any better before it was destroyed.  I found this photo of the kitchen from about seven months earlier when the kitchen was almost in decent shape. 

I also saw this photo of the bathroom and recognized it from one of my earlier posts seen here.  No wonder the house didn’t sell the first time.  This bathroom is disgusting.

Methinks the seller of this Phoenix used to live in Cleveland.  Hmmm.  Wonder why?  Cleveland Browns football blanket.  Cleveland Indians baseball pennant.  Cleveland Browns football pennant.  Cleveland something* basketball pennant (they have an NBA team?).  And they also have an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball pennant.

*I googled Cleveland NBA and found Cavaliers.  You learn something new every day.

This Phoenix living room screams out 1980s & 1990s with its yellow pastel paint, geometric tile design, and overused cherub angel wallpaper border.

*Seemed like one in two households had one of these paintings in the 1990s?

Give it a D for curb appeal, an F for landscaping, and a D- for the carport.  Failing grades.

Unbelievably ugly Phoenix home, starting in the family room.  What possessed the seller to paint around the fireplace?  What about the ugly outdated saltillo tile floor?

Next stop:  the ugly kitchen with ugly black & white tile and black painted cabinets.

The master bedroom.  The original photo was so dark; it’s been lightened +100 so shows a little distorted.  But you have to see the glue marks where they pulled off the mirror tiles!

And the front of the house with weeds and ugly arches.

It was a toss-up of which photo to place first.  This one won out because it led to a better post title.  Check out the outdated furnishings of this Phoenix home’s living room.  Everything is vanilla or cream colored.  And those drapes!

The family room features a nice fireplace, but the room is cluttered.

Here’s a delightful bedroom with fresh flowers to cheer you up.

You go from cheerful to dismal when you visit the master bedroom.  Have you seen a more depressing room?  It’s like Silence of the Lambs.

Must be a new technique in bad home staging:  place one chair in the far corner of a room and call it furnished.  Yesterday’s post was titled Lonely Rocker Chair In the Corner.  And then I stumbled upon this gem of a photo.  This is the actual photo used to promote the sale of a Phoenix home.  The original size has not been changed.  Get out your magnifying glass.  All of the other photos were this size too.

Is there anything appealing about this Phoenix home?  The ugly arches, the ugly paint color, the ugly dead tree stump, the ugly sections of concrete in the front yard, the ugly stone facade, ugly landscaping, ugly gravel, etc.  There’s no driveway or covered parking either.  And look how close the house is to the lot lines.
