Ugly House Photos

Creative painting in 3 homes.  Inspired?

How many triangles do you count?

You hardly notice the damaged carpet.

The closet too!

Which color was painted first?

When the toilet paper ran out, the sellers had to get creative.

It wasn’t applied properly.

We see you.

Looks terrible.

Soiled carpet in a bedroom.

Stained floor in this room.

Handy closet.

At least this bathroom doesn’t have wallpaper.

Dining room.

The kitchen.

The refrigerator will cover that up nicely.

Mark his words, someday white socks and sandals will be trendy.

We are treated to another photo of him.  Poor guy has to stare at the wall all day.

Put the camera down and tidy up the kitchen.

Take a step back and go get a mop please.

Please get out of the way.

We see you!

The photographer hired an assistant to help with lighting at this Houston, Texas home.

Today is Nicki Minaj’s birthday!  Yay!

Here are some helpful suggestions for taking the best real estate photos.

Don’t take close-up photos.  If the general public can’t figure out what your photo is about, then step back and retake the photo.

Don’t let yourself be seen in real estate photos.  Buyers don’t want to see the photographer.

Don’t let your photography equipment show up in real estate photos either.  Not very professional looking.

Don’t overexpose your shot.  Yes, this really is a photo used to sell a home.

Fish eye lens are creepy.  Don’t use them, especially in bathrooms.

Stay in focus.

Keep your hand steady.

Pay attention to the true horizon for a balanced shot.

This is our second post in a series of photos from a Grove City, Pennsylvania home, provided to us from an anonymous reader. We’ll look at the walls today.

Sometimes it’s difficult to tell what is a wall and what isn’t.

Looks like brick under the plaster. And more peeling paint.

Explain that.

The baseboards complement the wood paneling.

Home for the hole-idays?

And more peeling paint. Don’t eat it!

There is a recent trend to put signs up describing rooms or activities.  Please make it stop.

HOME!!!!

Are you sure it’s a home?

LAUNDRY!!  It’s a laundry room, in case you didn’t notice the washing machine and clothes dryer.  [Apache Junction, Arizona]

BATH!! It’s a bathroom!  [Apache Junction, Arizona]

EAT!!! Could those letters be any bigger?!?!

Abused kitchen.

Neglected kitchen.

Damaged kitchen.

Outdated kitchen.

It’s trendy to display guitars on walls as home décor.

Does this strike a chord with buyers?

Or will it create a sour note?

Don’t fret if buyers think it looks too busy.

Simply take the guitars down before selling.
