Ugly House Photos

By turkey, we mean the giant stuffed turkey, not the house.  The house looks great.  Too bad buyers will only notice and remember the turkey.

Today we add Bedspreads to the list of categories at UglyHousePhotos.com.  They are too pretty (ugly) to ignore.  We want buyers to have “oh wow” moments and not “oh my” or “oh no” moments.

The Eye of the Tiger in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Purple & green delight with matching curtains in Grand Island, Nebraska.

Camouflage bedspread in the next bedroom.

A big Nebraska Cornhusker fan in Salina, Kansas.  Shouldn’t that be found in the Grand Island house instead?

Denver Broncos bedspread and a Tasmanian Devil blanket in Pueblo, Colorado.

They have Denver Broncos window curtains in the next room.

Any fire is scary and tragic.  What makes it more poignant is when you see the personal effect it had on the home owner.  These Dayton, Ohio owners had pictures and family photos and more destroyed in the fire.

Measuring cups and other kitchen utensils.

Damaged bathroom.

Bedroom.

Basement.

The Academy Awards presented many Oscars last night.  Now it’s our turn.
In part 1 of our 1st annual real estate photo awards (the Uglies), we celebrate the minor category winners:

Best Set Designer:  The set designer is responsible for finding & placing all the items in the picture.  The Ugly goes to Rapid City, South Dakota for “Valley of the Dolls Part 2.”

Adding a dog (on the left) and finding the cancan dancer skirt/legs lamp was what sealed the win.

Best Art Direction:  The art director is responsible for supervising construction and painting of the sets.  The Ugly goes to Grand Island, Nebraska for “Finding Nemo Again.”

The same set designer created a tropical paradise in the next room of the same house.

Best Hair & Make-Up:  The Ugly goes to Peoria, Illinois for “The Lyin’, the Wig, & the Wardrobe.”

Best Short Film:  The Ugly goes to Raleigh, North Carolina for “Monster Garage - The Movie,” where they used a short film over the windows to seal in moisture, mildew, & mold.

Best Animation:  The Ugly goes to this toilet which is in a cat-egory all on its own.

Best Foreign Picture:  The Ugly goes to The Netherlands for “Onthaal Aan het Poppenhuis” (Dutch for “Welcome To the Dollhouse”).  The Heineken mini keg is a nice touch.

In part 2 of our 1st annual real estate photo awards (the Uglies), we celebrate the major category winners:

Best Picture:  The Ugly goes to Dayton, Ohio for “Beauty & the Beast” from Universal Studios.

Best Director:  The Ugly goes to Baton Rouge, Louisiana where the director had his finger on every element of the picture, literally.

Best Actress:  The Ugly goes to this Pocatello, Idaho starlet as she sashays across the room in a scene from her movie “The Blond Side.”  Better watch out, Tara Reid, there’s a new kitten in town.

Best Actor:  The Ugly goes to this young Fairbanks, Alaska actor in “SpongeBob Green Shirt.”

Best Supporting Actor:  The Ugly goes to an unknown home with crutches used to support the front porch.  A big shout-out to a very funny blog “There I Fixed It.”

Best Cinematography:  The Ugly goes to Rapid City, South Dakota for “The Ramp.”  It really makes you feel cold and miserable just looking at it.

Best Film Editing:  The Ugly goes to Roswell, New Mexico for “Now You See Him, Now You Don’t.”

Congratulations to all of our winners!

Home in The Netherlands with some repair issues?  What’s going on?!?!
1) Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water?  Are they collecting water from the shower upstairs to wash baby downstairs?
2) Collecting water from a roof leak?  All that energy spent creating a temporary fix could have been spent calling a handyman.
3) European art piece?
4) Going green and collecting rain water?

Any other ideas?

Oh, the things people do to their walls.

God’s Promise in Vineland, New Jersey.

Noah’s ark in the next room.  Are they preparing for Spring floods?

Some kind of beach scene in Flint, Michigan.

Pastoral scene in Fort Worth, Texas.

Taped on princess decals in Reno, Nevada.

Squares of colored construction paper in Great Falls, Montana.

Worcester, Massachusetts home in desperate need of remodeling (or refurbishing or renovating, depending on your part of the country).  Let’s start in the bathroom.

The bathtub & shower area need a lot of help.

The stairwell doesn’t look very good.

Spring is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate Spring than with flowery wallpaper in the bathroom.

Montgomery, Alabama.

Fort Worth, Texas.

Same Ft. Worth house, different bathroom.

Phoenix, Arizona.

Another Phoenix home.

Everyone knows an orange ring around a green circle is the universal symbol for welcoming extraterrestrials.

The radiation from the space ship causes wallpaper to peel and causes humans to paint.

Clutter is another side effect of gamma rays.
