Ugly House Photos

HGTV is launching a new TV show this summer about Mad Men who create their own window drapes:  The Drapes of Wrath.  It’s hosted by Don Draper’s cousin Don Drapery.

Here’s a pretty pastel window design in Sun City West, Arizona.

Country realness in Boone, North Carolina.

Bed Sheet & Beyond in Glendale, Arizona.

Layers of lovely lace in Hickory, North Carolina.

Pretty in pink in Surprise, Arizona.

And seen again in the living room.

And then they went with a bold pattern in the kitchen.

The Office TV show officially ended its run after 9 seasons.  Should any of these offices be terminated due to clutter?

This Apache Junction, Arizona office features pizza slices.  The books are piled so high, they are almost blocking the air conditioning vent.  And as a bonus, we get to see the cat’s behind.

This Glendale, Arizona office hasn’t seen the light of day in many years.  The owner would rather go fishing.

This Mesa, Arizona office is actually organized, but it’s still visually distracting.

An entertainment center is repurposed as a book shelf in this Wickenburg, Arizona home office.

Welcome to our Hickory, North Carolina home.  Please wipe your feet.  Thank you.

Your friends will be green with envy if you buy this green Trenton, New Jersey home.

Some fresh paint and new vinyl and this place will be good to go.

This Boone, North Carolina owner must have spent days decorating the kitchen just so.  Down to the most minute detail.  It’s perfect for a country museum or shabby chic store, but when selling?

She (over)decorated the bedroom too.

This Chandler, Arizona home is ready for buyers to visit.  They’ve staged the home professionally.  Expecting multiple offers above asking price.

Visitors can pick out a coffee cup to take as a thank you gift.

Washer & dryer are included.  Hangers are negotiable.

There’s so much counter space in the kitchen.  Feel free to cover every square inch.

Power drill not included.  Cow?  Maybe.

Fine dining.

Spacious bathroom.

What’s not to like?

Nice bedroom.

Lush landscaping.

Covered patio.

Rather than ask the child to leave the room before taking the photo, the seller later added a bubble over his/her kid’s face.  The Christmas tree is still up.  And the trash needs to be taken outside.

The master bedroom could use some tidying up.

Dirty laundry is not attractive.

TV’s on!

TV’s off!  Thank you.

One of my favorite Simpsons episodes is the Valentine’s Day episode where Ralphie gives Lisa a Valentines card.  He explains it to her, “It says I choo-choose you and it’s a picture of a train.”

Here’s a stained glass picture of a train in Sun City, Arizona.  Will you choo-choose this house to buy?

When buyers search for homes on-line, they screen out those they don’t want to see.  Mostly based on photos.  You only get a few seconds to excite a potential buyer.  This Sun Lakes, Arizona seller was too scared to go out onto the patio?

Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?  Who wants the TV turned off for the real estate photos?  We do.  It’s our final answer.  [Trenton, New Jersey]

Oprah is interviewing Lance Armstrong.  [Mesa, Arizona]

TV is still on.  Different angle.

Four photos of the TV are enough.  Turn it off.  Hint, hint.
