Looks like a nice living room with nice flooring.  Let’s remove the family photos and fake flowers.  And the pillows on the windowsills.  Could someone please get the kid at the front door?  Thanks.

How about waking up the kid on the couch?  Gold lamé drapes.

Spiderman!!  Pokeman too!

Bad paint job.

These five fireplaces are sure to motivate buyers to purchase.

The wood paneling and mirrors used to excite buyers.  Back in 1974.

The tile and window drapes distract you from the goalpost fireplace.

Uninspiring fireplace.  Broken mirror.  Wood paneling covered in red paint.

Custom tile surround.  The entertainment/media niche is dirty and chipped.

These three media niches should keep you entertained.

Is that a bell in the upper right corner?

Since there’s no dust ever in Phoenix, no need to worry about all of those shelves.
