Ugly House Photos

Lots of random items, dirty carpet, and loose cabinet knob in a Frenchtown, New Jersey family room.  Could have been a really cozy looking fireplace setting with proper home staging.  Missed opportunity.

Another hidden fireplace due to visual distractions.  [Phoenix]

And another Phoenix family room that does not highlight the fireplace.

Lots of baseball caps and other junk in a Tempe, Arizona family room.

A little bit of everything in this Sun City, Arizona family room.

Is this what they mean by no arm intended?

Her arm is pointing to the cluttered closet.

This lady’s arms are very soft, thanks to her water softener.

He’s got at least one good arm available to chop down that dead tree.

She used to throw up her arms in disbelief over her son’s hat collection.  Now she’s given up.

Her arm is hopefully reaching for that unfolded towel.  And the photographer’s arm is seen in the mirror!

Oh, good.  She removed the towel and washcloth.  But why did they include the previous photo?
