Ugly House Photos

At the end of a long day, you just want to sit and relax on your patio.

Maybe invite some friends over too.

Looks like weed killer on the table, but the weeds are growing like, uh, weeds.

This Lodi, California home can be yours if the price is right.  Here we see Susannah modeling the home for us.

Built in 1963, this home boasts 8,500 square feet of living space, seven bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, six fireplaces, three floors, and an elevator!

Check out that light!  Octopus gone wild!

Truly one of a kind.

Renee is proudly showing us the living room.

You never know when you’ll need a full-size table in your bedroom.

Jackpot!

It serves as a wedding chapel on weekends?

This kitchen was considered modern in its day.

Beanbag chairs are included.

More visual distractions in this room.  Thank you, Ken, for sending the photos.

June 14th is Flag Day in America.  The American flag is flown proudly.  Except for a few bad apples.

Disrespectful regard for the American flag.

These people are using the flag as a dust cover for their computer keyboard.

Used as a window curtain?!!?  Tacky.  And it’s backwards too.  [Wickenburg, Arizona]

When displaying the American flag, the blue field should always be to the upper left.  The following people are not aware of this protocol.

The photographer could have removed the flag for the photo.

Wrong.  [Bedford, Indiana]

Hopefully he’s on his way to correct his mistake.  [Gettysburg, Pennsylvania]

No, let’s not lean a chair onto the backwards American flag.  [Lufkin, Texas]

Let’s pledge to display the flag correctly.  [Trenton, New Jersey]

Let’s not place dolls and stuffed animals on top of the flag either.  [Washington, New Jersey]

And finally, this one from Frenchtown, New Jersey.

Short sale sellers couldn’t take the time to pick up their junk.

They left it behind for the buyer to deal with.

Which lowered the sale price for the house.

Which then lowered the sale price for the neighborhood.

Suggestion:  ask a friend or neighbor or real estate agent to help out.

Um, if the seller could just remove one item from this bedroom, which item would you choose?

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania home with too much stuff.  It’s not full-on hoarding and not dirty, just very cluttered.

The kitchen isn’t that bad, but you’ll see, as the photos go on and on, how much stuff is there.  By the way, there are 2 stoves in this photo.

And here’s a third stove!  Macramé!

It makes your eyes go all over.

So many pillows, they’ve spilled onto the floor!

Rugs, mismatched furniture, and a mirror in the corner.

More rugs!!  It looks like the floor is caving in on the left.  The end table is leaning against the wall!

Visual clutter everywhere.  More macramé.

The owl lamp is a real hoot!  Another macramé hanging.

There’s stuff everywhere.

Bedroom with more rugs.

This might be a combination bedroom, office, bathroom, and laundry room.  It looks like there’s a toilet behind the blue curtain on the middle right.  All those chairs.  Do you sit and wait your turn for the toilet?

Good grief.  How many towels do you need?  I count at least 20 towels!  And 5 scrubby pads.

Make it stop!  It’s giving me a headache.  It’s overwhelming.

Bonus room with lots of stuff.

Crafts room.

Giant mirror in the corner.  More rugs.  More clutter.

It would take a week to dust everything in this house.

Make it stop.  I need to close my eyes and declutter my brain.

Knotted window curtains again.  Ugh.  Make it stop.  [Mesa, Arizona]

Now it’s trendy to make fat knots?  [Phoenix]

And then really big knots??!?!  [Lancaster, Ohio]

And now people are braiding their curtains?  [Boone, North Carolina]

Here’s how the curtains look like after they are unknotted.  [Chandler, Arizona]

Real easy staging fix.  Got an unsightly and smelly trash can on a kitchen window sill while selling?  Grab it and move it out of the photo!

And that goes for the other trash can on the same window sill.

Because this is what buyers see when they visit your home.  A straight view of the trash.

These five family rooms need staging help quick.

Rent-a-Center repossessed the TV.  Now she can’t hide the pile of dust on the TV stand.  She hasn’t hid the ashtray full of cigarette butts either.  [Minot, North Dakota]

The bottle of bleach is not needed in this Olean, New York family room.  Just some boxes and a few hands.

Disheveled in Sun City West, Arizona.  Two old TVs.  They still work, I’d bet.

Blocking the window won’t stop buyers from seeing the mess.  [Phoenix]

Little Jimmy is proud of his hoard of toys.  See his head in the foreground?  See the dust on the ceiling fan blades?

We just posted the Tempe, Arizona house with vinyl records on the walls.  And now we find this one in Phoenix.

Bonus photo!  Cat!  And Pac Man!  And Angry Bird!  I wonder if the cat listens to DeadMau5 while working out.
