Messy bedroom in Mesa, Arizona.  Roller skates under the bed.

Organized chaos on the right side of the room.  Better to pack most of it away first.

If you thought the fire pit in the previous post was awesome, you’re sure to love this one at a Mesa, Arizona home.  You can sit down on the camper shell and throw your beer cans wherever you like.  Hopefully hot coals from the fire won’t escape and catch the dead grass on fire.

Lots of pine needles and more beer cans on the side yard out front.  Ever heard of a rake?

Sparkling clean swimming pool.  Are you getting a sense of how much the sellers care about their home?

A close-up of the cluttered kitchen counter.

It takes too much energy to wash dishes and put them away.  The faucet’s getting rusty.

Close-up of the stove that’s not turned on.  Putting plastic on top of the stove burner is a safety hazard.

A close-up of the front door.  Folks, these are actual photos of this home.  They have not been cropped.  The photographer chose to take close-up photos, thinking it would excite buyers.

They sponge painted the entertainment niche.

This is a Mesa, Arizona home with a real TV in the media niche.  They bought the couches to match the floor tile.

So much for enjoying the fireplace.

Extra fancy.  Slots for the speakers.  Electric outlets & switches.  Spot lights.

We’re really stretching to find Halloween decorations in homes for sale.  It’s as if no one decorated this year; this is all we could find.  Here’s a Mesa, Arizona home with minimal Halloween decorations:  a witch on the ceiling and pumpkin decals in the front window.

A skeleton in the upper left corner of the bedroom.  Along with a towel used as a curtain, nunchucks in the corner, a pink lamp with no lampshade, a smiley face whoopie cushion, smiley face pajamas, and a Valentine’s Day stuffed animal.  As Carrie’s mom said in the classic horror movie Carrie, “I can see your dirty pillows.”

The master bedroom.  It’s easier to see your clothes if you take away the closet doors.

Pan a bit to the right and you’ll see more clothes.

Two examples of big banners used to promote the sale of a house.  The first one is for a home in Mesa, Arizona.  This is the main photo.  We might be interested in it if we could see what it looked like first.

The open house banner really catches your eye.  Unless it’s an invitation to burglars and they’ve unlocked the doors.

These two homes are so far from the street, you’ll need a shuttle to reach them.  The first one’s in Phoenix.

This one’s in Mesa, Arizona.

Heavy patterns are used in this Mesa, Arizona home.  Dark patterned carpet conflicts with the dark brick wall.

Wallpaper with a heavy pattern dominates the dining room.  The large heavy furniture makes the dining room feel small and cramped.

Dark patterned sofa plus more furniture make the living room feel dark and cramped too.
