Cluttered Den

August 18th, 2010 · 1 Comment

It’s either a den, an enclosed patio, a sunroom, or whatever.  It’s cluttered with lights, hats, and personal stuff.

Same home.
You’re supposed to roll out the carpet for guests, not roll up the carpet.  The rest of the patio looks great.

Hats!!!

July 2nd, 2010 · 2 Comments

Hats galore at this Phoenix home.  Do they really need a hat rack in the family room?  Notice they have a motion sensor on the wall just in case a thief tries to steal those precious hats.

Over in the next room, we’ve got peacock feathers, an exercise ball, a giant cage for a giant dog (sure to scare buyers), a gallon of water, a plastic container labeled “books” with no books in it, and an electric bill.

Lubbock, Texas - Where the Deer & Antelope Play

January 18th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Stuffed antelope on the wall of this Lubbock, Texas home office.  Lots of personal belongings all over.  Gigantic armoire.  Makes the room look small.

Another gigantic armoire in the baby’s room.

Interesting flooring.  Pair of shoes at the entrance.  My 1960 house had those copper shovel door handles too.  They updated the oven & stove so why not spend $150 on new peel-and-stick vinyl floor tiles and new door handles?

Office Space

October 17th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Somewhere among the mess are some overdue TPS reports.  They might look under the red Swingline stapler.  He/she must be very busy; he/she has two calendars.  Notice that the chair is being used as a coffee table.

Plane Cluttered

September 10th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Too much going on in this home office.  Someone needs to lift a finger (off the camera lens) and clear out 80% of the stuff.

Another angle.  More stuff.

Gone Fishin’

September 4th, 2009 · 5 Comments

It’s Labor Day weekend and many people are off to the lake to enjoy some fishin’.  Looks like these home sellers forgot to take their fishing equipment with them.  Best they pack it all away before selling.  Too much clutter and confusion.  Spare the rod, spoil the sale.

Beverly Hillbillies’ House In Escalon, California

July 19th, 2009 · 13 Comments

Escalon, California is located in the middle of nowhere in the northern central valley of California.  Escalon’s city motto is The City of Peaches and Cream.

Here’s a 5,000 square feet custom home built in 2007 that not quite all peaches and cream.  It’s listed at $900,000.  But doesn’t look like $900,000 thanks to The Clampetts living there.

For $900,000, you’d expect a paved driveway and landscaping, right?

At the front door, buyers are greeted by a child’s toy car, dirt, and an unrolled hose.

One of the dumbest master bathrooms ever.  Whether it’s a luxury home or a trailer, don’t you think it’s a good idea to install mirrors over the sinks?!  Oh, and if you’re sitting down, how can you see yourself in the mirror?

Old versus new in the family room.  New flat screen TV next to an old analog TV that’s blocking the fireplace.  Why would you keep an old TV?  So you can play “Pong”?

Junky office.

Junk piled up under the counter.

Clutter all over the back patio.  A dog in the photo.  A $50 BBQ grill.  Lots of dirt.  No pool.  No landscaping.  All this for $900,000.
