Just discovered this mural in a Tempe, Arizona home. It has a Dr. Seuss theme. We’re putting this in the “not ugly” category because of the quality. But it could still be a turn-off to buyers. You’d feel guilty about painting over it. Let’s look at the room from left to right.

The Lorax!


If that’s painted by hand, wow.

Faux stain/sponge/rag roll painting seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Very dark and dominating.

Then they stained the kitchen cabinets. But that’s not the worst part. Wait ’til you see…

…what they did in the bathroom shower!!!! As bad as it looks, we hope they used paint rather than ____.

Might have to put some items away before selling. Just a suggestion. Like lingerie and the fuzzy dice. Oh, and the stupid knotted curtain.

Refrigerator stuff, chili peppers, Mickey Mouse, plates, extra stuff on top of the microwave, etc. Why is the microwave so high?

The Mardi Gras masks and the assorted clutter on the counters.

You’ll see in the next photos that the house appears to be clean, but the photos don’t do any justice. Too many visual distractions in each photo.

Organized but…

More unnecessary stuff.

Proper lighting helps.

Your eyes don’t know where to go when there are distractions.

The collectibles keep your eyes from noticing the faux rolled paint.

Maybe it’s the angle of the photo?

Foil in the windows. Different types of window coverings. An unnecessary hat dead center in the photo.

Random shoes, dusty fan, more foil.

Big blue plastic flower and other distractions in the office.

Visual clutter outside.

Sounds like we’re being really picky, but when you add all of the photos together, it gets confusing to buyers. What do you remember about the house?

Attention to detail needed.
