Nothing like having a barn indoors.

Pink flamingos!

Crop duster?  Or is it going to drop a bomb on the kid?

Seems like an easy fix.  Just clear off the doodads from the fireplace.  [Mesa, Arizona]

Looks like we’re going to need more time to clear out the rest of the room.

Christmas clutter in Houston, Texas.  The elephant is supposed to help them not to forget to clean up the room and fireplace before selling.

Retired - Gone Fishing.  Hey, wait!  Don’t go before you clear off the fireplace first!  [Phoenix]

Huh??  [Glendale, Arizona]

It’s clutter free, but you can only burn one piece of wood at a time.  [Gettysburg, Pennsylvania]

We’re seeing fewer and fewer of these monstrous kitchen cabinets (placed in builder John F. Long homes back in the 1970s).

Nice new cabinets are needed here.

It can’t be a piece of cake to remove all the dust from the nooks & crannies.

Ugly cabinets.  Some painted, some not painted.  Avocado green range/oven.  Foil in the window.  Old refrigerator with coils (great dust collectors in Phoenix).

We can’t seem to keep pets out of real estate photos.  Now sellers are bragging about their pets.

This is Luci from Surprise, Arizona, per the photo’s caption.  How many buyers want to see that?

This photo’s caption reads, “Just because he’s so cute.”  From Glendale, Arizona.  We’re not making it up.

This is Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown’s house?  He’s “meaner than a junkyard dog.”  “He got a custom Continental.  He got an Eldorado too.”  [Phoenix]

Do we have to see that half of the dog?  The seller’s name is Seymour Butz?  [Mesa, Arizona]

Two dogs and a cat.  [Mesa, Arizona]

Cat nap in Olean, New York.

Express yourself with paint.  Splash all over the wood floor too.  [Lancaster, Pennsylvania]

Unfinished paint installation.  [Lancaster, Ohio]

The stripes are fairly even.  The blue is sloppy at the bottom.  [Findlay, Ohio]

No one wants to see brown streaks or stripes in a bathroom.  [Glendale, Arizona]

At least they didn’t use brown paint!!  [Phoenix]

Faux brick!  [Mesa, Arizona]

Sponge worthy?  [Chandler, Arizona]

That must have taken forever.  A roller would have been quicker and nicer.  [Phoenix]

Since wallpaper seems to last forever, the wallpaper designs will remain popular forever too.

Forget today’s trendy glass back splashes; brighten up your kitchen with flowers.

This pattern is recommended by eye doctors.  They want the extra business.

Sailing, sailing, over the ocean blue.

Just like living in a meadow.  With gnomes, butterflies, and deer!

Mix and match patterns.

Why are people in real estate promotional photos?

Are they planning their staging strategy for this home?  “You take the bookcase.  I’ll do the other areas.”

“I can’t decide if I should work out, watch TV, or help mom get the house ready to sell.”

“Gosh, if my foot didn’t hurt, I’d take down the Christmas tree and lights.”

This photo’s caption reads, “Maureen At Star.”  Short for Starbucks?  We’re not sure why this photo was included with the listing.  She’s nowhere near the house.  And she is not the listing agent nor the owner/seller.

“Mommy, I’ll get Rover out of the way while you go find the missing chandelier globe.”

“I really dig your tie-dye shirt.”

Estelle asked her grandson three times to get off the couch and turn off the TV.

Fifi needs to go out.  [Olean, New York]
