It would be a cruel April Fool’s Day joke to declare these kitchen cabinets trendy and beautiful.

Horribly designed by builder John F. Long in the 1960s and 1970s.

Found in west Phoenix (Maryvale area) and northeast Phoenix.

They are great dust, grease, and grime collectors.

We’re hoping the buyers of these homes will replace the cabinets when renovating.

Dirty, neglected home in Casa Grande, Arizona.  It’s a good idea to change your air filters once a month.  Otherwise, dirt and dust spread around your house, as seen around the ceiling vent.

There is a lot of potential here.

You’ll need to take a shower after taking a shower in this dirty bathroom.

Are there any clean walls in this house?
