Ugly House Photos

This now becomes the Suit of Armor House in the minds of buyers.  Too bad.  The fireplace, the vaulted ceiling, and the open floor plan look like nice features.  Let’s put away Sir Galahad, the fake plants, and the other assorted items.  With that skylight sending in natural light, they could have added some chairs by the fireplace and created a cool reading area.

Looks like a nice living room with nice flooring.  Let’s remove the family photos and fake flowers.  And the pillows on the windowsills.  Could someone please get the kid at the front door?  Thanks.

How about waking up the kid on the couch?  Gold lamé drapes.

Spiderman!!  Pokeman too!

Having an item that doesn’t match the room’s function confuses buyers.  This is the formal dining room of a Glendale, Arizona home.  You could put a table cloth over it and seat 10?

Same house.  Was it necessary to include the big red ball?

Analog TVs don’t even work anymore unless they have a special converter box.  The plastic chairs are cheaper than sofas and they’re perfect for book club meetings.
