Plastic covered furniture brings out a mix of fond memories and embarrassment for some people.  We found more at this Louisville, Kentucky home:  green and gold couches with heavy plastic protective covers.  Enjoy.

The Jungle House In Swarthmore, Pennsylvania

February 1st, 2010 · 5 Comments

This Swarthmore, Pennsylvania home is so over the top that it’s at the bottom again.  Look at all the stuff piled up around the fireplace?

There’s a banana tree painted on the wall.  In fact, the entire wall is painted to look like a block wall with arches.  Plastic covered sofa!

December 26th, 2009 · 5 Comments

More over-the-top home décor in a Casa Grande, Arizona home.  Tea-stained walls.  French country chic with requisite rooster.  Yuk.

Words like brocade, tromp l’oeil, fleur de lis, olde world charm, etc. get used a lot to fluff up room descriptions.

Just shoot me.

They might bolster this room’s appeal to more buyers by toning down the French whore house look.
