Ugly House Photos

HGTV is launching a new TV show this summer about Mad Men who create their own window drapes:  The Drapes of Wrath.  It’s hosted by Don Draper’s cousin Don Drapery.

Here’s a pretty pastel window design in Sun City West, Arizona.

This Boone, North Carolina owner must have spent days decorating the kitchen just so.  Down to the most minute detail.  It’s perfect for a country museum or shabby chic store, but when selling?

She (over)decorated the bedroom too.

Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?  Who wants the TV turned off for the real estate photos?  We do.  It’s our final answer.  [Trenton, New Jersey]

TV is still on.  Different angle.

Four photos of the TV are enough.  Turn it off.  Hint, hint.

Time to celebrate the beauty of home design & architecture from the 1950s.  Today we’d like to share a beautiful vintage 1955 home in Denver, Colorado.

Timeless and classic.

Floor to ceiling windows.

Fireplaces were often the center of attention in 1950s home design.

The wood walls and ceiling look brand new.  Obviously, the owner took great care of this home.

Kudos for the owner for maintaining the style and condition of the home.  We appreciate it.

[Note: this home sold recently.  We hope the new owner enjoys it for many decades.]
