Matchy matchy in Paterson, New Jersey.

The quilting bee accidentally did LSD? Phoenix home.

Popular in the 80s and 90s, another bedspread from Paterson, New Jersey. Is the window blind upside down?

Three kitchens that are trying to win over buyers.
Step-saver kitchen for sure. Not a lot of upper cabinets, seems cramped, and where does the refrigerator go?

Red is an energetic color that supposedly stimulates the appetite but ends up suppressing a buyer’s appetite for this home.

Someone thought it was cool to make the cabinets look old and tired and dirty.

Toilet tank cozy!! It keeps the water warm, right? Or absorbs tank sweating on high humidity days? Paterson, New Jersey home.

The toilet’s a bit too close to the sink. Would your knees touch the sink? From another Paterson, New Jersey home.

Looks nice and all, but where do you put the soap? From a Paradise Valley, Arizona home.

Three more examples of graffiti.
Hoodlums broke into this vacant home and tagged it.

Sure to scare away buyers. What impression does it give buyers about the neighborhood?

Practically graffiti considering the amount of scribbling here.

You have to hope potential buyers are Arizona Cardinals, Arizona Diamondbacks, or Phoenix Suns fans. A little too taste specific when selling. Does this make it a Cardinal sin?

Things you don’t want to hear in a bathroom:
“It’s the bottom of the 9th and bases are loaded.”
“Swisheroo for two.”
“He goes for the Hail Mary pass and the crowd goes wild.”
“He’s going for the extra point.”
“He missed the rim by a mile.”
“Foul ball!”

I visited this home this week and thought it was really cool. Vintage 1950s in pristine, immaculate condition. Same owner for 56 years. You can tell she cared for her home.
Hall bathroom with hanging swag lamps and velvet flocked wallpaper.

The wallpaper looks brand new.

The master bathroom has yellow wallpaper.

Retro window drapes in the dining room (seen here) and living room. Believe it or not, not one speck of dust.

Vintage 1950s kitchen with Thermador range. Gotta love those wide coils.

Well maintained kitchen after all these years.

The kitchen, however, has lattice & vine wallpaper on the ceiling.

Help the unemployed. Hire someone to remove the weeds.

Must not be a priority for this seller either.
