When the house was purchased in June 2006, the yard was empty.

She paid $161,000 for this house.

Fill ‘er up.

Sad.

What happened to this house? It doesn’t get better.

Home decorating trend in 2012? Tied or knotted window drapes.
From a Garden City, Kansas. Tres chic lace curtains.

Must be fun untying and retying these every night. Glendale, Arizona home.
