Be dramatic.

To ensure complete privacy, close the bathroom door, hide behind a curtain and behind a frosted glass door.

Get a very heavy and dark shower curtain to block out the light.

Go retro.

Be cool.

Create a theme.

Monkey around. [Somerset, Kentucky]

A few days ago, we posted a photo of a taxidermy hoard, with a polar bear and dozens of dead animals.
We have two more photos to share, thanks to Cory Chalmers of 1-800-Hoarders.com. For anyone who’s seen the Hoarders TV show (airing on Monday nights on A&E TV; season finale this Monday, February 4th), you’ll recognize Cory as their clean-out expert. Cory runs his own clean-up service Steri-Clean Inc. (aka 1-800-Hoarders).
At a recent cleaning job, Cory was surprised to see this in the bathroom.

He also saw this hoard of dead animals in another room. The owner put a crown on the lion; King of the Jungle. And the owner is now officially King of the Idiots.

It’s best not to show your reflection in real estate promotional photos. And if you have time, please remove the items from the vanity and close the toilet seat lid.

You, too, sir. Please stay out of the mirror’s reflection.

This poor photo requires too much energy from a buyer to figure out it’s a bathroom.

This is the only photo for this Tolleson, Arizona home. The sellers don’t want buyers to see what it looks like on the outside or the inside.

Poorly stitched together panoramic photos make cabinets look damaged and rooms and floors look uneven.

Amateur home design with window coverings is getting out of control. Drapes on top of drapes on top of drapes. And then an extra pink curtain on top for dramatic effect.

Same Surprise, Arizona home as above. More drapes on top of drapes in the master bedroom. If this is a design trend, make it stop.

Oh, no. More drapes on top of window blinds in an Apache Junction, Arizona home.

Oh, come on! More??!!?! [Mesa, Arizona]

Why even bother putting up the drapes? [another Mesa home]

At a loss for words with this one. [Avondale, Arizona]

The photo’s caption reads: Garage. We are squinting our eyes and it’s still not looking like a garage.

They’ve ignored the problem for quite some time in this Mesa, Arizona bathroom.

Clash of the patterns.

The kitchen could use some help.


The floor was swept.

The door was slammed into the wall. A fist was punched into the door.

A fresh coat of paint will help.

Garbage day is tomorrow.

These animal murals might not be perfect, but none were killed in real life.

Sure to tick off PETA, for sure. Dozens of killed and stuffed animals in a Cave Creek, Arizona home, none of which seem to be part of regulated population control. The photo’s caption reads, “Trophy Room.” Trophy for what? Biggest animal killer? The dead polar bear is sure to upset some buyers. They might tell the seller to get stuffed. [click on photo to expand] Thank you, Lori, for sending us this disturbing photo.

Visual clutter in a Kirksville, Missouri home.

Chaos in the kitchen.

Dusty liquor bottles and smelly shoes.

The den of storage.
