Someone tried to remodel their home but ran out of money or time. It’s now a bank-owned house. Here we see the master bathroom on the right. The shower has been removed (hole in the floor; concrete block wall exposed). To the left was the hall bathroom. Typical of Phoenix homes in the 1960s & 1970s, hall bathrooms were bigger than master bathrooms; kids got the bathtub.
Pan to the left and you’ll see the remains of a bedroom and its tiny closet (white tile outline). Let’s hope they didn’t remove any load-bearing walls.
What’s worse? The paint color, the swinging light, or the mirror in the master bedroom?
Ugly wall patch job. Weatherstripping will help keep the sunlight from entering the door.

And the walls come tumblin’ down.
Those had to be some load-bearing walls. The whole width of the house is exposed now. The next pics will show a sagging ceiling and cracks in the walls.

That pink color is so….so…. 1948. Back then, they would paint one wall pink, the adjacent wall green, and so on. Of course, the green had to be a shade that was equally repugnant. I thought this color was dead and buried!

Actually the colors look modern. I don’t see any pink. More of a red rust. The tannish color is good too. I’ll vote for hating the mirror and lamps.
