There's clearly a carbon monoxide leak or something

Kinda want to see what it looked like with their furnishings. It’s funny how much a normal toilet stands out!

23

Same here! They definitely put a fair amount of deliberate work into that aesthetic, and I'd love to see how they decorated and furnished some of those rooms.

At first I thought, "I could live with that, get creative on changing stuff for cheap." But it kept getting worse and worse and worse.

I'd still love to own that property.

I mean right it’s weird and not what I would do. But you know that the person who did it was in love with idea and it’s nice to see that kind of passion.

Well of course, if it was made from Linux it would leak everywhere since it's open source. You gotta have closed source to keep the water in, hence the Windows.

Or maybe I'm just confused

Maybe I just have bad taste but at least half of this type of “eclectic” style I actually like. Some of it is just trashy and gaudy, but some of it is just more interesting to look at than regular old “house” style

The interior looks like a trendy, wannabe-upscale Mexican restaurant staffed entirely by hipsters who don't know how to make good Mexican food.

That driftwood in the lights, picture 19. Really tied the room together.

It’s like someone took everything they found free on FBM and used it to renovate. Sprinkle in the cheapest HD had available and discount mis-mixed paint, as available.

It’s a shame, the outside looks promising.

Did anyone else watch "Monster House" on the discovery channel in the late 90s/early 00s? They did this kind of stuff all the time.

I think the majority of this is ATBGE. I believe except for a room or two that the previous owner was very happy with the way things looked. I just don’t think anyone else wants to live with those vibes and the cost of renovating that to something more generally appealing is going to be outrageous.

There's like two pictures here where "good execution" may apply, but the vast majority of this house is just awful taste and depressing.

6

This looks like someone goes to a lot of punk shows and was really inspired by the aesthetic. I've seen this style in too many local bar/concert halls. Not enough sharpie writing and stickers in the bathroom though

3

I actually can't believe they're trying to sell that place for that much. Ritzville has literally nothing going on and it's in the middle of nowhere.

To be fair, most houses of that size out here would go for more like 500k. But since it's in a really rural location and is a fixer-upper, it's much cheaper

Well at least it seems to be able to function as a normal home and be neither dangerous or too uncomfortable (if you're blind). What's up with the white sploches on the black though ?

1

That's a lot of patches though, which raises even more questions !

1

what's with the wheels on the counters in the bathroom that very much seem to be anchored to the walls?

This is what happens when you let millennial art majors refurbish a house using all the leftover materials from their failed millennial burger joint.
