Strange & Unusual Houses
Re: Strange & Unusual Houses of 2015
God, that's awful. All of these are. I bet it'd be great if you gutted it, but who could be bothered?
I'm also very tired, so when I read 'all these bathtubs convey' I was like, convey what? A Miss Havisham vibe?

Omg, it looks like a victorian insane asylum. That's awful!

The basin pedestal stuck out for me too. WTF?

The tin ceilings are amazing but I couldn't stand living anywhere that looked so decayed and dirty, even if it wasn't. I love some of the touches, but that place would have to be completely redecorated.

The encrusted basin pedestal would catch all the bathroom grime. Pubes a plenty.

Oh it really would. And if there were any small boys in the house it would have a mist of urine too. Even if it was 2 miles from the toilet.

Urghhhh that place is revolting. She's actually painted it to look mouldy! And there's carpet on the kitchen walls!.....erghhh. It makes me itch just looking at it.

I quite like looking at it but I don't want to live there. It looks like Mrs Haversham lives there.
Re: Strange & Unusual Houses of 2015
How could you tell when it was clean or when it was dirty? Would you ever know if you missed a spot?

I got bored eventually but not before clocking the hideous pedestal sink, the filthy ceilings and the floral arch in the garden with the decapitated head of a statue poking out of it.
And all that fucking yellowed knitwork hanging about just looks like tar-stained cobwebs to me. In fact I can't help thinking the whole thing is designed to try and make the house of an 80-a day smoker look retro instead of disgusting.

I looked at the clothing website as well, it was very flowery.
Re: Strange & Unusual Houses of 2015
Speaking of flowery... nice understated wallpaper here.

It actually might be the visual representation of the hormonal headaches I get sometimes.

I actually can't focus on it properly. It's really horrible

I like that they've hung a couple of pictures, as if you could ever focus on them.
