Delicious carpet stains in front of the toilet.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 36 points 7 months ago

And the sort of moldering look of the tub you just have to kind of fall in to enter.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 18 points 7 months ago

Fully carpeted bathrooms is some truly horrific shit. What an awful, awful idea

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago

Germs are just a theory anyway

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Yo dawg give me that Blair Witch project horror look.

Interior designer: say no more fam.

Dude, 4 beds, 3 baths, 2,834 sq ft, for $259,900?! My stupid house is 2 bed, 2 bath 1,500 sq ft and it cost me $300,000. I don't give a damn about that garbage bathroom, I'd buy the shit outta that house

[–] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 68 points 7 months ago (3 children)

But you'd have to live in Iowa.

Ah good point. Nevermind then.

[–] DerArzt@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Not just in Iowa, but in Marshall Town, the largest small town an hour away from a metro area in central Iowa.

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 15 points 7 months ago

My thought too. Almost made me try to finally figure out where Iowa actually is.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

If you do make sure to take more pictures of that tub for me.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

The biggest problem with this house is that it is located in Iowa. If this place was in DC or NYC or Seattle, they'd slap some paint on it and list it for $800k

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

there's lots of more affordable housing in less popular places. this is nothing new.

except the carpeted bathroom I like this. Fuck griege, fuck minimalism this awesome.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Do you like that crazy red room even?

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yep.

The happiest house I ever lived in had a turquoise entry with azure rose pattern carpets. A different chandellier and wallpaper in each room.

Colour is wonderful, feeling something is wonderful. Nothing should fade into the background or be replaceable. If it's ignorable why does it exist? We have such a brief and largely boring and miserable time alive, let it be filled with colour and emotions.

[–] HeapOfDogs@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

So much the same. These modern gray fake hardwood floors are killing me.

[–] interrobang@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Yesssss! Maximalism is beautiful and thrift-friendly!

[–] HopingForBetter@lemmy.today 5 points 7 months ago

At first (and kind of still) I thought it was a carpeted shower. Even if it's a bathtub, it looks more like a well with carpeted stairs leading up to it.

Maybe a ladder inside would help?

[–] mynamesnotrick@lemmy.zip 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

🤢man, the 80s were wild... No thought of the future or consequences. Just what feels good! Lol

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

And cigarette smoke on every wall.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

Poor homeowner thinking their house is stupid popular with the number of views when really it’s just piling on to make fun of their design choices.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm getting old, man. All I see is yes, it needs some updating, but dropping 100k into it on top of the mortgage would make it pretty nice and it would still be cheaper (and nicer) than my place.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But do you look forward to just sort of falling into the tub? Lol.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Might make for a good prank somehow, but yeah, could also be considered a slight fall hazard, haha.

[–] Aviandelight@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Wow the interior design is just awful. I think whoever buys this is going drop a lot of money getting rid of the horrific wallpaper and carpets. And why does it look like the kitchen has three different sets of cabinets?

[–] PrimeErective@startrek.website 11 points 7 months ago

Yeah, could use some grey paint and snap-together flooring

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Just go all in and buy a T-top Trans-Am with the Phoenix painted on the hood, grow a mullet and mustache, buy VanHalen records, and those huge glasses.

Full-on live in the 80s

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Isn't that weird? Must have got some assorted cabinets at a yard sale and said fuck it and patched them all together.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

For that price where I live that place would be snatched up in a split second, interior be damned.

That said, most of that is cosmetic and can be cleaned up with some elbow grease. Been there and done that, I wouldn’t have a problem with buying it.

Besides the bathroom i'm digging the 1970's (ish) vibes.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Seems more late 80s/early 90s to me.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Now I know what our parents felt like when they corrected me about something I would casually identify as being from "idk, the 50's"

A 4/3 on a 1/3 acre lot for $260k seems pretty great, even if it's outdated.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think that's actually a tub. I think it's just a hole in the floor where the tub used to be. I'm pretty sure that's a cut off water pipe in the back lol

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Oh my that's even better.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Anyone wanna move to Iowa with me and go halfsies on this?

You might look at these pictures and suspect these are weird people, but you can’t know that for sure. That is.. until you get to the dinner table with rolling chairs. Then it’s fact.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

I'm imagining trying to cut a discount rack steak and it'd be infuriating.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

"Honey do you think we have too much brown?"

"Definitely. What we need is a murder carpet. And a single chair, for when we want to watch our victims bleed out.

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Basement has basement? Is that recursive?
