The Internet's most depressing website

I don't think the designer thought this kitchen out very well. At all. Lovely Listings has the most bizarre real estate photos ever found. And they are real. After I spend time there my house starts to look good. At least my fridge is not blocking my sink.

Thats one of those kitchens that required the small, short and fat refrigerator. That heavy varnished pine wood on the walls & cabinets makes me sick. Is this in Tennessee??? Every little thing-a-mabob in Tennessee is made of PINE! This almost looks like an old mobile home/trailer that sits in the hills someplace. Its just OLLLD! Thats all. New fridge, uh-uh, wont fit! LOL!!! A man must have done this, not thought it thru sufficiently. Def a man did this. I bet they tried to jam it in and make it fit too. Gawd, idiots.

The bathroom shot with the black dildo on the toilet is my fav. LMAO!!! I am guessing it got listed with that picture? hahahaha! Good one.

My house was built by idiots. You should see my bathroom. It's totally retarded. But, you make do. I'd take a sledge hammer and knock that island out and paint all that wood. Call it good. Evil looking dark countertops, man, that's nasty.

I like Lovely Listings. I like to follow the continuing saga of chair. Oh chair, you have the most exciting life!

Pat my downstairs bathroom is a narrow, longish cubbyhole built in the part of the house that used to be a log cabin. Then when they remodeled the house and added the upstairs and the front of the house, they had to add a bathroom. This was late 50's, so this old house had no indoor restroom until almost the 1960's. In fact, I think it was about 1960. Can you imagine? So, they must have thot , dayum, theres no place for a toilet ma...so they must have cleaned out a pantry and thats where they shoved a bathroom in! LOL! It used to have a window too, until we put in all new bathroom stuff and did away with the window. That bathroom was a total afterthought. Its so obvious. The upstairs 1/2 bath is much larger, it was planned. I also would bust out that island. Its taking up valuable space! & paint the cabinets, YES! Indeed. I did. I cannot stand a dark kitchen.

PS: I don't think thats a depressing website. Its just a true fact about how some houses are made. Not depressing.

My 3rd apt was almost like that. That picture almost looks like it to. Gwad I hated that kitchen with a passion.

It just used to be that function trumped form in terms of "remodeling". I grew up in an old farm house and it didn't matter whether it was a closet built out of plywood or a 2nd toilet in the basement, we didn't care what it LOOKED like, anything was better than nothing! A toilet next to the laundry sink was always going to be better than shitting your pants waiting for the upstairs bathroom to open up!

I agree and most old houses around here had no bath or closets..so the bathroom is whatever space they could spare. Ususally a pantry or enclosed porch. You just have to roll with it. There's no way to make it look like anything but an after thought. Better than the old out house in winter.

That's not an island. It's called a peninsula.

Okay.

Oh wow thanks for an entire evening of entertainment. It's 3.30am and I have finally dragged myself away from this website. I've laughed so loud and hysterically that the neighbours probably think that I've been undergoing a psychotic episode. So fucking funny. I just love looking at the real estate listings in our local newspapers, so this was a real treat! Thanks again! :-)

It's good fun, but, sort of depressing if you get addicted.
