Yeah, the plants have got to go. As for that second to the last one, Just Plain Weird is spot on. Those vents (?) in the green pyramid thing don’t help it at all, and that floor is too dark and looks cheap.

Ack is right. And I’ll throw in a Yikes.

The horror, the horror….

What’s so horrible is that people spend good money to achieve these horrible spaces. Ack!

Actually, I like the second to the last kitchen you showed, the green one with the hanging lights. No, wait, wait, don’t start throwing things! I think it’s an interesting space for a kitchen because of what I am surmising is in the rest of the room, or could be in the rest of the room. But I’m thinking this kitchen space could be seamlessly integrated into one of those Great Rooms: kitchen, dining room and family room all in one.

But I would make some changes. The hanging lights have to go. And the counter has to be re-thought and probably re-worked. And maybe we could do something else with the wall to the left in this picture. And the cabinets themselves have to go. Is that a space for the refrigerator to the right? That should be re-worked. Is that a door at the rear of the kitchen area? Where does it lead? Can we do something else with it? And the helmet brow of a ceiling thing over the kitchen itself… that can’t be good, can it? And, oh, Lord, that green… ugly, ugly, ugly. While we’re at it, the floor has got to go.

But I like everything else, I really do!

I agree with you on all of it! I don’t understand the plant thing.

Unfortunately I don’t think some people look at those things or even worse think they look good.

YES, YES, YES! Oh man, you struck a nerve with the creepy plants. A receptionist thought it was a good idea to grow one of those god forsaken ugly plants so that it would reach from the top of one kitchen display to another display in the first showroom I worked at. I was so irked at this ode to tackiness, I did the only logical thing to save ourselves from the tackiness.
I gave that trailing plant a good haircut.

I’ve been looking at a lot of MLS lately. In my price range I get to see a lot of architecture gone wrong AND dirty laundry and pictures of toilets with the seat up. Lucky me!

PS… I actually like plant shelves… just not necessarily with fake plants on them.

yeah…what was that all about? But what cracks me up is that the pix is so prominent. The descriptions are pretty bad too…right. But, really, maybe…only a handful of homes I went through had any redeeming qualities.

I must have the boomerang ceiling in the second to the last photo. The MLS in any price range gives me angina. I don’t know what’s worse, the photos or the descriptions.
