It has been a while since I have put together a photo gallery of oddities from the housing market. So, for your amusement, here are some images you will remember.
Whoops! In an effort the kill the weeds in grass, this guy inadvertently applied weed and grass killer. Of course, the weeds died...and so did the grass. After applying it to two acres of his lawn, you can see the result. To add insult to injury, the uneven application resulted in dramatic zebra striping.
This window was moved one foot to the left from its original location. The brick arch is a feature that provides structural support. You can see the brick separating now since the arch is missing its supportive leg.
Introducing the latest craze: The Ovenless Kitchen.
When your Victorian two story home has a fire and a contemporary 1920's style roof is built on what is left, this roofline is the result. Art Deco meets Victorian in what we might call Vart Decorian.
Interesting artistic liberties were taken to augment this old home with unusual diamond shaped windows.
What compliments the opulence and luxury of new cabinets and granite countertops in a kitchen more than a frumpy old 1960's oven hood?
This is the first time I have seen the use of mirrors on the exterior of a home. Interesting.
If you have ever wondered what it looks like to carpet your basement before you hang your sheetrock, here is an example.
Wallpaper can create subtle accents in a home...or completely overwhelming ones.
Whoa!
Sometimes wallpaper can make you feel like you are in some kind of carnival funhouse.
Need a toilet? There's one in the doorless closet. Just make sure folks look the other way while you take care of business.
