the jungle room

Please please please, if you are going to list your house, think about how other people might view your taste in interior decorating. To see what I mean, follow the link and click 'photo tour'.

Wow, jungle safari meets country kitch. I personally loved the green walls in the bedroom (nightmare anyone??) When I listed my house, the agent basically said, take out half of what you own, paint everything neutral, let people apply their own personalities. Guess that's not true where you are moving:)

First off, I would just like to say, I kinda hate you for the fact that you can get a 2000+ square foot house for under 200K. 

Secondly, I think my eyes are bleeding, so I'm going to go take care of that.

I'm not getting that impression, no. I would say, in fact, that people are being told either (1) get all your stuff out, and leave it empty, up to and including major appliances, or (b) make sure prospective buyers can really get a feel for how you know the house should be decorated.

>I would just like to say, I kinda hate you for the fact that you can get a 2000+ square foot house for under 200K.

Yeah - it's a little crazy. For an extra 50K, we can get 4000+.

And yes, I intentionally did the (1) and (b) thing.

Next time, warn people not to be eating dinner while viewing said photo tour... now to get kale off my screen...

Wow, quite the decor! Ouch. (though people might say the same of my place -- with my brass parrot and all!) What would you do with all that space? I mean, that master bathroom looks to be about half the size of my entire condo!

Three words: Indoor Ultimate Frisbee.

And yes, I would say if you decide to sell your place the brass parrot should come down before the photos are taken.

I saw a square inch of a room that had nothing on it=LOSE! Yeah, people's taste never fails to surprise me. One house we looked at (in person) had a girlie calendar along the lines of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition--the recent ones where they keep the swimsuits on, but just barely. Boy, I would have taken that one down! Another house we looked at had turned their attic into a "nanny's room," although it actually looked like something Anne Frank would find familiar. Scary. However, I would highly endorse you living on Hogan street ;).
