Like I’m pretty sure this is the color of the blood that Akira Kurosawa used in Ran. It’s fucking haunting.

    The carpet and walls look like those in the den where I grew up, before we turned it into my bedroom and replaced the carpet with something more neutral brown. I was fine with the red but it was a rough shag that was in really poor shape. Then again, I suppose a good cleaning might have saved it and saved money but my mom was more the one dictating the style despite it being my room.

    Look on the bright side, it’s going to be easy to clean up after murdering the guy who made it

    Honestly I like it. I really like that kind of wood paneling as it just gives me very cosy vibes for some reason, the ceiling contrasts that and feels bright, and the floor, while tacky, adds color in a way that I feel looks interesting. Red’s not exactly the color I would have chosen, but I do think I’d have gone for a similarly bright color given the option. Carpet in the bathroom though, is just gross.

      Me too. I was like “are they stunned by the carpet because it looks so good ?” I’m sure that color might show dirt more, but I’m fine with that because it let’s me know to vacuum.

      Edit: Uhhhhh I missed the carpeted bathroom in the corner left. That’s no Bueno.

    This is the type of saturation cell phone makers are too cowardly to use

    Looking at that picture is all I needed to know exactly how that home smells. Musty with a hint of piss.

    It’s really the walls being that color. A more neutral gray or white could work. Heck, even a pale pink or orange. Anything but brown.

    Edit: Is that a freaking fish on the wall!?

    The whole house has some interesting choices, some of which work well together and others… not so much. Most of it would have cost a lot when it was done, and seems to have been very well cared for since.

    It would make a cracking movie set, and I kind of hope the new owners do something sympathetic to it and keep the better bits, though that’s unlikely.

    Can’t really imagine who would have lived here, other than that they’re probably in their late 80s now, and that they had at least three children. The ad said something which suggests the owner is a builder and that their building company built it.
