If you like photoshopped skies, check out this board. Notice anything... strange?

All photos from actual home listings, mostly in the Seattle area but some in other parts of the western US.

The board software won't let me post links yet so I had to edit it to un-link it. Just remove the space before .com

Picture number 7, I wonder if it comes with a magnifying glass.

That living room would make me feel like I was in a fish tank!

look at the upstairs room layout .The en suite is accessed from the landing not the bedroom ,the dressing room is accessed via the
en suite and the attic room is accessed via the en suite dressing room .:rotfl:Lets hope you dont need to go to the attic when the shower is being used

The "dressing room" is more of a landing with shelves.

The attic conversion bedroom has led them to a new use of the adjective "mezzanine" in the naming of the photos.

!!!!!!

Looks like its been sold now.

Not a bad house. The thing that strikes me is the obvious large difference between the type of house it is on the one hand (ie little mid-terrace) and the type of house the owner obviously wants on the other hand (ie bit cottage-y and in more of a rural setting).

Or maybe that's blindingly obvious to me, because I had a little mid-terrace and anyone with much at all in the way of power of observation probably realised it was a very different style/location to what I had decided on iyswim and I was trying to make that house be my type of house...and in the end gave up.

As for the washing machine, most likely explanation for that is that in the "house the vendor has in their minds eye" they have a utility room and things like washing machines are out of sight. As this house doesn't have that utility room then the vendor probably decided its best to make a feature of it.

Either that, or someone ELSE (ie not the owner of washing machine) had damaged the look of it and had refused to pay for the necessary replacement, so the owner had decided to make it look "meant" iyswim.

What a mess upstairs. No downstairs loo so a bathroom needs to be accessible on landing upstairs. With that in mind:
- reconfigure main bathroom with access from bedroom and ditch the corner bath for a proper one!
- hard to work out how to configure the rest. New stairs can't go right on plan as no attic there :rotfl:. Also it looks nicely done. I'd sacrifice the back of bedroom 2 to make a corridor through to dressing room, under the top of the stairs.
- Shut off ensuite to dressing room. Dressing room now becomes a study or small playroom with stairs in it.
- Bed 2 is now long and narrow but at least house flows better.

Not worth spending money on now but that's how I'd have done it at the time. Assuming I haven't missed anything .

Those floorplans are sometimes rather inaccurate. On a few occasions, when we were house hunting, the floorplan for a house would show whole rooms with no doors to get into them!

I assume the en-suite (and dressing room) is intended to be the en-suite for the mezz bedroom rather than any of the first floor bedrooms.
