One of the few things with colours in the house.General_Grant said:

I had to go back to find the dog! Didn't improve with a 2nd look either. Even the towels on the line are drab. Shame as it could be a nice house with a bit of life and injected. What is it with everyone thinking they have to go grey to sell a house. Not a big fan of those radiators either.Louise.H said:

In all honesty, there are a lot of houses posted on here that I think are pretty fabulous and would buy in a heartbeat if I had the money.GDB2222 said:I find a lot of these posts rather upsetting. I'm not saying that people are wrong to post them, just that I am upset by them.
I can sympathise with the elderly folk, who just didn't want the disruption of workmen in the house. Plus, they came from a generation that was less spoilt, and they didn't feel the need to 'waste' money in order to keep up to date. As long as it worked, they kept it. Hence, the old pink suite, but the new white toilet. And, the listing above is of a £90k house. Maybe, the inhabitants were on the state pension, and they just didn't have the money for updating?
My personal nightmare is the all-grey, crushed velvet sofa, lines-hoovered-into-carpets fashion that seems to be everywhere these days. I can't bear going into my sister's house because it genuinely makes me feel unhappy and unsettled - EVERYTHING is grey with the exception of some terrible mustard cushions and towels.
Would I change a whole bathroom if I could just change a toilet? No chance. I would rather spend spare money on holidays than making my house look like something out of an interiors magazine.
The worst ones are the million pound homes that look like sterile laboratories. Give me a Liberace-themed extravaganza any day!Living with Lupus is like juggling with butterflies4 -
No she's the petulant lead singer.moneysavinghero said:
Is Nelly Noo Noo the name of the band?BikingBud said:
Teddies are the band members, how can you be a rock star without a jauntily worn hat, did you not see their guitars?briskbeats said:Really silly place to place chair (pic 2) and check out the teddies with hats...
The bears have to put such messages around the house to massage her ego and ensure she stays with the band rather than going with the solo deal. Although all the real fans know she is quite vacuous and talentless and the teddies have all the ability and drive the band forward to great critical acclaim.
But hey that's rock n'roll don'tcha just love it

Would you keep this bathroom suite?

The house looks solid and in reasonable condition but the suspended ceilings and bathroom take me back.3 -
Actually, I think the bathroom suite/tile combo is rather splendid in a cool, retro sort of way. I think I really would keep it.kipsterno1 said:Would you keep this bathroom suite?

This reminds me a bit of my new house. I think the tiles would be a little too much and I'd replace them whilst leaving the suite (given it works ok).kipsterno1 said:Would you keep this bathroom suite?

Not great but could be transformed with enough green plants, softer screening and climbers etc to hide the brickwork.GaleSF63 said:Private enclosed garden or prison yard?
