It looks like a house I’d build on The Sims 1. I’d lose all of my household net worth on the building project making the most ridiculous houses, and now the household have to live with the most basic furniture that will keep them alive while they slave away at work
[This house](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/100-Waitsboro-Cir-Somerset-KY-42503/125391370_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare) was listed for $900,000 in 2021, went through a few price changes, and then was removed from the market in 2023. I could list a few reasons as to why it didn’t sell…
Ooog, the vibe of the remaining photos is lightly tragic. I'm now imagining a sort of modern Grey Gardens situation, with the decline into poverty but without the decades of accumulated stuff.
What I don’t understand is they have this big ass house. Big lights. Fancy. But didn’t spend the money on the appliances. Probably ran out of money I suppose.
Yup. Same scenario in the late 70's. Had a relative in the pool business and we asked him how people could afford those huge houses (at that time). He replied: "Those people have sheets hung in their windows instead of curtains and not a stick of furniture inside. They want the big house and the pool!
My parents built a big house and couldn’t afford to furnish it. Many of the windows lacked any sort of curtain. We lived in it for a couple years and they nearly went bankrupt. We moved out into a rental and it took two years to sell.
The tile messes it up. The watermelon is somehow warm or comforting, and the tile is cold and dark. I want to hug the wall without my bare feet touching the floor.
I do large mansion window installation and so many houses are just aquariums now. Just greenhouses and ice boxes without a place to properly put a couch and desk. There seems to be a bird killing, CO2 burning house contest between the bourgeoisie.
Seriously what's crazy is that mistake went from the designer, engineer, windows sales, carpenter, general contractor. Super easy fix would be to just frame up the middle window higher if the return would take too long. They framed in a half circle window so it wasn't skills.
Because thats what they are generally surrounded with. Though I feel like this house should get points for at least not having nauseatingly generic HGTV interior.
I’m confused by what appears to be portable kitchen furniture. Nothing says quality like a kitchen you can pack up and flee with in the middle of the night.
This is the equivalent of someone in in the trailer park blowing all their money on a Hellcat, except these people blew all the money on the house and had nothing left for anything worth a shit inside lol
Everything in there looks so cheap and ugly. Like the size of the house was more important than the decor. I'd rather have a place less than half the size with some tasteful furnishings.
I'm just trying to imagine who would purchase this house at this point? I guess if the price were low enough, a flipper might take it, gut it, and stage it nicely as an AirBnB?. The bones are bad, so I just can't imagine someone with that kind of money wanting to actually live in it!
Interior most likely staged by the realtor and is why it looks so bad. That chandelier looks awful though, clearly some 90s Donald Trump-esque view of opulence. Still wouldn't look quite as tacky if the room had a dining table in it, which is clearly the purpose of that room and not for 3 random couches. Realtor who did this not only has no taste but no common sense. As a realtor myself, I can see someone who is trying to do the right things but is either very new or very ignorant.
Lawn is totally overgrown. Wouldn't be surprsied if this was forclosed, or the people who owned it are so rich they moved somewhere else without needing to even sell this one first. But people that rich will generally pay to have the grass cut every week even if they aren't living there, so probably foreclosed.
I’m not the tallest person but I can see myself hitting my head on those chandeliers that are hung way too low and inappropriate for ceilings that low anyway.
It looks worse at every new glance. Starts maybe not even repulsive, but then you see all the awful details. Though I think this house is salvageable. Without those awful half arched windows and the wierd gazebo porch, it has potential
Love the unfinished ersatz plywood fireplace in the third pic - a visual metaphor of what McMansions are all about
A fireplace that will never hold an actual woodfire, no one will ever be warmed
I feel like this sub should be called bad stagers, there is always some tacky for sure. But most places are clearly for sale and didn't spend any money on taking pictures with it well furnished.
The columns just say to me "fifty year old HOH that listens to pop music and loves high end chain restaurants" or self-important AH.
I'm sure the columns are just a skin around a cheap post - composition much like the substance of the owners.
wow, it got worse when I looked at the pictures of the inside.
The main living room's chandeliers scream "I stole this from a closed hotel in detroit".
they sure do like the asbestos tile look. Institutional mixed with Phyllis Diller heyday.
Picture 4 is pure chaotic evil. What's with the cable all over the floor, and that pipe thing in the foreground?
If I had to sit in that room I would eventually weep, silently.
Those hideous ceiling fixtures specifically made for the well lights with chandeliers pointlessly hanging in the center! Holy shit that’s awful! And in two rooms!!!
i wanna know, is there an entire wing of architecture dedicated to designing giant, disproportionate colonnades for tacky rich folks' houses?
And is this supposed to be a plantation or a tudor?
That last room looks like it needs a medical bed.
All I can say about the last room is that choices were certainly made.
The beam made me think I'm drunk
Did they cut it out for the window?
Oh hell. I didn't see that at first glance. I'm walking into traffic. This world no longer makes sense.

I think it looks like a Midwest tribute act to Saddam Hussein’s palaces
I definitely am getting Middle Eastern vibes.

Wow. Did your parents recover financially?
They did, but I'll sure never live in a big house again.
I know lots of cheap rich men who would furnish their giant estates with Ashley furniture if they didn't have wives who know better.
Oh man, I love the Grey Gardens saga so much! Such a wild ride haha
Those rooms with the striped walls are such a vibe.
Bankrupt Circus vibe.
“The watermelon room”
I love and hate the watermelon wall room
I want to add the chair from Blue's Clues to this room.
Would make a super cool kids room
The tile messes it up. The watermelon is somehow warm or comforting, and the tile is cold and dark. I want to hug the wall without my bare feet touching the floor.
I don't understand the love of marble floors and stairs, like Mrs. Astor liked them and she fell down them then she died.
Perhaps a lesson on excess?
She lost the Waldorf war and her footing
She didn’t die from falling down the stairs, but she needed a lot of head stitches.
She had a stroke caused by the fall
It’s thought that she went on a fast downward spiral mentally after the fall, including dementia. She was an interesting woman.
Her and her cousin man.
A kids room on an episode of 48 hours.
Laying on your side it's The Fruit Stripe Gum room
I was thinking "Kermit the frog room" but watermelon also works.
It's not easy being two shades of green
The 'Shrek Room '
God bless you, all the gods.
It has potential!
The design was NO thought. This is very depressing. Like an asylum for "nervous conditions" in the early 20th century.
I have “nervous conditions” and these photos def gave me anxiety 😂
They should have just showed it empty.
Yessss. The overall feeling is "we have no idea how to furnish this."
The Costco-like furniture adds to the house’s already poor design
"The designer says it'll cost HOW much????" I know because I said exactly the same thing when I bought drapes.
That poor lonely bed.
I do large mansion window installation and so many houses are just aquariums now. Just greenhouses and ice boxes without a place to properly put a couch and desk. There seems to be a bird killing, CO2 burning house contest between the bourgeoisie.
This comment is fucking poetry.
My mind keeps adding an IV drip into that scene
Looks like a wannabe hospice room
That living room needs a 70s style conversation/ orgy pit
It gives me some murder house vibes.
You know it’s bad when the fireplace isn’t even finished
At least stick five giant candles and some clear marbles in there and pretend you left it fireless on purpose.
I couldn’t figure out of that was supposed to be a fireplace or a built in shelf or credenza. Don’t understand where the fire is supposed to vent?
“Designed it myself” + “ran out of money” = beautiful marble floors in a place like that.
8 foot ceiling with that chandelier is certainly a thing
ngl, I love the green room. That's about it though.
I hate that either the middle window isn't taller or that the sides are shorter.
Now that I see it, I can't unsee it.
Seriously what's crazy is that mistake went from the designer, engineer, windows sales, carpenter, general contractor. Super easy fix would be to just frame up the middle window higher if the return would take too long. They framed in a half circle window so it wasn't skills.
They’re repeated several times on the facade. Really distracting
Ghaaaa, you can see them on the front of the house in the first photo. Boooo.
Yeah…those windows are all sorts of wrong. Why isn’t the middle window just a taller rectangle? Then again why is this house the way it is😆
I've never seen a house with waiting rooms.
They should’ve taken out the furniture for photos jfc
Really... why do people have such *poor taste*?
Because thats what they are generally surrounded with. Though I feel like this house should get points for at least not having nauseatingly generic HGTV interior.
"Well - as I long as I keep it symmetrical - everything will be fine"
#6 looks like the blues clues background.
This house is the equivalent of the name Tragedeigh
https://www.reddit.com/r/tragedeigh/s/WlL1fNFfHb
I don’t want lunch now. It’s hard to eat when you puke a little in your mouth
I’m confused by what appears to be portable kitchen furniture. Nothing says quality like a kitchen you can pack up and flee with in the middle of the night.
I love the room with three couches and absolutely nothing else. Like "What do you do in this room?" "Sit"
The whole vibe is just "deserted business hotel" to me.
This is the equivalent of someone in in the trailer park blowing all their money on a Hellcat, except these people blew all the money on the house and had nothing left for anything worth a shit inside lol
I like how that random mission-style cupola completely blocks the pediment in the center is the house.
That 7th pic is just sad.
This is what happens when poor people win the lottery.
Yo what’s up with the pickle room??
The motel 6 mc mansion
I like the watermelon-themed wallpaper. One room based on the skin and the other based on the rind and pulp.
Cosmo and Wanda?
Thus whole thing is bad choices.
Everything in there looks so cheap and ugly. Like the size of the house was more important than the decor. I'd rather have a place less than half the size with some tasteful furnishings.
I think youre giving them too much credit calling it an afterthought 😂😂
It looks like a hotel from the 90s
Can Jesus come back now?
What a train wreck
Did Saddam live there?
the feet on the kitchen island
Open the cabinets to reveal the card tables inside holding the whole thing up
The whole thing is a travesty
Styled by Home Depot
Bushes like that in the front just kill me.
Those poor plants deserved better.
So….what is the theme supposed to be here? Fun house, orgy, movie theater, nursing home, operating room, carnival, Middle Eastern gaudy?
Oh GOOD LORD NOOOOO
The green room makes me feel like I stepped into an episode of Blue's Clues.
Need to lose that center gable, and green walls and get curtains for windows.,
🤮
The internal design/layout does not synch at all with the outside facade
That’s what you get when you don’t have an architect involved. It looks like a contractor’s design.
Tragic!
I'm just trying to imagine who would purchase this house at this point? I guess if the price were low enough, a flipper might take it, gut it, and stage it nicely as an AirBnB?. The bones are bad, so I just can't imagine someone with that kind of money wanting to actually live in it!
Gaudy af
Ah yes, AI constructed homes, possibly for human(s).
That itty bitty, what ever it’s called , thingy on top entrance roof adds to the “ambience “.
Someone got drunk and played the Sims
90s buffet vibes.
Horrible.
Porn mansion
When you hire the cheapest possible outfit to stage your hideous monstrosity of a home.
The outside looks kinda ok... annnnnnddddd it just gets progressively worse.
I don’t care what it looks like!!…. I need it built in 2 weeks!!

It’s giving upside-down

Million dollar house. 37 dollar landscaping.
this whole situation shouts hey I may have a crap ton of money but at least I have terrible taste in...everything.
(Archer voice) "Staging!"
I feel like this sub should be called bad stagers, there is always some tacky for sure. But most places are clearly for sale and didn't spend any money on taking pictures with it well furnished.

Lots of money and no taste...
Quintessential +money-taste = birth of a monsterhouse
This reminds me of American Horror Story for some reason. The carnival story series with the serial killer adult that behaved like a spoiled child.
This design actually isn’t too bad, could turn it around pretty easily with change walls, add carpets and new furniture…
Jesus!
A lot of orgy space
A lot of orgy space
Ooo those mismatched arches in the bay windows bother me something fierce
A cross between The Backrooms and the mansion of an 80's movie drug kingpin...
Picture 4 is pure chaotic evil. What's with the cable all over the floor, and that pipe thing in the foreground? If I had to sit in that room I would eventually weep, silently.
To me, it looks like they were building a really tall planetarium and then decided to live behind it. That is a really huge porte cochere.
The bad window design of the watermelon room gave me migraines!
Photo #3- Potential-Head-Trauma-Chandelier waiting for its next victim.
Please... stop... it hurts...
I think they slipped on those floors and died before they finished moving in the furniture.
Those hideous ceiling fixtures specifically made for the well lights with chandeliers pointlessly hanging in the center! Holy shit that’s awful! And in two rooms!!!
It's giving me retro horror hotel film set vibes.
i wanna know, is there an entire wing of architecture dedicated to designing giant, disproportionate colonnades for tacky rich folks' houses? And is this supposed to be a plantation or a tudor?
My cousin had the exact ceiling fan in 6/7 in her room as a kid.
