I think it's just a case study in why real estate photos are usually HDR as all hell. Those appear to be unaltered phone photos, and considering how mine usually come out I think all those rooms would look fine in person.

Side note: I have noticed a trend of houses from the 18th-early 19th century surviving far, far better than houses from the Victorian era or later. Survivorship bias of course, I'm sure there were plenty of lovely houses that didn't last long too, and but compare an unrestored, abandoned colonial house to its Victorian counterpart and the difference is startling. Probably because they were built out of stone, brick, and/or old-growth timber that is less likely to burn, rot, or collapse from a storm. Queen Annes are pretty to look at but super vulnerable to any kind of damage. And as for MCM, Frank Lloyd Wright's houses were falling apart in his lifetime. The postwar ranch houses aren't going to last another century without going full Ship-of-Theseus and just having nothing original left. e: dumb typo Youth Decay fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Sep 2, 2021 |

My bathroom cabinet remodeling project has just started - they are currently making the doors and drawers. The price shot up 50% because I decided I wanted to do no handles, and utilize the Blum Tip-On system but it will definitely be worth it. Since the vanity cabinet and linen closet have a frame, making the doors bigger, and using larger overlay hinges (to give a frameless appearance) isn't a big issue, but retrofitting these tip-on triggers definitely is. Everything will be soft close too. Incredibly excited to get rid of my "traditional" (which is a swear word to me) framed stained maple cabinets, and have white slab doors with no handles and no visible frame!

It was originally going to cost me about 1500, but doing the tip-on added 50% to the price lol. But still not bad, a hell of a lot cheaper than replacement, which isn't really viable anyway because the linen closet is built into the wall. Of course next year I do the same thing in my kitchen. Thankfully it's a small galley style, but I still expect that to be 6-7k. But cabinet replacement would be 15-20k so

The listing has tons of photos of the beautiful Japanese-styled landscaping  the couches don't really go with the theme tbh   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/90-Cross-Hwy-Amagansett-NY-11930/122176182_zpid/ by Harry Bates (1975)    https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2850-W-Fullerton-Ave-Chicago-IL-60647/2071105355_zpid/ a factory conversion live-work mansion in Chicago  concrete countertop?   naturally they are using part of it as an Airbnb  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1414-W-180th-St-Gardena-CA-90248/20981358_zpid/ don't care about the house, this is just Yard Goals   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/25711-Cervantes-Ln-Mission-Viejo-CA-92691/25610760_zpid/ now THIS is how you renovate an old split-level, wow. And while they did put in new flooring, kitchen, and bathrooms most of the effect comes from the paint and decor - the yellow is perfect.   vanities are kind of generic but this Spanish tile is great  beautiful kitchen remodel and more awesome tile  I think those are the original built-ins, just painted. Would have liked to keep the wood stain but in this case the white does go with the modern vibe of the place

The Zillow search term of the day is "Wexler". Two houses designed by Donald Wexler, one house inspired by his designs. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3421-E-Avenida-Fey-Norte-Palm-Springs-CA-92262/18128795_zpid/ built in 1960, kind of a generic remodel  don't really dig the kitchen     https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/70170-Sonora-Rd-Rancho-Mirage-CA-92270/108377178_zpid/ the Kassinger House (1980)      https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2155-E-McManus-Dr-Palm-Springs-CA-92262/18019351_zpid/ ca. 1955 house built "in the Wexler style" with renovation and expansion in keeping with the original the staging is so extra and I appreciate that  I'm the flatscreen above the old-timey TV set. Also lol at the Mad Men photo, in case you still didn't know what era this house is from   oh ho ho see it's a 50s house but there's a towel that has "loving" on it how quirky  artificial turf lawns will never not look like mini-golf courses to me  a second Eames Lounge Chair has hit the MCM house  time to act out all your group shower fantasies, complete with a viewing window for the creepy coach to look in  Eames Bird spotted  they go all out with the decor but then put these bedspreads and pillow sets that appear to have been purchased from Amazon's Crate-and-Barrel knockoff brand

My favorite variation on listing photos is when the house has clearly been occupied by someone with enough money and taste to stay up to date on trends throughout the decades, but you can see clear evidence of how old age has confined them to an out-of-place mobility-assist recliner in front of the TV.
