that 1949 restoration is amazing, I love the more 50s style combined with all the "new" white walls/cabinets/appliances/etc. even has some pearsall chairs.

The key I think is the flooring - so many renovations just slap grey vinyl everywhere. Though they were lucky to have that nice herringbone oak floor instead of wall-to-wall carpet Conversely, that Philly time capsule rowhouse would (will?) look 10x better just by putting in hardwood and/or terrazzo.

yeah it's pretty cool, it's like a chevron style but thinner. I assume they are regular planks with the design added on, not a bunch of very tiny planks at a diagonal!

How shallow is that tub? Even with realtor-vision going on, it looks like it would barely come up halfway to my knees. I honestly thought it was a sink for a second when I first looked at the image before everything else came into focus.

It's probably deep enough, looks like there's water in it which is creating an illusion

Megillah Gorilla posted:realtor-vision In that specific image the tiles on the left are basically square and the tiles on the right are parallelograms about twice the area lmao I don't think that helps explain the tub, though. It could be half full of water, but that seems like a strange thing to do for a photo

I just spent some time in one of the most bafflingly awful AirBNBs I've ever seen and thought this thread might want to hear about it. It's an apartment complex, and the first thing you see when walking in is a set of stairs down to an elevator which only stops between floors, so you're always going either up or down half a floor to a glass door leading out on a balcony from which all flats on that level are accessed. Every other door is a sliding door and I have no idea if there's more flats behind these or something else - why this is a mystery will become apparent with this floor plan.  It's a two-floor apartment. The ground floor is on the right, so yes, the upper floor is vastly larger. The ground floor consists of an entry hall (Vorraum), kitchenette (Kochen), and living room, plus a narrow death trap staircase (these are allegedly flats for 4 students to share, so even more death trap when alcohol gets involved). There's also a balcony (Balkon) with a small table and chairs. The upper floor has an asymmetrical corridor around the staircase with a bedroom (Zimmer 1-4) in each corner. The light switches are on the outside for 3 of those, inside for the fourth. There's a balcony (Balkon again) on one side that has the window blinds mounted on the far end, not on the windows themselves. The blinds had clearly not been touched in millennia. All of the bedrooms have windows over the doors, sometimes in the doors too. The bath (Bad) and toilet (WC) are on opposite sides of the upper floor. There's also a tiny room (AR) that allegedly contains a washing machine. The bath has a bathtub and a shower on opposite ends because of course it does. Here's the advertising photos: Living room:   Ours had a Harry Potter closet under the stair. Bedrooms:  Upstairs:  Death:

From a bit back but I actually have that table in a different color way so you can see it in action.  The chairs are Stua Globus chairs in wood.

At least they have a stairway with a railing and not a ladder. Is that just me as an American being more accepting of lovely student housing?

The interior walls aren't painted cinderblock, it's already better than some of the dorms I stayed in.

Nosre posted:Is that 37k for a walkway between two houses? Looks like it  My first of many questions is, how did the owner of whichever adjacent lot it used to belong to manage to subdivide the lot in the tax records and create such a weird tiny parcel? It's usually a non trivial process and I'm surprised it was even permitted to spin off such a tiny piece of land. My second question is, why?

Going to slowly buy up all the 1k square foot parcels of land in Seattle until I am one of the biggest residential landowners in the city, lording over dozens of uselessly small or oddly shaped strips of land, doing nothing with them

I'm hoping or imagining that the owner of that tiny strip is trying to make one of their neighbors buy it and threatening to sell it as an RV parking spot is their leverage. I can't quite imagine how that ever came into being. Vacated alley that didn't make it into the deed when the property it was attached to got sold? I know my grandmother's yard has an odd tiny strip that is recorded as a separate parcel and I could see someone buying her house and getting it all surveyed and thinking that strip was the neighbor's or something.

On the subject of tiny useless parcels of land the council recently put up for sale a strip of land behind some nearby houses, allegedly hoping the house owners would subdivide it and effectively double their gardens. Well they somehow forgot to tell the house owners so 1 guy bought the whole strip for £500, then dragged a decrepit caravan and some scrap fence panels into the plot and moved into it with his whole family. Eventually the homeowners realised it didn't belong to any of them and got their poo poo together to complain.

Highland Park, IL is the location of Cameron's house in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where Cameron kills the car at the end. The realty websites seem to have taken the pictures down, but articles about its sale a few years ago have pictures. The address is 370 Beech Street, Highland Park IL 60035: https://architectureforsale.com/address/370-beech-st-highland-park-il-usa/

Antivehicular posted:The marble honestly just looks like they spilled the cabinet paint everywhere The picture is kind of crappy so it's tough to make out the joints, but I'm willing to wager that's what happened. There's no way that veining would be able to travel from piece to piece like that, I'm almost positive that is something surface applied to a white marble. Edit: This is going off the assumption it's a 12x12 marble on the floor. If there are slabs on the floor it's possible, but I still think highly unlikely. Also I've never seen a marble with that type of coloring but I'm not versed in every marble out there. tetrapyloctomy posted:It looks like faux marble epoxy.

Of the $15,000 budget they must have used about $30 of that on those cheap rear end backsplash tiles that really should have gone all the way up the wall on the left if they weren't going to put a cabinet there.

Are we really thinking this is a newly done kitchen from 2020? I mean, imo anywhere without an integrated oven and hob looks like trash, and those are chintzy old-lady contoured cabinets apart from the purple paint. Looks like a dated builder grade kitchen with some horrific & expensive garnish on top. Assuming someone out there likes that colour scheme, I’d bet there is zero overlap with people who think everything else about the kitchen is not garbage. I’m pretty sure this isn’t from a flip, surely even the worst flipper knows not to put in any controversial personal style choices in.

If by integrated you mean a built-in wall oven, yeah that looks better but doing that is INSANELY expensive which is why you so rarely see it. It's probably a bit harsh to say that unless you have what is going to cost like 30-40K+ at an absolute minimum your kitchen is trash.
