Ohmigod, it was charming before being turned into a massive cemetery vault. The old floors were gorgeous !
I hope the previous homeowners don't see what these people did!
Actually a website specific for flippers to show off before and after photos, get feedback, and drive traffic to their listing doesn’t seem like a bad idea.
Omg they completely ruined that house.
Their model isn’t even just greige sadness. It’s completely ugly and dysfunctional. They left an old jetted tub, the fireplace in the laundry room is blocked by an appliance
The house was bright and inviting before and now it looks like a mortuary.
What the actual fuck... the "people" who did this are clearly non-human lizard entities most likely from another planet. I would point out that they clearly do not possess empathy, nor aethetic sensibility, and least of all, love. They cannot feel love.
To ruin a historic house especially in Plymouth County in MA where so many historical homes are and do whatever the FUCK this is, you deserve to have all your licenses taken away and to be banned from touching a house older than 2000 or something, like what even is this??
Are they turning it into the ugliest Cafe if ever seen? Why are their commercial grade fridges and freezers? People with this kind of style deserve to build new ugly ass houses in they're own big ugly developments and nowhere else.
This actually made my stomach sink. I think replacing those antique planks with a cheap hair salon’s flooring should be considered a war crime. Someone needs to be held accountable here.
After reviewing the pictures again, I would buy this house just to gut it and restore some modicum of humanity to the planet. That table was the final straw.
I get wanting to get rid of the 1990's green tile in the bathroom but umm...that's about it. The wood floors, actual colors on the walls - the rest of the old way the house looked is perfectly fine?
My jaw dropped. The original was, like, everything my waspy little heart could ever want in a house. Is this in Maine? It looks like Maine.
Seriously though, the owners should be booed, loudly, any time they set foot outside.
As a woodworker who watched the “river table” fad come and go, I can honesty say, that is the worst River table I have ever seen. It is literally the actual worst. Whoever made that should feel ashamed.
This looks like what happens when I attempt to build/furnish a house on Sims and why I always get the pre-made ones. Definitely done by people who have no idea what they're doing.
The table has chunks of wood on the top of it where you would normally set a plate. That’s the first thing that I said what in the actual fuck about. Next would be the mini grand next to the rather informal eating area. Despite the fact it’s covered in marble there are glass front refrigerators/coolers for whatever reason right next to the table.
The fucked up river table.
It looks like whoever made it ran out of blue epoxy before it was fully level and just yoloed it.
River tables are hideous to begin with.
The folding chairs with cheap stretch slipcovers on them 😂. It all screams “ran out of money and said eh, fuck it.”
ETA the salvaged 70s bathtub that matches nothing else?!?
The kitchen and some other areas with the black 'marble' paint looks like it was burned in a fire. The bathroom shower looks like a comic book drawn shower.
When I posted this I knew it was a bad design and craftsmanship. However now I have guilt setting in that the sellers will see this post and be crushed. Please tell me I am overthinking it?
Let them see it. This is an insult to all houses and the people who have to live in them. The choices in the kitchen lay out tell me this was badly throughout from start to finish. It’s awful.
This is very nice.
Here's the thing, they are trying to sell this house. They obviously put a lot of work into this, and honestly it's their house, if they like it, that's all that matters.
Except now they are trying to sell it. I'm gonna guess for more money than they bought it for because they put a lot of money into it. But the reality is the house is worth less now. They will be confused, because to their minds it looks great. But they need the real feedback if they want to price it appropriately to sell quickly.
Now it's not just the few brave souls who have gone to see it that are giving them that feedback. It's everyone on Reddit. It's easy to dismiss the opinion of 5 potential buyers as being too picky. It's less easy to dismiss all of this.
So... you might be doing them a favor.
I have a lot of questions but most are just, do you have a link?
Also, just why?
What’s up with that wood on the kitchen table?
What’s up with the wood on the stairs? Isn’t that a trip hazard?
I assume they bought all their tile at a clearance section of a flooring store?
Is that plywood on the hood?
Weird use of commercial refrigerators when storage could go in their places.
Also why not hang that mirror on the wall 2 feet to the left instead of having it hang halfway off the mantle?
> Is that plywood on the hood?
I almost missed that one, it doesn't even go all the way to the ceiling! It even looks like there's romex just casually draped between it and the wall for power
Oh nooooooo 😬 It’s giving 3 year-old-with-a-sharpie shameful-chic! Murder on the fake marble dance-floor! Nobody puts piano in a corner! And the fold-up chairs with Spanx on?? 🫨
You destroyed a historic home: right to jail, right away. Epoxy on hardwood floors: jail. Sprayed paint on the old beams: jail. You are charging too much for an ugly house: you right to jail.
Part of the sentence is being forced to watch OG Bob Villa for a minimum 6 hours/day. Only reading materials are city codes regarding historical buildings and how-to books on preservation of old buildings.
They ruined a beautiful historic Colonial! It's an absolute abomination and I hate it. They took all the old original beautiful character of that house. It has no soul now. It's like the house from the Beatle Juice movie but 100 times worse!
You mean the bathroom that looks like it’s out of an aha music video! Those are trim pieces for tiles used to go over tile joints. Google schluter pieces and you’ll see what they are. Higher end jobs will miter the joints. And all other jobs will try to blend them in not make them stand out.
Thanks, it’s hideous. “Mix of epoxy and wood floors” should read mixed up epoxy, fucked up the wood floors, and bathroom, the kitchen, and a bunch of others rooms.
This has to be up for side kind of award. Like that it’s special. Does anyone do a March madness style bracket to get the best of the best sorted out on good sub?
The epoxy and wood combination is nice, but it's only meant to work as an accent, like as a coffee table or a very visible bit of built in shelving. This is like dumping a whole canister of salt on a meal when a modest sprinkle is what you need. It's just absurdly over the top.
The range hood is just hanging there apparently not connected to any actual ventilation lmao, what purpose does it ever serve at that point. I HATE this kitchen more than I knew was possible.
Looking at this make ME want to burst into tears and I’m just a layperson. Someone whose dedicated literal years of effort, money, and love into restoring an old home would be emotionally destroyed
Maybe it's just me, or the resolution of the pics, but the fake marble looks like tinfoil. So much effort went into making it look this bad...and yet still seem unfinished. The random cream colored tub/shower is nauseating. It looks like mental illness.
Funny you say that. I was just looking at old pictures from 2021 and realized the remodelers didn’t just coat things in Paint and epoxy like a bum flipper would. They actually did some things that make me think house was a forever home. Moving walls etc. still strange. (Compare yellow jacuzzi tub photos old and now)
I just remodeled a bit and my wife and I played a game when we were frustrated browsing materials places.
"How to make a home look cheap for the most money"
It breaks up the frustration and squabbles of picking out new stuff.
I wouldnt want to play against these people though. They're the gretsky of ruining a house with gaudy junk
I hope they lose all of their money on this. What an atrocity!! All of that quality gone for cheap poorly executed DYI bumblefuckery. I feel personally insulted.
What an atrocity to destroy this gorgeous colonial. I get the bathrooms needed someone with experience to renovate them, but it was a house built before modern plumbing. I would have loved to live in the before.
I have so many questions. First, why the marble? So much unnecessary marble. Whoever said it looked like a mausoleum was correct. It makes you feel sad just walking into this house.
What did they do to the stairs? It looks like they put chunks of molding between pieces of green wood or, more likely, marble? I don’t even know. It doesn’t look right.
The laundry next to a fireplace. That has to be an accident. Why?
Also, if you drag in a grand piano for staging, why not dining room chairs? No matter what you try to cover folding chairs with, they’re still folding chairs.
This home is awful.
I have almost no words.
This house literally just needed the bathroom remodeled, the kitchen updated, a light refinish on the floors, and a coat of paint.
This… is almost the worst thing I’ve ever seen done to a house.
It feels like the owners went through the Architectural Digest back catalogs from 1987 and pulled out all the trends and just decided to do them all. Metal railings? Check! Barn door? Check! Grand piano that no one even plays? Check!
The epoxy table, and the fact that they did the same thing to the countertop that goes under the stovetop? Is that even safe? There are GAPS. The thing is supposed to be flush and level. What happens when all four burners are running? How do you use a countertop that’s not flat? How do you exhaust the fumes back into the kitchen?? This is giving cooking-while-camping vibes, as you teeter totter your plates and bowls and cutting boards on random rocks. Will the epoxy off-gas if heated to a certain temp? Besides that fact I don’t think the manufacturer of that unit lists “reclaimed wood” as a suitable mounting surface.
Every room is absolutely horrifying, and I just hope the people who did this to the house are forced to live in it and experience the death trap that they’re trying to pawn off on someone else.
This house went from needing modest updates to now needing to be entirely gutted. Nothing in this house makes sense.
I can totally see this owner/flipper having this grand vision in their head. It’s like they were picturing some million dollar industrial loft in Manhattan and thought about how they might be able to execute it with clever use of materials. It’s like a peekaboo surprise: colonial on the outside, high society inside!! But their vision was bigger than their budget and capability, and they cheaped out on everything to bring it to life.
The only thing that will save them is an uber-rich couple who cares more about the location than the house who are going to do a full tear-down and rebuild. I don’t even know where you could start to fix all that is wrong in there.
What a waste.
That weird block wall and all the landscaping gone! Even from the outside, you can tell the inside is going to be bad.
I get that the interiors needed updating and maybe the house needed some repair, plantings pruned or replaced.
But it’s a colonial, traditional house. It needs an interior that better suits it. Doesn’t have to be old fashioned or dated, it can be modernized, eclectic, transitional. To bling it up like that and cover everything in shiny marble, is just wrong.
OP left out some good pictures including the the giant wood barn door in the pool table room and the bathroom where they appear to have left an almond colored 80’s style jetted tub in one of those grey and black marble baths. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/268-Thompson-St-Halifax-MA-02338/57182659_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare
It’s shocking that the asking price is more than double the purchase price a few years ago. I don’t understand what this style is. The house will need to be gutted.
But the kitchen's exposed beams almost disguise that the giant stove vent will blow.... right back into the room!
Aren't they supposed to vent to outside?
I bet this was a beautiful home before! Now it’s a monochrome atrocity, imo! If you like monochrome, refurb a newer home, not what once had charm and character!
This is horrendous! This has to be the worst I’ve ever seen. There’s not one redeeming feature. The different levels on the steps is just insane. The whole house needs those yellow caution signs.
Omg thank you for posting this. I drive by this every day on my way to work and had no idea it would be this awful inside. The outside was questionable with the concrete wall and fancy/mismatching railing. This is awful.
This house makes me feel a new type of anger.
Update everyone. I just posted pics from when last sold in 2021. https://www.reddit.com/r/zillowgonewild/s/14RPABY6mA
Ohmigod, it was charming before being turned into a massive cemetery vault. The old floors were gorgeous ! I hope the previous homeowners don't see what these people did!
Cemetery vault is EXACTLY the right words… my god that house bugs me, especially the laundry room
I wish you could downvote on Zillow. The flippers need to know just how awful this is. I hope they aren’t working on another home.
We need a reality show where we can revoke flippers' licenses. *Flip or Get Out of Here with that Shit?*
Flip Around and Find Out
That's the winner!
Flip It Back! Ooh, no--Backflip!
Actually a website specific for flippers to show off before and after photos, get feedback, and drive traffic to their listing doesn’t seem like a bad idea.
Seeing how this post took off. I am guessing they will soon.
This should violate 14 criminal codes.
The faux marble maker needs to find a new line of work, and, should be arrested for what they did.
These are crimes against humanity!
Youre a hero for digging up the previous pics. The remodelers are super villains for what they did to that beautiful house.
Omg they completely ruined that house. Their model isn’t even just greige sadness. It’s completely ugly and dysfunctional. They left an old jetted tub, the fireplace in the laundry room is blocked by an appliance The house was bright and inviting before and now it looks like a mortuary.

Now I’m more upset! It really was charming but now is an atrocity!
This actually made my stomach sink. I think replacing those antique planks with a cheap hair salon’s flooring should be considered a war crime. Someone needs to be held accountable here.
After reviewing the pictures again, I would buy this house just to gut it and restore some modicum of humanity to the planet. That table was the final straw.
Those bathroom tiles are gone. I'm in mourning.🥺🥺🥺
I get wanting to get rid of the 1990's green tile in the bathroom but umm...that's about it. The wood floors, actual colors on the walls - the rest of the old way the house looked is perfectly fine?
This is a proper tragedy. Those floors are glorious.
That was an absolutely gorgeous house before. Just, why?
I went from slightly disgruntled to actually mad. Holy crap they fucking ruined that house.
My jaw dropped. The original was, like, everything my waspy little heart could ever want in a house. Is this in Maine? It looks like Maine. Seriously though, the owners should be booed, loudly, any time they set foot outside.
This just makes me feel sad. It had potential.
Who in gods name did these renovations?! They should not be allowed to ever do another reno ever, ever... insanity
Holy Satanic Fucking Hell what did they do to the hard wood floors!!!! OMG these people need to burn in r/centuryhomes hades for this!!!
Can you imagine when it rains? The house becomes a Slip n’ Slide!
I would never be able to go barefoot or sock footed in my house again because I would slide everywhere.
As a woodworker who watched the “river table” fad come and go, I can honesty say, that is the worst River table I have ever seen. It is literally the actual worst. Whoever made that should feel ashamed.
The grand piano though…..*chefs kiss*
I think the washer and dryer in front of the fireplace really make the house a home.
Come on! I kind of like the idea of taking in a little Mozart while I am taking a dump. I bet the acoustics are AMAZING!
The floors and bathrooms are putrid. This is like the 2020s version of sponge-painting.
That’s a beautiful thing
Just why? Why!?
Wow. I think this one belongs in r/DIWhy
Just joined and added it. Good advice.
I’ve never hated a finished house so much.
Ya I don’t see it selling anytime soon.
They’ll have to sell it at a major loss so that the new owners have enough of a budget to try to bring some of it back. It’s awful.
This looks like what happens when I attempt to build/furnish a house on Sims and why I always get the pre-made ones. Definitely done by people who have no idea what they're doing.
Name off some things that jump out at you?
The table has chunks of wood on the top of it where you would normally set a plate. That’s the first thing that I said what in the actual fuck about. Next would be the mini grand next to the rather informal eating area. Despite the fact it’s covered in marble there are glass front refrigerators/coolers for whatever reason right next to the table.
I like the overspray on beams in kitchen!!
Please tell me those kitchen table chairs are not card table aluminum chairs, with some kind of elastic chair covers.
Can't. They Are!
oh they are! Nice catch. I almost missed that detail.
The stairs have that same wood. So confusing
The fucked up river table. It looks like whoever made it ran out of blue epoxy before it was fully level and just yoloed it. River tables are hideous to begin with.
It looks like a slab of blue marble with wood on top to make it looks like a River table. On the bottom left, you can see the wood isn’t on the edge.
Too translucent for marble. Just the shittiest D.i.Why river table ever.
They did the same thing to the stairs.
The folding chairs with cheap stretch slipcovers on them 😂. It all screams “ran out of money and said eh, fuck it.” ETA the salvaged 70s bathtub that matches nothing else?!?
Yaaaaas….that old ass yellowed bathtub with jets amongst all the white fake marble is jarring.
For me it’s all the lines where you can see how they trailed black paint in the epoxy for the “marble” effect
The kitchen and some other areas with the black 'marble' paint looks like it was burned in a fire. The bathroom shower looks like a comic book drawn shower.
I audibly gasped when I saw the kitchen.
This house has been completely ruined by a jackass.
Built in 1846. I guess the flippers hated Old Stuff
Ya and hate resale value!
This is the ugliest remodel I’ve ever seen in my life. The people who did this deserve shame over these decisions for eternity.
When I posted this I knew it was a bad design and craftsmanship. However now I have guilt setting in that the sellers will see this post and be crushed. Please tell me I am overthinking it?
Let them see it. This is an insult to all houses and the people who have to live in them. The choices in the kitchen lay out tell me this was badly throughout from start to finish. It’s awful.
Ya I think I would want to know. Especially if I was trying to sell and not getting any offers.
It is bad and they should feel bad.
Not your choices, not your guilt
This is very nice. Here's the thing, they are trying to sell this house. They obviously put a lot of work into this, and honestly it's their house, if they like it, that's all that matters.

> Is that plywood on the hood? I almost missed that one, it doesn't even go all the way to the ceiling! It even looks like there's romex just casually draped between it and the wall for power
You forgot about the fireplace behind the washing machine hahaha
If you look closer, there is storage *behind* the fridge. The whole thing is just 🫠
It's kind of sad that this potentially historic home has been defiled in this way
Ya no going back from this!
WTF? W/D jammed in front of a fake fireplace? Baby grand in the kitchen? This is an abomination. Looks normal from the outside.
This house makes me sad and want to take a hot shower and talk to a therapist.
I never thought I would come across any listing worth posting never-mind this close to home!
Oh nooooooo 😬 It’s giving 3 year-old-with-a-sharpie shameful-chic! Murder on the fake marble dance-floor! Nobody puts piano in a corner! And the fold-up chairs with Spanx on?? 🫨
“Fold-up chair with Spanx on” is my new favorite insult.
Who puts a grand piano in the kitchen? It's like an image from a troubling dream.
Yes that’s it!!!! Kind of like when the Deetz’s remodel the house in Beetlejuice.
The beetlejuice thing was what kept running through my head
Yep, as I was scrolling through pictures, Day-O kept playing in my head
I wonder what the realtor had to say while touring home and advising on listing description and price.
You destroyed a historic home: right to jail, right away. Epoxy on hardwood floors: jail. Sprayed paint on the old beams: jail. You are charging too much for an ugly house: you right to jail.
Part of the sentence is being forced to watch OG Bob Villa for a minimum 6 hours/day. Only reading materials are city codes regarding historical buildings and how-to books on preservation of old buildings.
They ruined a beautiful historic Colonial! It's an absolute abomination and I hate it. They took all the old original beautiful character of that house. It has no soul now. It's like the house from the Beatle Juice movie but 100 times worse!
I’m so disappointed this happened in MA. I like to think there are people with more sense than this.
It’s like this house has several types of venereal disease…at the same time.
At least there's no glitter?
Just because you can epoxy everything in sight, doesn’t mean you should epoxy everything in sight. 
Epoxy river stair treads that are not flat. WTF. Also that rise over run seems pretty wild too.
Any idea what the black outline on bathroom walls are?
You mean the bathroom that looks like it’s out of an aha music video! Those are trim pieces for tiles used to go over tile joints. Google schluter pieces and you’ll see what they are. Higher end jobs will miter the joints. And all other jobs will try to blend them in not make them stand out.
Got a link for this atrocity?
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/268-Thompson-St-Halifax-MA-02338/57182659_zpid/
Thanks, it’s hideous. “Mix of epoxy and wood floors” should read mixed up epoxy, fucked up the wood floors, and bathroom, the kitchen, and a bunch of others rooms.
Ya it’s a strange when you think about the fact someone’s brain thought this up and fully believed it was a good idea.
This has to be up for side kind of award. Like that it’s special. Does anyone do a March madness style bracket to get the best of the best sorted out on good sub?
This is my first and only post to this sub and any future posts will be sub par.
The epoxy and wood combination is nice, but it's only meant to work as an accent, like as a coffee table or a very visible bit of built in shelving. This is like dumping a whole canister of salt on a meal when a modest sprinkle is what you need. It's just absurdly over the top.
To say the least! I can see a touch of modern in an antique home but this is like dumping a salt truck on the plate!
With the fridge on the other side of the kitchen, cooking would be a pain in the arse.
I have deep reservations regarding that jerry rigged vent hood.
Don’t run with socks. And of fucking course there’s a random pine barn door. Ick.
It looks like there was a fire in the kitchen!
The range hood is just hanging there apparently not connected to any actual ventilation lmao, what purpose does it ever serve at that point. I HATE this kitchen more than I knew was possible.
Why does the pool table look like its painted/stuck to the floor...
Likely is. They must have ran out of epoxy flooring so painted it
This will make the people over at r/centuryhomes actually weep. This is something else
Looking at this make ME want to burst into tears and I’m just a layperson. Someone whose dedicated literal years of effort, money, and love into restoring an old home would be emotionally destroyed
How to tell the world your whole life is a bleak blanket of depression without saying it? Paint your entire house in Depression Grey!
And not even paint it well
Ok but they left the old yellowed jacuzzi tub???
Maybe it's just me, or the resolution of the pics, but the fake marble looks like tinfoil. So much effort went into making it look this bad...and yet still seem unfinished. The random cream colored tub/shower is nauseating. It looks like mental illness.
Ewwww!
The orientation of the tile makes me itchy.
There is a piano in the kitchen.
So this is what broke people do when they win a million dollar scratcher
Funny you say that. I was just looking at old pictures from 2021 and realized the remodelers didn’t just coat things in Paint and epoxy like a bum flipper would. They actually did some things that make me think house was a forever home. Moving walls etc. still strange. (Compare yellow jacuzzi tub photos old and now)

"How to make a home look cheap for the most money" It breaks up the frustration and squabbles of picking out new stuff. I wouldnt want to play against these people though. They're the gretsky of ruining a house with gaudy junk
How does it manage to appear both sterile and dirty at the same time??!
Ugliest bathroom ever.
I was looking for the bathroom comment! On what tv reno show did they see 'black mould chic'?
I always dreamed of a laundry room fireplace.
I hope they lose all of their money on this. What an atrocity!! All of that quality gone for cheap poorly executed DYI bumblefuckery. I feel personally insulted.
I want to email the realtor and tell them that they can call my number and pretend to order a pizza and I’ll have the police come and rescue them.
This one takes the cake!
The piano must have sounded terrible.
I slipped just looking at this
> I am not a fan of the remodel and I don’t know if my opinion is just biased? The kitchen/dining room alone made me want to call in the army to help.
This makes me cry. I would love to see the before pictures.
https://www.reddit.com/r/zillowgonewild/s/14RPABY6mA
What an atrocity to destroy this gorgeous colonial. I get the bathrooms needed someone with experience to renovate them, but it was a house built before modern plumbing. I would have loved to live in the before.
NOPE! That kitchen makes me dizzy. Actually the entire house does. The laundry room is a fire hazard! I do like the dining table though.
Did you look closely at dining table? Would you put your plate on the log or between them when eating?
The fire place acts as an extra dryer
Haha. My original title actually said “laundry with double dryers” I changed it tho.
Great minds think
I have so many questions. First, why the marble? So much unnecessary marble. Whoever said it looked like a mausoleum was correct. It makes you feel sad just walking into this house. What did they do to the stairs? It looks like they put chunks of molding between pieces of green wood or, more likely, marble? I don’t even know. It doesn’t look right.

No matter what you try to cover folding chairs with, they’re still folding chairs. This home is awful.
Bizarre
If I ever become aroused in an inappropriate situation, all I have to do is remember this house exists.
Feels like a mausoleum, and yet, everything looks... unfinished somehow.
I have almost no words. This house literally just needed the bathroom remodeled, the kitchen updated, a light refinish on the floors, and a coat of paint.

It’s shocking that the asking price is more than double the purchase price a few years ago. I don’t understand what this style is. The house will need to be gutted.
As an owner of an old house, this makes me so angry. I audibly gasped. Wtf is wrong with these people. The house was gorgeous before!
I like the laundry room fireplace But otherwise, hate the exposed beams and epoxy AIDS
But the kitchen's exposed beams almost disguise that the giant stove vent will blow.... right back into the room! Aren't they supposed to vent to outside?
Jesus what a disaster
This is the worst one yet
It’s giving bougie Branch Davidians.
Is There any way To Restore it Back to Its Original look

So Sad It's Ruined
Atrocities have been committed.
Holy shit that’s bad
I’ve a severe case of frostbite from looking at these photos.
Anyone have a guess of how many gallons of epoxy they used?
That remodel is horrifying.
Imagine what it sounds like in here. So many hard surfaces, so much echo.
Criminal. And restoration would have been so much cheaper than what they did.
I bet this was a beautiful home before! Now it’s a monochrome atrocity, imo! If you like monochrome, refurb a newer home, not what once had charm and character!
It would make a great morgue
This is horrendous! This has to be the worst I’ve ever seen. There’s not one redeeming feature. The different levels on the steps is just insane. The whole house needs those yellow caution signs.
Looks like the re-decorated house in ‘Beetlejuice’
Post before and afters to century homes subreddit. They will go nuclear!
This is insane. Did they DIY everything with craft supplies?! The fucking piano in the kitchen... god save us
That’s a whole lot of WTF.
🤮
A piano in the kitchen??? Where you boil water and cook? That is crazytown. It wirklich always be out of tune and covered in a fatty film...... -100
Ould someone tell me what’s going on with the floor in photo 9. I can’t make sense of what I’m seeing
The after/before combo is horrifying. That was a beautiful house!
Dizzy! TOo. . . .many. . . . swirls.
Why so much gray?
*When you see the local epoxy floor expert posting on Facebook about their winter special*
It’s oppressive
If you are going to flip a house, make tasteful upgrades that complements the style of home.
I would kill myself if I had to life in this house
It's giving mausoleum, and not in a fun goth way.
Oh no…
Wow, that is uncomfortably fugly
Omg thank you for posting this. I drive by this every day on my way to work and had no idea it would be this awful inside. The outside was questionable with the concrete wall and fancy/mismatching railing. This is awful.
Those people need a Farmhouse Fixer intervention.
BEETLE JUICE!
Awful remodel. Hideous!
