Who among us has not ripped up the carpet in a fit of annoyance (or perhaps just boredom) and then painted the subflooring underneath, er, bright blue, while simultaneously painting the walls bright green, erm, including all the outlet covers? Point is, who am I to judge this particular crime? I mean, after all, I… Read More
See that right there? You may not realize it but what you are looking at is irony in paint. Karmic retribution. All of the gods are laughing at me. Why, you ask? Because that’s my neighbor’s house. I’ve done all this poking fun of rainbow-hued siding, salmon colored walls, putrescent green bathrooms and now I’m getting my… Read More
You never know what you are going to find in the cage next door. Behold (drum roll)……………. A possum in a pocketbook While I was showing a house in Fort Wood, I couldn’t help but notice that there was a purse hanging in a cage on the property next door. Being the curious person that… Read More
Just because you put a picket fence across it, don’t make a 2nd story door to nowhere right. PS. I love when I’m showing a house and a buyer walks into a room, gasps, and then yells ‘you need to come take a picture of this for your blog!’

I found the evidence of this particular crime while pre-viewing a 5,000 sq foot house in Windstone. Just goes to show you that money can’t buy taste! And honestly, y’all, the picture doesn’t do it justice, it looked far worse in person. I just love the way the grotesque peachy-coral color really makes the putrescent… Read More
Those who live in NW Georgia might recognize this house. I find it to be in such horrifyingly bad taste that I’ve got to admire the person who picked out those colors, thereby giving the proverbial finger to anybody who might dare question his choices. This is a true individual, not someone who follows the… Read More
My only regret is that I didn’t get to see this in person. I lifted this photo, with permission, from a real estate website in Phoenix (courtesy of Greg Swann). I made it safe for work by adding my own touches. Yes, this is an actual house for sale. I can only assume that this… Read More
I’ve been baking. ‘Nuff said. I’m not a baker. I like to cook. But a confectioner, I. Am. Not. Ever watch Top Chef and hear them whine and moan about how they aren’t pastry chefs? That was kinda me the last couple of days. I made the mistake of reading a real estate blog where… Read More
