There’s a historical Texan burial plot in the front yard!

I like it. Blush

My eyes!

HogMother · 25/04/2019 06:41

It’s very pink, and then there’s the kitchen 😱

youknowmedontyou · 25/04/2019 06:44

Oh dear!

Namechangeymcnamechange11 · 25/04/2019 06:44

Blimey that's somethingConfused

Are all those plants fake ones? Because they look dead if not.

AmeriAnn · 25/04/2019 06:55

I thought it was a doll's house and thought I see a giant finger poking through the window, or an eyeball.

Orangecake123 · 25/04/2019 06:58

The kitchen - just wow.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 25/04/2019 06:58

Plants everywhere except the garden. Odd.

MrsMozartMkII · 25/04/2019 07:02

Oh my eyes! That kitchen...

Preggosaurus9 · 25/04/2019 07:04

Whattt!

JenniferJareau · 25/04/2019 07:06

That's going to take more than a few tins of Dulux Brilliant White to paint over for whoever buys it!

Sunnysidegold · 25/04/2019 07:06

Well that's something special! Did you see the owner painted the kitchen and walls themselves?! Bizarre.

rosieposey · 25/04/2019 07:07

'Historical Texans burial plot' ... no? Just me then Shock

Poltergeist anyone?

SoupDragon · 25/04/2019 07:13

It's absolutely not to my taste (unsurprisingly!) but I think it's amazing! 😂

I do want the thing that looks like a giant cabbage in the kitchen though. Unless it is actually a giant cabbage. I also want the cow hide ottoman in one of the bedrooms- it stands out so much as it's the only non coloured thing in the house!

Seeing a house that isn't greige and styled bland to sell does make me smile.

domton · 25/04/2019 07:15

Love the main kitchen cupboards.

Shame really that it will probably revert to beige/cream/magnolia, after someone has spent a great deal of time and money expressing their obviously very quirky personality :)

Not my cup of tea but wow. Somebody head really loved that home.

It's not my taste but good for her to decorate it exactly as she likes it without caring about fashion or practicality (dusting would have to be a hobby in there). At first I thought she lived alone living her childhood prinsessy dream and then I saw the blue room with the cubs mirror so I guess she has a son.

cranstonmanor · 25/04/2019 07:22

@SoupDragon
It's a bowl (soup turreen?) Haven't seen them since the 80s. Keep an eye out on ebay, I saw some in tge same style there, but not the exact same bowl.

QueenOfThorns · 25/04/2019 07:41

I also thought the ottoman in the bedroom stood out a bit, but I think it’s Dalmatian, not cow! Maybe a late family pet?

BrennieGirl · 25/04/2019 08:03

Well it wouldn't show the dirt.

UCOforAC12 · 25/04/2019 08:42

I couldn't tell where the burial plot was in the photos?

There’s so much to see I missed details like the cabbage bowl. I was also disappointed not to see a photo of the burial site, but then again that could perhaps be considered disrespectful.

I thought pink and leafy was to everyone's taste?

BettysLeftTentacle · 25/04/2019 20:18

Now THAT is a work of art.

How are you supposed to get into the wardrobe in Picture 20? Move the bed every morning and evening?
