Peregrine Took
(7,414 posts)The photos are taken with no regard at all. Sloppy house, unmade beds, dishes in the sink and the inevitable photo of the toilet.
What's with that? I assume they have one.

I think the first one might have been done by someone who is colorblind.

(7,529 posts)I don't know if the color in the picture is off, but other than the wall being a little too green - if the were a bit bluer it looks like they were using the earth tone+sky colors in the trunk as a reference palette. The wall by the trunk *does* look bluer to match, the far ceiling corner looks as though it just needs cleaned or repainted (or may be reflecting a grass tone from outside the windows?). The pink door is a legit accent choice.
It's a great conversation pit, I'd just change the walls to make it a little less "dentist office". Bluer walls (match the tabletop), red door to match the carpet, and change the curtain on the left to a neutral or containing the burnt-orange couch tone, and it's actually fine. I'd also elect to paint the ceiling either same as the walls or matching the door. With a palette that vivid, you can't include too many extra off-colors.

the suburb of Barrington, mentioned in the article, where the author says 9 of the 10 worst offending houses are located.
They are into ostentation there. A house I drove by on my way to work looked like a castle, complete with turrets, and was reputed to have 13,000 square feet of living space.

Phentex
(16,334 posts)the builder had it in the back with the guest bedroom in front but they changed the plan and now have the bathroom in the front with very large windows and blinds that they never open. If they had put it in the back, the large tub would overlook the woods. No, now the bedroom has small windows along the top edge of the room and no view.
