For SALE- The perfect Crappy House
FOR SALE!!!- a 2700 sq. ft. gem in the Crappy House style made popular in neighborhoods across America and on TV shows like "Flip That House".

The Quintessential Crappy House
Formal Dining Room- No one uses Dining Rooms anymore. They are useless rooms people like World Market and Pier 1 subsidize in order to sell their useless crap to populate them with. Please stop making houses with formal dining rooms. If you must make a dining room, please don't have two arched entryways into the room, making it essentially useless for any other purpose other than holding a mahogany piece of furniture which requires periodic Endusting.

Could use some Ting-Ting
Granite Counter tops- Would everyone stop watching Flip this House? No one likes Granite counter tops other than Realtors. They will tell you it will improve your resell value. You know what would improve your resell value? Lowering the price because of the $5,000 you didn't spend on granite counters.

Those granite counters sure look expensive!
Granite counter tops are not pretty and their extremely hard surfaces only serve to accentuate the museum-like reverberation required in the Crappiest House because of it's vaulted/cathedral ceilings.
Cathedral Ceilings- There's nothing like talking on the phone to someone and having them ask if you're at a museum. "No," you say, "I'm at my house, which has 45 ft. ceilings and makes my singing sound angelic like the Cathedral at Notre Dame".

It also makes your conversations sound unintelligible, and makes you feel tiny and exposed in a space that's supposed to make you feel comfy and safe. Again, Realtors tell you they're nice, but they do not make for a livable space. Please, don't buy a house with cathedral ceilings. Boycott them, make the builders and Realtors sorry for what they've done. Cathedral ceilings are a blight upon the homely home.

A Living Room only M.C. Escher could love (and Realtors)

What the angels see when you're watching Flip That House
Arched window over two story Foyer- Could there by anything more iconic in the Crappy House style than the arched window over the front door of a two-story foyer? This delightful motif has delighted generations of builders and Realtors with a false sense of aesthetic achievement and beauty. These are hideous inventions of people who's idea of pretty is brass chandeliers and ionic columns on carpet.


Columns on Carpet- Stunning.
