If that ceiling doesn’t open up to a helicopter landing pad what’s even the point.

I dare say that almost every room in this house has an eclectic ceiling: https://www.redfin.com/GA/Covington/4189-Emory-St-NW-30014/home/24187470

You know, in context, it kind of works. It’s a bit funky but it has its own style.

Granted, that style is “I’ll drown this house in wooden panels to protect it from that popcorn ceilings bullshit” but yeah.

Wood ceilings in a bathroom though, not the best idea.

Omg I love it!! The wooden ceiling panel in the living room(?) is gorgeous. GA is Georgia though, right? In the south? I would have thought aircon is must there, but then I’m in the UK and only need to use a fan a handful of times a year. Are electric ceiling fans like that enough to keep the house cool?

It likely has air-conditioning as well. Ceiling fans are usually an added bonus. And. yes, GA is Georgia.

I reckon if you were wearing socks and got a good run-up, you could slide the width of the house.

None of those photos look real. They’ve all been heavily photo shopped.

Fan + Ceiling = 🔥 Light Fixture + Ceiling = 🔥 Fan + Light Fixture = mid

I’d argue it’s still 🔥

There’s a lot of design I really love from that era, but the light fixture looks like it smells bad. Meaning I have never been in a place with a similar light that didn’t stink like cigarettes, mold, and/or piss.

To be fair, it’s not like the head of the fan spins, just the blades

I’m going to buy this house just so I can ask the owners what the big silvery appliance is (a double-doored fridge?) and more importantly, why is it placed somewhere so inconvenient.

Yes its a fridge.

It’s the double doors that’s vexing me. Is it freezer on the left, and fridge on the right? If it’s all fridge, do you open one side, realise what you’re looking for isn’t there and have to open the other? Or is both opened at the same time, and it seems like some grand gesture every time you want a yoghurt?

As for placement, it’s more that it seems to be blocking access to that corner of the kitchen, and made the dishwasher a sod to load. It’s created a ‘you can have the dishwasher open, or the fridge open, but not both’ situation

These types of fridges are fairly common in the US, and usually the freezer is on the left. Some models also have ice dispensers. If you have the space for it and a large family, it’s very practical.

Here’s what one looks like full and open.y parents have a fridge like this and I personally prefer my freezer on top fridge but I get why these have some appeal. But where you put a frozen pizza is beyond me. I don’t think they would fit in the freezer.

Edit: Oh, would it help if I added the link to the picture though?

We looked at side by sides like that when we last bought appliances. The left is usually the freezer and the right is the fridge.

I think the fisheye lens is distorting a little bit, but really I don’t know how often I have to have the dishwasher and the fridge open at the same time. But that’s my experience with my pretty small kitchen.

It’s about the light fixture. OP made that very clear. Do you not read headlines before you comment?

Those fridges are available quite widely in UK now. Quite convenient I think. You need room for them though.

Terrible Estate Agent Photos

!badrealestate@feddit.uk

Create post

Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.

Posting guidelines.

Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:

  • the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)

  • the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)

  • the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)

  • the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.

  • Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.

  • Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.

  • Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content

Rules.

This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  • Be civil, remember the human.
  • No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
  • Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  • Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  • Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  • Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  • No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  • No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
