Another one bites the dust...

Post by JacquieJet »

Just read this article in one of our local newspapers (online). This poor house has had virtually all the original features removed and thrown away...

Where do these idiots get their money ? A $ 375,000 renovation is a lot of $$$$$$.

But what can you expect from a person who proudly shows off her room full of Pez dispensers ?

“My inner 12-year-old is very satisfied with this room,” she laughs.

I think her inner 12 year old also made the decorating choices.

Boy, I bet their contractor was happy with those numbers.

It's just so...bad.

I just discovered that you can click through on the main pic, that has before photos. It was a house that needed some work, but what they did to it, right down to the bad colors...

Oh! I didn't realize that!
What the heck was with that half-painted bannister? Umm, ok.
Anyway, still sad to see yet another old house gutted to the studs and "modernized". Boo.
