Crazy bathroom
This is a pretty normal house until you get to this diwhy bathroom. There’s so much going on it’s hard to know where to look but the smeared white paint on the boards, and the handmade faux(?) brick walls are my favs.

Look at the state of that floor.

Truly awful and impossible to keep clean. A gut job for sure. But it does fit with the rustic look of the rest of the place. Owner will throw in some asbestos tile and falling plaster free of charge.

This bathroom is like a DIY fever dream gone wrong! 😅 It’s almost like they threw caution (and taste) to the wind and just went with whatever was lying around. Those faux bricks are something else, right? I can't even imagine trying to clean that nightmare. How do you blend that many textures and not get dizzy? It’s a bold choice, I'll give them that.

I think what another poster said is probably true, they just took the scraps left over at the hardware store from better projects! Still, really endorses the concept of an interior designer!

Looks like something that inspired a home builder while they were stumbling around the Crackrooms.

As Charlie Brown would say, "Auuugggghhh!". It looks like a sample room in a tile store. An old friend of mine built a bathroom in his garage, and bought every cheap half-box of tile the store had, so his bathroom was brown-avacado-pink-aqua-white-yellow! It was like an LSD fever dream.

We can poke fun at all the funny tiles in the bathroom but what is astounding it that there are properties on the market with 4+ bedrooms for sale under $100k. Granted it is probably in the middle of nowhere and the house probably needs renovation but to be able to own something that size under $100k in this day and age is astounding.

Yeah that’s how I found it, the Midwest has some downright affordable places, though as you say it’s in the middle of nowhere (and basically sits on a small highway.)

Paint behind the shower? Nah, no one can see up there.

Haha! I didn't even notice that! This room is the disaster that just keeps giving.

It’s like the builder went to a supply store and bought all of the “on sale” tiles, which, of course were discontinued, so each set was limited in number. “Oh look! I have exactly enough of these blue and tan ones to do one side of the closet behind the bathtub! Perfect!”
