I wonder how long it took them to find a bath that unpleasant.

I see they have what looks like "live love laugh" on the walls which is such a bad taste cliche but then they have "wash" under the bathroom basin. I'm wondering if they have similar instructions elsewhere, like the toilet.

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, it just says 'Poop' under the front gable of the house, so you get the general idea

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

If you look closer it actually says "naff".

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Except it says “love | laugh | love” 🤨

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sometimes I get the urge to decorate my house with signs of every permutation of "Laugh", "Live", and "Love" except for the popular one.

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I want "power | courage | wisdom"

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Bloody Hell, it does and all. I mean, I... well... but why?

I've seen worse. My coworker and I had been booked into an AirBnB once, as hotels were all full. We've been told "One bed and one couch" - not good, but works in a pinch. Wrong. It was one double bed in the flat of an absolute, over the top gay males couple. Not only was the double bed a thing we would not accept, but the worst was that the room was all over decorated with pictures of naked men. NOPE. Not our style.

So we went bed-hunting, and were extremely lucky to find two hotel rooms that had been cancelled by someone else that day. When we sent in the invoices to the accouting department, they were not happy - Why would we book hotel rooms if there was a booked and paid AirBnB? I sent them two photos I had taken of the AirBnB room, and they paid the hotel bill without any more questions.

The OTT decor makes it sound like the whole purpose of AirBnB'ing is to see if any guys who stay there might be down to fuck.

Cool if that's your personal space but not so cool when it's an AirBnB anyone could be staying in.

I don't think I'd feel comfortable with that, and I say that as someone who is pretty gay.

It's Miss Piggy's basement bachelorette pad.

[–] some_guy 15 points 1 year ago

The chairs and table are pushed up to the wall. Yeah, you can pull it to the center of the room when using it, but it feels impractical and emphasizes that it’s boxed in. The greatest crime, however, is words. Laugh, Love, WASH?! I was gonna grant a pass until I saw the last one. Stop it.

What is with this trend of having bows or handles on the backs of chairs? Why? Just why?

[–] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve only seen bows on chairs at wedding receptions. Not my taste for a wedding. Definitely not my taste for my dining room.

Oh dear, that's 27 minutes from me. Must. Resist. Going.

[–] apis@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can't hold out on us like this. We need you to go & return with a full report.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm scared to, what if it draws me in and I start thinking "this is actually OK" when it really isn't.

I dunno, I think I could work with that kitchen

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

On the bright side you can guarantee it has never been cooked in so the appliances are new. They nuked some pizza a few times and made that one smoothie. Remember to take the hang tag out of the oven before you turn it on.

[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Complete with fake Chanel rug?!

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh no, the decor is all going into the bonfire out back

[–] thehatfox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I will never understand putting rugs and carpets in the wettest rooms of the house.

[–] thehatfox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the Karcher pressure washer box, it really pulls the room together.

It's like someone with no taste had to fit out the house, and had a £3000 gift card for The Range.

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

the wristwatch on the wall really pulls it all together. in 20 years ppl will hang smartwatches on their wall

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This looks like a player house in final fantasy 14

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

If only it would auto demolish after a month of no one going inside

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I agree how can you possibly love and laugh without live?

[–] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)
[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

When every fool knows, it's "laugh, love, wash". It's the only hygienic order.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe they assume we are already alive because we are standing there reading it, and we don't need further instruction, aside from WASH.

Ah, what did I came here to do again?

Oh yeah...

Is this person related to Liberace by chance?

[–] nbailey@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Oh my god this is what happens if grandma smokes too much crack

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I kinda like the sliced ham carpet.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

That's just sliced ham.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'd call this style Gypsy Glitter Vomit

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm intrigued by that towel around the bath

[–] apis@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Damn, had mistaken that for some bizarre moulded effect, inspired by seashells.

But it is just a peach beach towel with a ridged weave.

So disappointed.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When you're a rich Lolita.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Or a drag queen.

This is far too small and standard British working class to be a McMansion. I do love that sub though. There’s one on lemmy too: !mcmansionhell@sh.itjust.works

[–] wall_inhabiter@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the heads-up about the community

oh ya about the garish design more than architecture

[–] buh@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

this has to be AI generated, the perspectives in that bathroom are fucekd up and too many parts are unnaturally blurry

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

I think the bathroom is just really small, and so the picture was taken with a fish eye lens so they could get everything in the photo

I do like the bathtubs texture actually.
