My life, as art

I have a great love for this song and video, Tim Minchin's "Canvas Bags":



It's an anthem for me, for what I do every day. It makes me feel like a superhero. Yes! I, too, take my canvas bags, take my canvas bags, take my canvas bags to the supermarket! So I understand the appeal of seeing the quotidian in artwork.

That said -- I really don't understand this painting Heather found. Or, more to the point, I don't understand why it's in the listing:

Locks are for breaking


Well, I don't know... the house seems okay, but I was looking for something that had been broken into lately. What? Really? Great!

I feel so good in my neighborhood



Guy found this classy living room. At least it's a break from the overly-staged sets usually found in real estate listings... a nice, relaxing break....

Flush at your own risk



This bold bit of decorating was found by Jeremy, who suspects that there was a murder in the toilet. We've all had roommates like that.

Cabin fever



Kathleen found this house. Who wouldn't want to spend a long winter here, all cozy and snug?

Green light. Red light!



For families who really like playing Red Light, Green Light. Really like it. Perhaps at a professional level.

The floor mats, they do nothing


There seems to be an industrial-strength hallway runner here... protecting the carpet? From... from... from what, exactly? And for what optimistic reason?
