Ajax really isn't that expensive

Yeah, the kitchen's a pit. But what do you expect? It's on the market for just $67,500. How much work can you expect the people selling it do do?

Oh.

Wait.

Not $67,500. I misread that.

This kitchen is in a FREAKING $675,000 HOUSE AND OH MY GOD THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T MOVE TO SAN FRANCISCO.

Know what would happen if I lived in this house Seth found? Within five minutes of moving in, I would somehow manage to drop my keys right... there.

I like the optimism of these photos from the same listing:

A little scrubbing, a little vacuuming, and it'll be fine.

Ommmmmm

Relax. Breath deeply. Be one with the universe. Meditate on the calm blankness of this listing Amanda found. The real estate agent within me honors the real estate agent within you.

Ka-thump ka-thump ka-thump ka-thump

Sadly, the real estate agent fell down the stairs and was never heard from again.

Oh, Lord. It's hot and humid (by Western Washington standards, i.e. above 65 degrees F) and we don't have air conditioning and the kiddie pool sprung a leak and I spent the morning cleaning the garage and just looking at this listing Sandra found makes my eyes itch. So I share the joy. Here! For you! Still Life with Quarterback, Bird Cage.

Good Lord, those are enormous, pointy... curtains.

It's worth it to be so close to Archie McPhee's

 

You're trying to sell a house. You could try to get the blue tarp out of the way, a job that would take all of five minutes... or you could say "It's only a quarter million bucks for a two-bedroom, 100-year-old house with a wood stove for heat. Screw it," and just take the photo.
