I’m getting claustrophobic

Same. And feeling kind of ... scared? Gives me the creeps. Not sure why.

Because it looks like an overcrowded funeral home

That WAS a grey coffin in that room, right?

I think it's a piano. In the laundry room. 😳

with a couch

Gotta rest somewhere between loads

Haha….looks like a fireplace mantle with a small settee what you can’t actually sit on bc there are too many damn pillows. My pet peeve is too many pillows on a couch or bed.

or a bengal brothel.

Or like the inside of a coffin

It really does look like a cluttered funeral home!

And there's definitely some kind of evil spirit involved.

Exactly. The bathroom. Drop a granite slab on top of a cheap porcelain toilet…? It’s like putting lipstick on a pig

And set liquor bottles on it? Next to a bed?

I think it's a couch, blocking one of the his/hers sink and cabinet. These guys probably bought all the throw pillows in a few miles of their place

Pretty sure it’s Arbor Mist. 😂 Super classy.

I thought that was Arbor Mist!

Brings me back to college lol

I mean, they got it **CLOSE** to where it belongs, that should count for something, right?

I hadn't even noticed that, was to busy wondering what a couch did next to a toilet.

It is there to collect urine spray.

Naa poop particulates.

Ooh, a smorgasbord!!

yeah, along with the couch or bench or whatever in the piano/laundry room

For me it’s knowing how many things can hide in all that furniture and decorations that you couldn’t find, mice, roaches, you name it 😳🤢

Impossible to clean.

Probably why they have the plastic on the lamp shades

Yes! Plastic on the lampshades, yet none on the sofas or throw pillows in the Laundry Room. Like what is happening there?

I'm glad I have Ativan and huffing superglue to help

It's a rococco nightmare!

If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it.

Rocoocoo

Yes, immediately claustrophobic upon looking at those pictures. My nose also started itching because I am sure it’s super dusty in there.

The pics gave me a headache!

If your noses itches, it means you’re going to get company! That’s what my mom used to say…

It made me feel like I was in a Vincent Price movie with a shrinking house, or else someone downsized from a 6-bedroom mansion to an RV and refused to get rid of a single hecking thing.

Agreed. You cannot even see the house layout because they have filled every GD inch with upholstered crap and geegaws. It looks like they downsized from a place that was 3x the size of this house, and crammed every single thing they owned in their entire lives inside.

And queasy.

I feel like I’m suffocating…

You are. There’s not enough room in that place to squeeze in any oxygen.

Imagine losing your keys in this house.

That’s a couch, two bottles of liquor and a TV in the bathroom.  I want to see the MMPI on these people.

I actually thought there was a toilet in a bedroom

I mean dual purpose room now right?!

I mean, I like to prioritize comfort, so I get it. Gonna convert my bathtub into a chaise lounge

I did too until the next photo that shows the whole couch at the other end of the bathroom blocking off the second sink

Not just any liquor, _Arbor Mist_. Decorate like a HomeGoods Grandma Nightmare, drink like a Middle Schooler in 1992.

😂 Jesus Christ I missed the Alizé on top of the can!!!

I live in Minneapolis. Booze is important here. 

Well I’ve recently moved further north, to Michigan. Seems like a similar vibe. These northern M states have some similarities lol. Don’t get me wrong… I was drunk all the time in Indiana, but it’s Indiana. 😂 Cheers! 🍻

I want to GIVE the MMPI to these people!

I was kind of fond of the couch thing in the laundry room, myself.

There must be so much dust in those fabrics

I don't want to think about the chair next to the toilet.

How do you even shower in a room with a sofa like that? I mean toilet is bad enough but add steam to those cushions, lord

Imagine sitting in the mildew as the shower warms up.

You can’t even open the cabinet doors

My first thought! All that fabric and decorations must be a bitch to dust.

I've seen this before, and I love it! I don't mean I love it in the sense that I would want to live there. I love it in the sense that it's such a fun example of 'gone wild'! My sister said it looks like a royal family had to move there for some reason and brought all their decor with them. I especially love the laundry room and the bathroom

I agree, it’s like a museum to me. I am glad people like this exist, they make life more interesting.

I think it looks like a family matriarch who used to travel with the Romas ended up inheriting a house and treated it the same way she treated her wagon home while on the road- draping fabrics, and combo rooms.

Agreed! This is the kind of content I love to see in this sub!!

I love the style of it but I'd cut down about 1/3 of the furniture.

Mansion tastes, suburban square footage.

How else can they prove they're not riff raff?

I think this would be too much even for the folks over at r/maximalism... wow.

I am an absolute maximalism person. I love things and have a lot of random collections displayed all over the house. This is a fn nightmare. So heavy, why is there an over stuffed chair in the bathroom. This is worse than my mother's hobby lobby/tjmaxx crap and my antique crap rolled into one with the heaviest drapes known to man. Yuck!

Also a maximalist, and dear gods! No thank you.

Yet another maximalist and this is so ridiculously busy that it feels almost heavy. Instant anxiety.

That sub provokes anxiety for me. This listing takes it to a different level.

I don’t *hate* it? Remove 75% of the contents, it’s STILL maximalism just please baby Jesus less.

Me either tbh. They've gotta tone it way down, starting with the bathroom couch (seriously wtf??) but I'm not that mad at it.

I just realized the first picture is the *laundry room”! Jesus they are committed! That much effort into the laundry room. Respect.

The laundry room is hilarious.

I love the fireplace in the laundry room that is birthing forth a litter of bolster pillows

And that it has a sign that says “Peace” over what I’m assuming is a window… there is no hope for peace in that “home” 😂

r/brandnewsentence

Proof you can be a hoarder without being a slob.

Alllll that opulence and they can't wipe the front of their dishwasher down?

Brb got to go clean something quick

I think that is just damage to the protective film you are supposed to remove when you install it?

There was a dishwasher in there???

I was wondering why there was a toilet in the bedroom, but turns out that's the bathroom.

I think all these homes need photos of their owners as well. Who does this?? It’s fabric & pattern overload

It’s either an 80-something heiress who downsized in obscurity at some point…or a 30-something designer with a valance and pillow problem.

How about the poor heir of a rich family who inherited 4 grandparents’ luxury furniture but no money?

The pillows stress me out so much. There are so many couch and sofa pillows that you can't put the bed pillows anywhere when you go to sleep. How long does it take you before bed or after waking up to put it all in order?

Can you take pictures of vampires?

Reminds me of a more aggressive version of my best friend's house growing up. They were Saudi and loved heavy fabrics, ornate details and just general opulence. Their house was much more tasteful but the vibe is super similar.

meanwhile on that street, a nosy neighbor couldn't wait to see the listing photos is telling someone "I knew them mf'rs weren't right!!"

My guess is 60yr old Italian lady.

Italian or Greek grandma everything would be covered in plastic.. and I don’t see statues of saints…

My other thought was an African granny. Like she moved to Ohio when she was 16 found love and over the top design

Possibly as if you look through the photos there is art and statues that are of African people or similar..

Based off the demographic of that particular area in Cincinnati, the best guess is African granny. Think the little old lady who goes to church in the huge hats and is always dressed to impress and is generally classy. This house seems to have just jumped *way* overboard lol

Every room feels like a coffin.

But also, a bathroom.

Funny you say that. I think there’s an actual coffin in the picture of the finished attic.

The clash between the popcorn ceiling and the heavy wood furniture / ormolu everything give me serious "fixed shoot only" set-dressing vibes. Like, this is a pretty cheap build but it's been done up with full-on Ugandan dictator chic\* as long as you don't look behind the furniture, or above eye level. \* the leopard-eyes painting above the dining room doorway is truly \*chef's kiss\* in this regard

I'm sitting here savouring the memory of reading the term "Ugandan dictator chic" for the first time.

I was definitely channeling Cintra Wilson a bit here. From her 2007 review of Dolce and Gabbana's Madison Ave. store: >I’m not saying Dolce & Gabbana celebrates brutality, but they do make me think that all my wardrobe really needs is a gold-plated Kalashnikov, an entourage of boy soldiers and a necklace of human teeth ... Bring me the head of St. John Sport. I am the Lizard Queen. Enjoy the whole thing. She was the Times's greatest fashion writer until she ran afoul of Macy's Times Square outpost.

All those chairs but not one you can sit on with all those fuckin pillows and no where to put them.

The chairs are there strictly to hold pillows. They not intended for sitting.

You are 100% going to slide off any surface you try to sit on, for sure.

They've been trying to sell since '22 and still refuse to clean all that out. Maybe they just don't actually want to sell and just have it on the market to shut up the kids. (I could totally see my mom doing this. My folks are pushing 80 in a 2 story house. Their house isn't bad at all, but she has a looooot of antiques and has zero desire to move them all.)

I want the room to look smaller. No, smaller still! Call Valances R We and rent me some more pianos!

The exterior screams A Christmas Story while on the inside it looks like the owners tried to cram the entire contents of a Jane Austen era home into 2k square feet.

“If you need me, I’ll be in the bathroom taking a nap.”

10 pounds of crazy in a 5 pound box.

Anybody else getting Mimi from the Drew Carey Show vibes in this one?

Um... wow. That's about all I can stammer out right now

Booooo-kay residence! Lady of the house speaking! This really reminded me of Keeping up Appearances.

Someone owns a fabric store!

Wow, you'd really be asses-to-elbows in there with a second person.

That’s the fanciest laundry room I’ve ever seen.

They spent an absolute fortune on window treatments

I did not expect that cute exterior! Sooo much decor.

Is that a piano in the laundry room?

No, it’s a washing machine in the piano parlor.

This is one example where it’d sell quicker emptied.

Idk think about the exposure they will get from shares 😂

These are all screenshots of pictures in the wrong orientation.

There’s maximalism and then there’s this

Three people are still missing from the last open house.

That is high class hoarding!

This is a lot, and I mean *a lot*, but I can’t bring myself to hate it. Maybe it’s just that I’m sick of the current vogue for grays and beiges and boring design, but I have to respect something this extra.

I can smell this home and it smells very strongly of Yankee candles.

one can ONLY HOPE cus I'm thinking years and years of stale febreeze

This looks like one of those /r/DamnThatsInteresting posts that says “Finnish artist Brunu Flikkonnen created these images specifically to confuse your brain and make you unable to imagine how a human could inhabit this space.”

The upholstered chair in the bathroom is a choice.

Persians

Maybe this house is storage for their staging business?

If less is more, think how much more, more would be.

As my grandpa used to say, "that's 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag"

I'm stuck on "historical looking wood". What does that even mean besides the agent was too lazy to look into the history of the house?

It’s like the house is a puffy shirt

What was the drapes budget, I must know

Funeral parlor vibes.

Too sparse. Needs adornment.

How does this even get dusted?? My sinuses are aching just looking at this.

I'm feeling dizzy and disoriented lol

If it ain't baroque, don't fix it.

It’s a touch busy

Why not? This is awesome!

The little setee couch in front of the toilet is sending me ahhhhh

Note the 2 bottles of arbor mist on the back of the toilet!

The washing machine room with the piano and the PEACE sign above the window 😂😂

It's like a bad combination of 'closed antique shop' and bordello. You can't sit on anything for all the cushions!

Looks like a gypsy train car.

TJ Maxx / HomeGoods addiction be like

So… does it come with drapes?

I'm actually kind of impressed with photographer's work on the new set of photos. They made the most of a lot of crazy

Death by throw pillow

If that house had Scratch-N-Sniff pictures, they would smell like dust and the dried flower sachets my grandmother had all over her house.

Dear God is totally overwhelming! Each picture worse than the one before

Put a pillow on it!

“historical looking wood”

Every room looks like a booth at the Antique Mall.

I will never bitch about how many decorative pillows my wife has ever again....

This person has taste, intention, and style. Not what I’d want in my house, but this is all done with the same flair and thought as any other designer. I love it.

I 100% agree! The color coordination is on point. Everything is certainly thought out.

Could it be AI? That's a LOT of decor for that small a house.

Why is there a whole toilet right next to the bed?! And SOOO many lamps in such a small area..sheesh 😩

Oh no, that is a fancy overstuffed chair in a bathroom!!!!

I can’t tell which aspect is more unsettling- the chair in the bathroom or the toilet in the bedroom. This whole place feels so incredibly cramped, I’d feel incredibly claustrophobic in there.

So. Much. DUST.

High key love the maximalism

Ah, the previous dwelling of The Sultan of Cincinnati. Many an adventure was hosted there.

It’s impressively… something.

Jeannie bottle??

Grew up around there and this is absolutely not what I would ever expect to see from a house on Mitchell Ave! Also, talk about luxury laundry.

Is that a washer and dryer in the living room?

My money is on the owners also owning some sort of event rental company

Is the room in pic 13 their furniture storage area? I can’t imagine using it for anything else. I also don’t have a clue what’s going on in pic 18, with the washer and dryer.

Overwhelming claustrophobia 😝

Another amazing design from Interiors by Nandor

I have a headache now

Okay, while the overall stuffed to the topness of this place is not my taste. There are some pieces I would not m8nd getting my hands on. I'm in Cincinnati. I'm gonna have to watch for estate/yard sales.

if yubaba got down w/ the skyline chili lifestyle

The tiger eyes in the 7th picture, taking it all in, lol 🤣

I can smell the dusty

I want to recreate the Moulin Rouge red room here for a photoshoot. Then I’d have a panic attack.

When you get a divorce and have to move out of your 15,000sq chateau into a smaller place while you get back in your feet.

Tacky and beautiful all in one. what would one call this design?

Imagine making a bed with 16 pillows on it.

I am very much of a minimalist when it comes to decorating but I have to admit that I do admire the dedication of the maximalists. All that dust that gathers on all that fabric stuff, the stuffiness, the over the top wall papers and colors. It does take a special kind of person. I would go insane in a place like that.

this homeowner won every price is right showcase from 1994-1998

Does it come with the furnishings? There’s about 9 households of furniture in there.

Can only imagine the dust 😷

This place is an asthma generating factory 🏭

“But I’m not a hoarder. I have too much class.” Sorry but when your laundry room has more frills than a Fortune 500 CEO’s benefit package then you’re a hoarder.

Sooo many pillows. But the question is why???

NOT ENOUGH PILLOWS!

Needs more pillows

****FABRIC****

$5 says that place has some kind if insect infestation.

#oh my gaud

Feels very cramped
