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.
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.
Honestly, I'm digging the interior of this house in a weird way. It's not how I'd choose to decorate but I admire the dedication to their aesthetic I suppose.
What I am absolutely offended by is the state of that garden. The interior of the house has so much personality and yet the garden is so depressing and grey? The house is full of flowers and yet I cannot see a single flower in the garden!!
At least there's water-permeable gravel over just slabs of concrete I suppose...

It's functional aimed at zero maintenance. What I find weird is that the back "garden" has signs of life and it looks like they entertain there quite a bit, but the front is just a great void - completely wasted space. There's quite a lot of gravelled gardens around here but people usually do something with it - large upright stones, dwarf conifers, railway sleepers, water features, etc I've seen one go for a Zen/Buddhist look. All low maintenance but at least something to break up the pebbly vista.

It's almost always over a permeable membrane to keep the weeds out.
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.
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.
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
