You also get a twofer with this house. Once again a photo to show where the fire will start (the unprotected fireplace) AND an upstairs room with an unprotected flue running up through it! I think the sinks are just trying to run away and have only gotten this far!
I'm thinking the owners suffered from a severe case of potamophobia (the fear of running water...) - or maybe a just a fear of porcelain, though google as I may there doesn't seem to be a name for that one!
Fixer upper, for sure! I bet you had trouble picking photos to feature as there are many that would boggle the mind. Gosh, there's a 1970's I Dream of Jeannie hanging fireplace and carpet that crawls up one of the walls. And then there's a STOVEPIPE....(probably from the fireplace) running up through one of the rooms. Yeah, that meets code requirements. Wow.

You really don't want to know what happened to the toilets. They've seen things...terrible things...

they may hate sinks, but they certainly like looking at themselves- check out all of those mirrors in one corner of the room!
All I can say is wow, it's a good thing that one bedroom is painted Pepto Bismol pink because gawd knows you will be seeking F-A-S-T R-E-L-I-E-F if you by that house. Oh, wait. That was Rolaids. @Paul I'm ROFL. Redrum sknis!!!
I'm surprised no one mentioned the commercial style soap dispenser in the 'bathroom' LOL!!!

OmG! I never laughed so hard in such a long time until I saw this blog entry! I can imagine the person yelling "Stoopid Sinks!" and throwing them or throwing things on them!
now, in all fairness we don't know that it was the owner that hurt the sinks. To me, it looks like the cabinet is actually just very jealous of all the sink's attention and is taking out it's wrath and beating up on the poor defensless sink!
ps--- laughed so hard again, I was crying!

I believe the owner of this house hates sinks. Really hates sinks. Dumb sinks, with all their drains and their water and... and... yeah. Sinks! Take that! Who's all wet now, huh?
Although actually, the bottom one looks more joyful than revengeful. Like someone was unpacking and going "the sink goes THERE!" and tossing it into the corner. Whee!
(P.S. I'm having some computer problems -- ones involving flames and smoke and such -- so please don't take it personally if I'm slow to reply to e-mails the next few days.)
"Stoopid sinks."

I think that the kitchen in the top picture could really go shabby chic...did anyone notice the appliqué above the "jumping" sink?
LOL

They hate sinks, perhaps, but LOVE mirrors. What's the deal?

Is it just me, or is there a giant whisk hanging from the ceiling in photo #5?
BTW, I'd buy this rat hole just for the fireplace. Man, that's dope.

Okay: somebody look at Street View and tell me: does the next house have 15 little fluffy dogs in the front yard?

Now that they've taken out their revenge on every sink in the house, they can go calm down in the pink room.
Also mirrors make rooms, and sink destruction, look bigger. The more the merrier.
