No heating, no cooling, 738 square feet, and it started at $288,000? Seriously, where I live, for $288,000 you could buy a four bedroom NEW home with granite countertops and a full basement, fenced yard, etc. That house here would not sell for over $50,000.
No heating? I guess the purple chimney doesn't even work.
Also I've seen that room before. It was in Interior Desecrations by James Lileks. The book version :)

Love the purple chimney, though. Nice try.

That room has been eating too many carrots and its skin has turned orange!

Dear photographer. Please look at your camera and see if there's something labelled WB. That is not a button only for Warner Brothers.

Decorated by people who were not afraid of color, but should have been!
Seriously, no heating? Is Oakland that warm?

That house is the picture perfect icon for Countrywide's current financial situation. It even has their colors.

Why are the Manson bars on the inside of the house, and can I buy this for my mother?
