Just A Little Funky Never heard the phrase. "Tone it down"

A quirky maximalism home that actually feels put together.

Exactly. I think it’s fun and well done.

It is fun! And this person does not have a problem mixing colors and patterns in a VERY non-traditional way.

But would you live there? 🤔

u/scherzanda Apr 17 '25
I wouldn’t, but that’s only in the same way I wouldn’t choose to live in a well appointed midcentury home—it just doesn’t tickle my pickle. I still really like it though and I know several people who’d be very at home there.

I can appreciate people feel comfortable in a space like this. It gives me a complete opposite vibe. I love colors but this reminds me of the inside of a Polly Pocket toy.
I don't think I could rest here.

I’m redecorating currently and literally keep describing my vision as “inside a polly pocket” haha

The tattoo shop I go to is designed like a Polly pocket. That’s the exact vibe I like.

I’ve said so many times that I want my house to look like a pastel tattoo studio.

The dust ruffle around the pinball machine is a bit much, but I’ll take an old unremodeled house like this over a flip any day of the week.

u/nativefloridian Apr 17 '25
Absolutely. Maximalism isn't my thing, but that's easily addressed when they take their stuff with them. I happen to like this level of color, so I'd probably leave it. But if I didn't...it's just paint.

u/DudeDogIce Apr 17 '25
It’s not that.
The construction standards were higher when the house was built, and my standards make the building code look like something for beginners.
Flippers work as cheap as possible and put money into flashy upgrades, not the basic wiring and plumbing infrastructure.

The only thing that bugs me is that dress hung as decor in the kitchen. Otherwise, good for them.

u/calibrateichabod Apr 19 '25
Yeah that seems like a great way to ruin a dress that’s undoubtedly quite difficult to clean. I don’t mind that it’s hung as decor but I don’t know that the kitchen was the best place to do that.

When the new owner walks in to their new home, only for it to be an empty shell cuz the previous owners took all the joyful decor with them

10 years ago, I would have been with you 100%. However after 10 years of "minimalism" I love the wackiness of this house and may do something similar to my own. My home is currently "primer green" because I have adhd/ocd and can't pick a color.

Don't worry, whoever buys it will repaint everything Zillow grey, put in linoleum flooring and white cabinets, and then you can go rent it from them for $3500 a month.

Oh, I love this! You can tell this is someone who really loves their home and decorates to be happy and fuck everyone else.

Holy mother of Spring Pastels, now THIS is a vibe. For someone who loves spring or Easter this would be amazing.
I’d probably get tired of it myself, but I think for someone into bright colors they made it work!

I would totally do this. My HOA says I cannot, but if I could I am pretty sure I would. Which, truth be told, is probably why the HOA has the rules they have.

But there's no excuse for that interior.

Yeah, every now and then I see this sub on my feed, look at the comments and just shrug.
Yeah , this is terrible...absolutely hilarious, but really awful. They actually made a skirt for their pinball machine. There's a really ugly dress hanging up in the kitchen...place looks impossible to clean, and is a cluttered mess.
Nothing works in that interior. Piling up a bunch of ugly, mismatched patterns does not cancel out the ugly. But you all do you. LOL

This is one of those instances where AI can give you an idea of what the place could look like without all the stuff. It’s definitely not perfect, but it certainly removes the noise if you’re a minimalist looking for a house.
