For Sale in Arkansas: The House of Weird Photos

Hi! Are you thinking about buying this house? Here's what you'll see when you open the front door, but only if you open it just a little bit, like you're kind of timid and you don't want the water man to see what-all's going on inside your den.

This spacious den features an assortment of small tables and one orange chair.

Do you know what that orange chair is for?

It's for sitting all alone in the den and watching your family while they gather round the kitchen table and enjoy each others' company. Look at 'em there, sitting in their cool zebra-print dining chairs, smiling and chatting and eating their dinners like all is right in the world. Slouch back into your orange chair just a little bit more, and splay your legs out in front of you across the white area rug. Clink the ice in your bourbon a little bit and narrow your eyes. Smoking is optional.

OKAY, okay, I'l be fair: it's probable that these people had already moved their sofas out of the house for some reason and had to stage the room the best they could with just this one orange chair. But...it's odd. I love the orange paint in the dining area (it's very hard to find a nice orange paint, and orange is my favorite color so I'd know) and the house overall is lovely.

Final Verdict: I'll make an offer if both the orange chair and the zebra dining set convey.

For Sale in Arkansas: House with Adorable Nursery

This place has got some lovely decor. I'm serious. The people who live here have "an eye," as they say.

I mean, look at this child's room. It looks like it came from a magazine:

Here's a nicely done kitchen. Only if the washboard conveys! If you don't make a legal commitment to leave it behind, we're walking away from this deal.

Here's what Husband and I refer to as a "Proclamation Deck." Husband is always on the lookout for a good proclamation deck when he's shopping for properties. From up there, he could stand and address his people, who would, of course, all be gathered below, in rapt attention.

Final verdict: I'd put it on the list, as long as they leave the washboard and everything in the nursery. I don't care that the nursery is full of memories that the homeowners would probably like to take with them, and that I no longer have an infant. That nursery is perfect and should be left intact.
