My mom did the red/green thing in her bathroom back in the day so I’m weirdly nostalgic for it. I guess this is an office? It’s mostly a collection of things just for the sake of things. Also get used to weird stairs because nothing in this home seems to be on the same level. Whomst remembers swag? Absolutely dated bit of millennial slang now. Sitting at $2.5million (that’s a lot of oil money) and 6500 square feet, it’s just another example of how everything’s bigger in Texas. We’re back in Denton County, Texas, one of the ground zeros of McMansion Hell, with a “Greek Revival” house built in 1989 but remodeled in the early aughts. Tiers above $10/month get a selection of exclusive merch along with other benefits. All in all, it’s more of what you want from McMansion Hell. $10/month tiers now get a bonus livestream that’s much more intimate and also includes voice chat participation. $5/month tiers still get a monthly house roasting livestream complete with bingo. $3/month tiers will now receive an entire bonus MMH post in addition to the Good House posts that follow every edition of MMH. Anyway, before I get started, I’m back now and have some good news, which is that the McMansion Hell Patreon tiers have been updated – it’s never been such a good time to support McMansion Hell.įor $1/month you can get access to the Good House posts (McMansion Eyebleach) and the wonderful McMansion Hell Discord, a great, friendly community which is where many houses on here now come from. Howdy folks! Pardon my July hiatus, as I was uhhhh covering the Tour de France. Not into recurring payments? Try the tip jar, because I live in Chicago and winter heating bills are coming Bonus posts will be up tomorrow, and there’s still time to catch me livestreaming terrible home design shows from the 90s on Thursday: If you like this post and want more like it, support McMansion Hell on Patreon for as little as $1/month for access to great bonus content including extra posts and livestreams. It’s like putting lounge chairs in the middle of an airport hallway.įinally, the back side of this house which is marginally better than the castle stuff.Īnyway, thanks for joining me on this confounding journey. They had to find some kind of use for the McMansion foyer interzone despite the fact that it is a “room” with no walls that is clearly an oversized traffic area.

You’ve got to give them credit where credit is due here. So i guess? nail on some moldings? but they’re brown because they have to match the doors instead of the white baseboards?Īs a bonus, this room is the easiest for dressing up for Halloween. And yet (and yet) we still want that tray ceiling look because this is 2002. However, for some reason that is unacceptable. BUT THEN WHAT ABOUT THE WINDOW? Well we could move the window down two feet or replace it with a more normal window shape, you know one that makes a modicum of sense. OK SO instead of doing a tray ceiling in the middle of the room, what if we did like, a double soffit with recessed lights.
#HELL ARCHITECT CHARACTERS WINDOWS#
Now we need the two narrowest windows WITH a big fanlight on top. I am trying to understand the thought process here.

There’s a weird Dracula subtext going on here and it makes me uncomfortable. Tbh I wish they stuck with the hokey castle thing instead of making a house that looks like a bank lobby. Yeah, you know what would look good in this mostly neutral room? a painting with a clown palette. It’s subtle, yes, but when you start to notice it, it becomes infuriating. Nothing, and I mean nothing in this house matches, coordinates, flows, or makes sense. It’s like Mark Zuckerberg trying to be human. Here is my theory: the people who live in this house do not understand what houses are nor how one behaves in them. Now, you might be thinking that this house will be decked out in the cheesiest middle ages decor imaginable – yes, Kate, surely you shall be showing us a cromulent McCastle specimen. For such a pittance, one receives 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and around 5,000 square feet. This house, built during the ripe housing bubble era of 2002, will only cost the good sir a marginal $3.2 million.
#HELL ARCHITECT CHARACTERS TV#
The house on special is, one could say, fit for a king but like maybe one of those kings that sells used cars on tv in the wee hours of the night. Howdy folks! Today I’ve decided to return to a long-neglected place of terrible vibes, Oakland County, Michigan.
