GTKY first impression

none5 · January 2014

If a stranger were to walk through the front door of your house/apartment/dwelling right now, what would they think? If they glanced around your main living space, what impression would they get? Go!

They would think an 80 year old woman lived here. Our furniture is mostly hand-me-down antiques. We have a Victrola and records, and lots of old, heavy furniture. And the 80 year old had a grandkid because there are some toys in the corner

smiles21866 · January 2014

They would think I have 15 kids because hello toys galore--everyyyyywhere!

JSS1002 · January 2014

They would say "holy shiz that kitchen is amazing."

Because it is. That's why we bought the house, and that is what EVERYBODY says. The rest of the house is just normal, uninteresting...but the kitchen is amazing.:-)

And then they'd say "Jesus, she could at least sweep or wipe down the counters sometimes," because the floors are really dark and show every single speck, and the granite is speckled and hides every bit... until you touch them. And then, ew.

"Where's the floor?"

ARJ6511 · January 2014

Oooh I want to see this fabulous kitchen as well!

They would say, "this is nice"! We get that a lot. We have an average house with a few upgrades, but it's perfect for us and suits us well. And they would probably look at all of DD's toys scattered about.

@libbyloohoo - we have the same play set.... Under 6 inches of snow in the backyard though.

People would why there is dog hair all over the floor of toys r us at our house.

hatroopes · January 2014

I'm pretty sure it's mid-January, those Christmas decorations/tree can go down now

Erin10408 · January 2014

@JSS1002...Pic, please We also bought our house for the kitchen. It's a rambler and the previous owners gutted the horrible rambler galley kitchen and turned it into a huge, open kitchen/dining that walks out to the deck. It sold us the minute we walked into the house.

They would say "What kind of clean freaks live here? Oh, and nice floors"

My husband and I are both mega clean, and he sells flooring.So...nice floors in our house.

suedell · January 2014

They would think we used to have a nice, cozy house with some style and aesthetic sense... And then we had children.

squatchiebaby · January 2014

Oh my gosh, I think this every morning before I walk out the door. Our house doesn't stay as clean anymore and I have anxiety about someone coming in and seeing it dirty. I would be embarrassed, even if it was someone breaking into my house!

MKC12/22/2006 · January 2014

This house has been overrun by a tiny tyrant.

Sol1790 · January 2014

They would wonder how I could fit so much stuff into a tiny apartment.

tondraluv · January 2014

Immediately walking in the door they'd think 7 people live in my house because of all the shoes in the 'shoe bucket". walking into the kitchen they'd think that its a frat house because there's so much beer everywhere.

ChicagoBroad26 · January 2014

"Wow, these people took 50 Shades of Grey way too seriously". But not in a kinky way

My whole house (except for the kids rooms and basement) is shades of grey with white and black accents and pops of color. It's really soothing to me!

superToots · January 2014

They might think we got robbed! Haha. The kids make quite a mess during the day @-)

bibliophileemily · January 2014

They would probably be a little freaked out by the fact that I am sitting in my bra and underwear on the couch.

This! We have outgrown our house and the toys have taken over!

Mommymorticia · January 2014

Well, you certainly have a long haired dog.

You love blue tones (actually no, I have no idea how my whole living room became blue/black/grey).

Love skulls

They would probably think my dining table is weird. It's a gothic antique with the tall back red velvet chairs.

Show us the table!!

ClandestineX · January 2014

At this moment:

"Is this a rental?" Because there is no furniture in it.

Last year in my apartment:

"Does 200 electricians and a gamer live here?"

K, as soon as I get home I'll post it in the pip your house thread.

1) "why are there power tools in your kitchen....and foyer.....and bathroom...?" (We are doing a whole house remodel.....we are currently in year three) 2). "You fence in your baby?" (See #1)

Lhyacinth888 · January 2014

How many kids live here?!

wendalsue · January 2014

Exactly how many cats are there? Too many....too many.

24ladybug · January 2014

Be surprised that we only have one kid. And wonder what the heck what's the pile of junk? I have a big pile of Christmas gifts that I refuse to let any further in the house. Most will end up at good will.

ChicagoBroad26 · January 2014

When Ava was tiny I did an "Ava TV: Cribs" edition. So here are some pics from that.

Dining room
Kitchen (looks pretty good for 20 years old- going to redo it within the next couple years)
Family room (we are going to paint that huge wood insert white when we knock out the back walls and combine it with the kitchen)
Living room (with our cousins, and I've changed some stuff since this pic three years ago)

ChicagoBroad26 · January 2014

Whoops! Wrong thread.

LOL! We only get that reaction about our garage. It's a four car tandem, so it is pretty awesome

If a stranger came into my house and never saw the garage, theyd think "Did a torando pass through here?" Between the toys everywhere and the stuff piled up on surfaces, my house is currently a wreck. I'm working on changing that, but boy is it hard when there are 5 people in the house.
