Flowers sure do dress up a room! . . . or two. But where’d they get the budget to deck this house on Morningside Dr. with so many identical arrangements and vases?
***
Built in 1930. 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths; 4,360 sq. ft. on a half an acre. Listed since the beginning of December at $1.15 million. Vase not included.
What’s not to love about an mls listing with a theme?! I’d like to see future listings featuring garden gnomes, or maybe some of the warriors that Forbidden Gardens is trying to pawn off.
omg so funny!
On the bed, in the yard…
On a ceiling fan or bobbing in a pool would also be attractive.
BERNICE! I NEED TO TAKE THE PICTURES OF THE BEDROOM! BRING ME THE VASE OF WILTING FLOWERS!
NO, THE OTHER VASE WITH THE OTHER WILTING FLOWERS!
Actually, bring me a couple of vases of wilting flowers! Make sure there is one in the sink!
lmao at the ones in the yard!!! I’m surprised it’s not advertised as “professional landscaping”
Hee hee hee!
Wilting floral arrangements aside, some fresh paint would make this fine old home shine. Love the floors and woodwork.
Seriously – in the bathroom sink? In the yard? By the pool? It’s like if you crossed Ladies Home Journal with Dr. Seuss (“Would you, could you on the grass? Would you, could you on desk of glass? What about near the commode? Or three vases, on the road?”)
That’s too funny. Maybe they did it as a joke or thinking it might go ‘viral’ ?
This is so ridiculous, it must be a photoshop prank. I am falling off my chair with laughter, however.
This is SO the Old Braeswood version of ‘DAY OF THE TRIFIDS.’

This the Old Braeswood version of ‘Day of the Trifids.’

In the film version, however, the Triffids are not experimental plants. Instead they are space aliens whose spores have arrived in an earlier meteor shower. And the plants can move around on their own.
That’s just weird.
I was reminded of a 4rth grade “Flat Stanley” project.
But Cooperella has me totally fired up- I want to start displaying my listings with a Chinese terra cotta warrior peeping out of every corner.
New cottage industry just sprung up: flower staging.
LT wins this one. :-)
I am late to this garden party but I’m howling right now!!
Roaming gnome gone floral. It would have been fun to watch the staging of this. “Here…or here?”
How distracting and just stupid. Arrangements look like ones left over after a funeral…or scavenged from a gravesite.
Cheap old poorly arranged flowers in random silly places? Sold!
LT for the win.
The knotty pine paneling in the den, is nice. I would love to have a room like that.
I too think these pics are so ridiculous they must be a prank!
This is a lovely home and needs little in the way of staging.
LT – Thank you for making me laugh out loud. Too funny….
But I still don’t like green eggs and ham!!
You’d think for $1.15 million they’d get a better photographer.
The traveling garden gnomes….first thing I thought of too when I saw the flowers!
I agree that this must have been a joke. Even if it started as a real attempt at dressing up the photos, it got ridiculous and they went with it. I hope the homeowner has a sense of humor, because it certainly doesn’t help to sell the home. I also agree that, for the money, some professional photos are in order!
I saw these photos a few weeks ago… Hilarious! I guess they really wanted to get their moneys worth from those floral arrangements! Almost as fun as “Where’s Waldo.”
People hoard all sorts of things. Cats, dogs, newspapers, paper clips. And flower arrangements.
This is a new trend.
