This home exists in Avon, CT.

I'm not even sure if this is even the right forum to place this post, so I apologize if it might be off topic.

I just want to know, have many of you have seen this style of interior design in other homes you've visited? If so, what vintage was it from?

I have no words to describe this, I can't figure out what style was being used.

The appliances in the kitchen look like 1990's, but the style of the kitchen is certainly not.

Any ideas? Opinions?

I'm thinking

maybe they weren't finished with it yet. 

 

It appears to be in the process of being stripped down.   Maybe I'm being too positive.

 

 
 
No Thank You.

Seems to be some kind of cross between Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - kind of 'Primitive Disney'.

 

It says it was decorated by a professional, but fails to say what KIND of professional.

 

I think it would make me want to hurl.

Eclectic Vomit comes to mind

Not a fan of the color choices used and most of it looks like pure chaos. I might shoot myself if I had to live in that.

The living room ceiling over the fireplace looks just like the foyer in my grandma's house did after the wallpaper was ripped down from the glue marks.
 
"what style was being used"

....hmmmmmm ... no one! I wouldn't call this a "style". It seems more insane confusion and no sense of any kind of aesthetics. To barf!
 
Not even the garage was safe

I pitty the realestate agent that is representing this property... How would you even prepare a prespective buyer for this? Unique one of a kind finishing completed by a professional!
Professional???? What???

This is a video from 2008...

Not that I would ever consider buying this house, but if I did, it would be an "complete tear down" for me.  

Way too much work both inside and out to try to <strong style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">resuscitate this hideous old thing.</span></strong>

 

 
Is this a joke?

I could buy a house like it that needs a gut and redo around here for $180,000.
The music in the video suggests a quality home that has been updated to the 9's.
 
an insight to HGTV's don't list?

definitely one of those homes where the pictures doesn't do it justice.....

if there was a design scheme, you have to give them credit for keeping that through out the home....

I don't even think "U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi!" is too short of a word to use...

Halloween is just around the corner......although I doubt a ghost would haunt this place....

the only thing I think I would give consideration to would be the lid rack, granted I would tuck it away in a pantry, but seems like a nice way to store and locate them...

oddly enough, someone would actually buy this.....most likely a cat person...check that, a 30+ feline minimum person....

you know what the problem is, there was no laundry room to pull it all together
 
Looked at this---ARE YOU KIDDING????Roll out the dumpster and the demo tools-this place is going to get an EXTREME MAKEOVER!!!Those door frames are just too much-looks like someone got drunk on the jigsaw!!!It shows-in that place the only taste those folks have is in their mouth!
 
Looked at the Realtor videos-HATE to be the one that has to try to sell THAT place-the WHOLE place-I would take the backhoe or dozer and knock the whole thing down and start over!The artsy-fartsy stuff is just TOO much-the designs CLASH together badly.Would take a VERY special person to buy that house-bet its going to be on the market for a LONG time!!!And the buyer would probably ask for price cuts to pay for the renovations.This is the WORST I have EVER seen!
 
It just looks like scraps of material and wood that they found in peoples trash and brought it home and put it up, down and around. Bottles of glue splashed around and painted over. There is no design to this place what so ever. Don't see this selling to anyone. Too big for a single person who would like it and I don't see more than 1 person liking it so forget a couple purchasing it. Everything about it is depressing and disgusting. Not my cup of tea. lmfao
Would be interesting to see how long this stays on the market and what the price in the end will be, if it ever sells.

It is amazing when looking at houses for sale what you will find in the lines of personal preferences for decorating. 

 

When I was house hunting a few years back, I looked at one house that had been decorated in PURPLE.  Everything was purple, from roof to floor.  Carpets, walls, cabinets, countertops, sinks, toilets, curtains, Purple.   The only thing that was not some shade of purple was the front door; it was bright red.

 

The agent said the seller was offering a $10,000 re-decorating allowance on the price.  It would have taken that much just to change the carpeting.
 
It's like someone apprenticed with TV's Esther Extraordinaire but never finished her course!

There was a guy in Chicago named Edgar Miller who did use scrap tile and such and his work came out cool.
 
I checked the Synkov site. One or two of the pics there look like they came from that house.

Maybe Synkov PAID the owner(s) serious $$$ to use their house as a lab? But I really couldn't look at any one pic very long without my brain threatening revolt...

If it's not from Synkov, I have to go with eclectic vomit...

It's something else..for sure

but I wonder if the sellers are dead? I say this because I worked with a girl who had a wonderful vintage home in a high dollar neighborhood. She butchered the place..as in removed the kitchen, took out the full bath, took out 1 of 2 bedrooms, sealed up the fireplace..wtf? who's going to buy that? When I made a comment about it one day she said she was going to stay there until she died and she wanted the house to suit her...she said her family could worry about what to do with the property after she died. I wonder if that's what the seller did. To be honest at first I thought it was decorated for Halloween, but then realized what I was looking at...omg
