Tasteful Friends - Consider This $2M Kansas Manse Built for an Osmond-sized Family

I want to light every single piece of cabinetry in that house on fire.

All that dead grass landscaping is beautiful!

$2 million for a house in Kansas?!! What am I missing? Is it on 10 billion acres of farm land?

Obviously these owners need to read how upgrade their lives by getting rid of all color and clearing the counters.

[quote]Given the clues, it's possible this property is/was owned by an athlete from Kansas City's professional soccer team.

That explains a sign in one of the rooms that says "Manhappiness." The words above it are apparently "Kansas State" (and I assume "Manhappiness" is the presumably inaccurate nickname for Manhattan), making it a sports sign. I was baffled for a second.

The best sign in the house is the one that says "FAMILY" above the terlet.

Hideous. There are no redeeming qualities other than that it is a continent and a half distant from me.

The turquoise is the least of its problems

I see barn doors, multiple, word art, and shiplap on the ceilings. And acres of griege which I have to say the turquoise gives the eye relief from. And its a tacky McMansion

R6 is right, although its not as hideous as some other houses I've seen on here

Yes, R1, that awful pickled, gray, barnwood is what I call Gulag Chic. My brother sent me photos of it and I said it looks the cum shot of a guy who could only reach orgasm by setting himself on fire. I saved the day and they went with a beautiful warm oak finish instead.

What's in all those storage cabinets, I wonder. Guns? Doomsday supplies? Chainsaw-mounted dildos?

Every styling cliche from HGTV all in one BIG bundled mess of a house, but I think the thing that bothers me the most is that you can see every tacky square foot of it right from the front door

Revolting. Uninspiring mess.

Are they allergic to grass?

The owner is somehow involved in the Kansas City professional soccer team, KC Sporting. One of the kid's bedrooms is decorated with KC Sporting colors and emblems (pic 47), and the gym (pic 93) has a number of Major League Soccer scarves displayed.

If I did Kansas, it would be Johnson county or Lawrence. Anything else is literal violence!

R14 Spring Hill is just across the county line from Johnson County. You get all the same access to Costco, but with half the taxes and none of the Schvartzes or Democrats!

Why is there a grand staircase to..... a suite of dormered shitty rooms under the roof.

I mean, I guess the yellow-striped grass is a different look…

I guess these folks’ religion forbids window treatments.

It's huge but somehow manages to look cramped and cluttered.

Other than the kitchen appliances, everything else should be lit on fire.

So many questions:

1. How many Mormon families lived here?

2. How can you still sell a house with a swimming pool AND diving board?

Everything about it looks so unpleasant. No warmth, no coziness (forget about whimsy). And I can't see how that can be changed with that particular ghastly open floor concept.

The gap between the scale of the house and its quality is breathtaking. The siding even looks like vinyl and none of the furniture or cabinetry would look out of place in a motel.

It seems to have been boulot in a wooded area but all trees near the house have been obliterated for some reason. I guess to show off the lovely landscaping.

I'm embarrassed by the interior.

You could buy that place in Aberdeenshire Scotland for less and have a truly great house.

Depressing. It's a hodgepodge of styles with too much gray.
