And this is why we need a newer house

So after a lot of online looking, I have concluded that we need to buy a newer house out in the 'ha. I think this photo will explain why.


I mean, what's going on here? There's a bed, a fireplace and a bathtub. Let's look at that again. Bed, fireplace and tub. Is that a sink in the corner? So is this leaning toward a bathroom? Are those then plastic sheets? Is this like, the ultimate Ladies Man Room? Where's the little fridge? What on earth would make anyone want to do this to a family room/bathroom/bedroom in the first place, let alone take a photo of it and advertise it? Upon further inspection, is that carpet under the bed? So they tiled around the bed? This photo might explain why I've had a headache since last Thursday.

I can't find the charger for our bloody digital camera, so who knows how long the house-hunting-photography will last. But no matter what, you'll eventually get some evidence of the escapade.

And up along the wall adjacent to the tub (back corner of picture), did they line the wall with tile (or perhaps even mirrored tiles) as well, or is that simply a window? Judging by the theme they have going on, I'm guessing it's the former.

It almost seems like a room you would expect to stay in at an inn or bed and breakfast type place, without an ounce of the quaintness.
