This is a good one. The whole toilet, that u shaped one in front of the toilet and the area rug that match. Yikes

*20x20 photos of couples from their wedding day
*too many photos of couples from their wedding day (or just too many photos of the couple in general)
*smokers smell
*any Disney memorabilia (that doesn't belong to your children)

Velvet paintings, dirty garbage pails (as Lisa mentioned), sticky countertops, bad carpeting.

OMG yes! I know somwone guilty of that, in addition to having a old fashioned toy crib filled with stuffed animals! And buckets of souvenir pencils--in the living room!

I hate most collections.

And I hate an "entertainment" in the bathroom. ( books, magazines, crossword puzzles, gameboys. . .)

ETA- And framed needle points. I don't know why-they just bug me.

I cringe at:
Stuffed animals
Plastic-covered couches or chairs
Contemporary furniture (my faves are leather sectionals with the puffy backs bonus if they are white or ivory, and formica wall units)
85 million wedding enlargements all over (is there no other day in your life worth displaying?)
Animal smells
Faux fireplaces (I don't get it?)





While we were house hunting,some peoples houses had about 10 wedding pictures displayed. That is just way too many!!!!

When people collect favors from weddings, christenings etc and display them. My MIL does this and drives me BATTY!





SO DOES MY MIL!!!!!!! She has a whole china cabinet devoted to wedding favors that range over a span of 30 years!! I thought she was the only one who held on to those things.

It's all a matter of taste, but I can't stand country decor, with lots of fruit and flowery prints.

Animal hair and smell bothers me a lot.

Otherwise, there isn't much...everyone has his or her own taste, and I respect that.

I agree with the poster who said pets that sit on the furniture. I hate when people ask me to sit down on their couch and all I see is dog hair. I dont want to be rude but....no I am not sitting in it...yuck!

When the home feels like a museum that you are not allowed to touch or when furniture is really uncomfortable.

Understood...but would you put them out if it were only you and her in the house? I'm not talking she was hosting a party for 50!

Dark ring on the inside of the toilet bowl.

Old food left out on the tables, coffee tables, counters etc. (Think apple core or coffee mug with chunks in the bottom).

Overflowing ash trays. Yuck!
