30 Comments on UGLY HOUSE CONTEST - ENTER AND WIN!
Hi Jennie - Wow!! Lime green??? Hey, to each their own. The best house I heard about (sorry don't have a photo), had the greek flag painted on it. No, it wasn't in the movie. It really exists in South Carolina. I did not personally see it, however, a realtor and lawyer down there told me all about it.
The house is in a development, and the neighbors are up in arms. The owner has been told he has to paint it to conform with the other homes. He is a very wealthy man, and does not want to change his house. Last I heard, he was being fined 100 per day, to get rid of this "eyesore", however, he said he would never change it.
I don't know the result of this situation. I guess it goes to show what some consider "art" others see as an eyesore.
This is fun! Thanks to all that have commented - I still want to see photos - so go through your collections and see if you have any candidates!
Ashley - that middle finger house - wow! At first you kind of think, maybe he was just trying to be artistic, but then reading the article - intentional for sure! That's amazing!
Rich - Can't wait to see your submissions!

I think that the first green monster is definitely worse!
Here in Charleston, we have lots of colorful homes. And they aren't always tastefully done. I'll have to go out and photograph some to compare to your two.
Jennie,
I don't know if your pictures can be beat! Those are definately front runners.
Here is another one - I know it is not as gaudy as the first (although the turquoise trim is a nice touch) - but I have to share that the front of the yard had a big "BEWARE OF DOG" sign on the fence and then 2 tiny chihuahuas barking at me! Priceless!
And then there is this next one - driving by I took this picture of this drab brown house that looks like it really could use a drink of fresh paint - and what you can't see are the 2 uniformed police officers that were in the doorway - talking to the owners. Oops!
And this one - it is not as gaudy as the first one - but at least the GREEN MONSTER had landscaping that looked OK. This house is UGLY all over!
Last submission for today - someone above wrote about the yards with all the decorative things in the front - so I saw this one and snapped a picture. All the little ducks and geese, pots, and big lanterns make for a "WHOA!" I did not know the person was crouched over planting things - sorry for the butt shot.

Oh boy, I had better get taking photos..I have a lot in a particular area about 15 minutes from my house. I can't wait to share. The first green one takes the cake! You gotta love it when people pair two equally hidious colors together on the house and try to co-ordinate them! LOL
Another combo I see a lot is turqoise and bright pink, really-who picks these colors?!
OMG! Jennie, there sure are a lot of ugly houses where you live. LOL! Good thing you're there to save them, but I am willing to bet these people would be resistant to staging, am I right?
I never awarded the UGLY HOUSE CONTEST WINNER - as I was hoping some of YOU would submit your own. When you start looking for them - they are there! I did have to drive to some areas I normally am not in to seek them out - and with a quick shutter as I did the "drive by" I captured some good candidates.
The WINNER for this round is: TA DA! The
First posting the GREEN & YELLOW MONSTER! As people pointed out - the sellers really seemed to have a plan for how they were going to paint the house - and so that is what made it the best of the worst!!
Let's do this again sometime!!
Jennie
Jennie,
THE GREEN BAY PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. Okay, those UGLY houses HAD to be in North Highlands or Citrus Heights......
Here in Raleigh we have Brick or Vinyl..... hard to ugly that up but I will search!
dave does
I bet that house looks good in X MAS . .with lights all over it. .is there an HOA in that neighborhood?
Ha Haa haa this is funny I need to start posting some pictures.

I thought I could have won the contest for the ugliest house,but I only have a "Shack" of an apartment. It's sure ugly, though. But it was uglier when it had mold growing under the sink for about two years, before the Land... I mean Slumlord finally removed the cabinet, but didn't even bother to replace it. I've been contemplating taking him to court for sometime...Oh, Yeah ! I have plenty of pictures from the last two years or more. You should see my "New" Door he brought to me !
Well, it's a real ugly dark brown color, with paint chips out of it...underneath it it kinda white, and green spots. Talk about bad taste ! After 6 years living here (fixed income,so it's hard to qualify to get a nice place) Oh, yeah... I have to tape up the door on the inside, cause it has long cracks in it. If you go outside at night, you can see into my apt.
Go Figure ! I keep hoping that I could maybe "Win" a place . Fat chance !
My Dad saw my place one time, and all he could say was " You could do better "
He says I live like a bum ! I'm so embarrased, I wont let anyone come to visit from my Family !
Just thought you'd like to see some pics of my Ugly Apt !
How do you post a pic here?
Still havent heard how to post a picture on here ...... I'm sure you will agree that I have not only the smallest place in Tampa, but also the UGLIEST !!!!
Man I gotta tell you those are some real ugly homes!
