Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The line that has made up for people loving ugly things since the dawn of time. And while it might technically be true, one can only help but feel that saying it in this day and age is completely ironic. And it is. So today we have a selection of images from the homes of some people who live on the outer edge of the beauty spectrum.

The kind of people who look at the discount bins at Walmart and buy everything because they are priceless artifacts. The kind of people who look at an antique house and say, yes that is exactly the design and layout i always dreamed of having, I want people to come over and think I am a grandmother from the year 1950. They are painfully cringy and will make you thankful for your relatively 'normal' looking home in comparison, we can guarantee that.

Well, they do say that mirrors make a room feel bigger. The question being, at what point do they stop looking like a room and start looking like a mirror maze. This example looks relatively room-like as it is, but you add one small mirror on the exposed wall on the left, and it might be hard to get out of this baby’s nightmare room.

And if you wondered what a room with so many mirrors in it, that it looks like a mirror maze looks like, then look no further for here it is. The only bathroom in the world that you would have more trouble getting out off, than the trouble of doing your business in. actually, that might be tough too with all the yous looking back at you.
