It’s pretty cool! Would be fun to fix it up.

Well that's ornate! I can see potential in that house, but you'd have to get rid of 3/4 of the stuff! And the curtains. I imagine I would start sneezing the moment I walked through the door.

whoa. very "regal" was my first thought from the outside and then to the interior photos.. i *think* regal is what the owner was going for but i would say thank heavens for that giant spot in front of the multi vehicle garage because THAT is exactly there the donation truck and the dumpster will be parked.
holy hell that is a LOT of stuff in one house. my nose started prickling like i was going to sneeze looking at it all and all that dusting.
apparently, if one is good - dozens are better. and way.too.many.dead.things.
i, again (i always say this!), quite like the house and think it could be amazing. would love to see one of those before and after shows of this house.

Oh my... I was wondering what ever happened to Mrs. Havisham's house! I LOVE the outside (except the weird bacteria looking hot dogs all over the flat parts), but the inside makes my teeth itch. The stained glass windows are gorgeous, it's a shame there's so much crap detracting from them.

Holy moly, the STUFF! I would love to get a closer look at all of it. The outside of the house, esp. the front, is quite nice other than the weird hotdogs - great description, btw. The stained glass is wonderful, I love the stairway chandelier, and some of the ceiling treatments. It has lots of potential after the stuff is gone. TFS!

The design aesthetic? Put a busy print on the ceiling. Put an even busier, competing print on the walls. Add a printed rug that doesn't match either. Hang the heaviest, gaudiest draperies you can find. Then FILL with stuff -- ALL the stuff.
Holy moly.
But I will say, that house was chocked full of really good antique and vintage items. I could make a fortune selling the contents of that house.

Whoa... you could be there all day long just looking at the stuff inside. I don't even know what it would look like once empty... interesting!

That’s what I call visual overload. Way too much stuff. Way too many dead things. Way too many competing colors and patterns and styles and textures.  Reminds me of those hidden object games. Find seventeen pairs of antlers! Find six chandeliers! Find four bear heads! |

What's that little tub/sink in the one bathroom? It would hurt my back to give a child a bath in it. Is it a urinal? A mop sink?

That house has a ton of potential. Did you see the floors in the kitchen? But Ponca City has come up in the world for $350,000! When we lived in Enid 30 years ago, houses were about $50,000. I know it’s been a few decades, but still!

It’s hard to really appreciate the house. There is so much stuff. I am afraid that it will take those people a year to move because of their stuff.

Looks nice from the outside, but in my opinion, everything about the inside is HIDEOUS!

I’m confused by two of the pictures at the very end. It looks like they took a picture in the kitchen with all the crap removed from the countertops and also of the bar emptied out. If they had cleared stuff out why didn’t they take and include more pictures of the “clean” version? I sure would think it would improve the possibility of a sale...

Well, that interior makes me feel much better about myself. I’ve been feeling like a hoarder since SIP began here. It does appear that most of the original paneling, cabinets & fixtures are there. Love the exterior & gardens.

I believe the decor is saloon/whore house circa 1890. That is all I could imagine. But whyyyyyyyy?
I too want to know what the weird little sink on the floor is; is it a footbath?

First thing I would do is penalize the photographer for taking photos with such low lighting that one cannot tell WTH is going on.
Next, I'd get adequate lighting so that what is in the house can be seen.
Third, I'd rip all those heavy drapes down to let in light.
Then, I'd begin to take stock of just what is in there.
From what I could see, every room has about 5 times as much as should be in one house! Way, way too much clutter of "things, I have my things"
I would also love to have seen a floor plan of this home.

That's a whole bunch of clutter.
It has potential.
What a job it would be to remove all the wallpaper.

Oh my!!! But it would be fun to have your own ice cream parlor in your basement.That looks just like the one we used to visit at the drugstore.

The house is beautiful. The decor is crap.
I would want to keep all the couches and chairs but recover them all in matching fabric.
Everything else, please take it with you.
