We didn't like either of these houses, but you wouldn't either

The first house was just gaudy. The whole house was decorated in either red and white ceramic tile or shag carpeting. The bathrooms were fully decorated in the tile and even the toilets had the tile on its tank and seat. There were individual furniture pieces throughout the house just made out of the tile, not a pillow or blanket to add any kind of cushion. The owner was proud of the house, but she needed to sell because she was getting older and wanted to move closer to her children and grandchildren. We quickly said thanks, but no thanks to that one. She managed to get my brother in law to take one of the chairs with us. Most of us wanted to take it straight to the dump, but we were pretty sure it'd end up a feature of our new house. The second house we looked at was better. There were lots of comfortable surfaces and lots of unique furnishings too. There were tables that looked as if they were made out of distressed wood but the owner had just painted it that way. All of us really liked this place at first, but the further we walked into it, the worse it got. The hallways were narrow, and some of the doorways were too short. There was a bedroom right off from the kitchen where a couple of the owners tenants slept. They were non-negotiable, if we bought the house they'd be renting from us. A few of us thought that wouldn't be so bad, but then we met the people. They were messy, loud and unashamed. After awhile even the owner sensed our hesitance and decided to just kick us out. Guess we weren't going to decide on a house today. --- Then I woke up, but not before lots of other weirder stuff happened that I might talk about in another post.
