facadomized
5 Comments »
I’ve got another house word into Urban Dictionary:
The state of a house that has been aesthetically mangled during a cheap renovation. Usually involves the loss of much original detail and the use of inappropriately small windows.
“That big blue house on the corner really got facadomized in when they were trying to flip it. That tiny window on the front is probably why it still hasn’t sold.”
Oooh, good word! There’s a bungalow for sale near us that I didn’t even realize was a bungalow until I saw it from the side. The completely removed the front dormer and extended the facade up to two story height. Then they added an open porch with georgian-style pillars. How awful!
HAHA! I so true. god, what were these people thinking? They did okay with the porch detail, but blew it on the windows.
And why is that window glowing? Is that where they keep the crazy relative?
The house was vacant when I took the photo! Probably some weird realtor voodoo going on up there.
That’s a hilarious word!
