I Approve Of The Sass. “On A Huge Block Of Land Surrounded By A Housing Development Lives A Defiant Sydney Family Who Refused To Give Up Their Beloved Property"
"The two-hectare stretch of land at The Ponds sticks out like a sore thumb after rows of hundreds of houses sitting side-by-side sprang up around the block in recent years"

I would have planted trees around the perimeter so they can’t all look in to the house, and gives them something nicer to look at!

No Way. I’d Fall
To find out more about the “What The Crazy House” project, Bored Panda reached out to the creator behind it, Robyn from Ohio. “I’m married with 2 kids and I work part time at a shoe store,” she told us. Robyn said that she has always loved to look at houses. Once, she saw a space bedroom which became her first post. “It was unbelievably wild and I thought that I see weird stuff in the houses I look at all the time.”
That’s how she came up with an idea to put them all in one place and start the page. “On a whim one day, I made Whatthecrazyhouse. I don’t even think I remember how I came up with the name! It was just a split moment decision,” the creator said and added that she started “What The House” back in February, 2019 but she really didn’t get a following until this past year.

When asked how she’d describe her audience, Robyn said that they’re like her: “fun and snarky.” She added: “I’m proud to say they are nice and funny. I’ve never had a fight break out. Everyone is just here to laugh and make fun of stuff in a lighthearted manner.” Robyn really loves this page and she is super proud to run it. “It’s all for fun!,” she said.

The creator said that she “hates '80s decor so she posts some of that.” “I am constantly seeing things I’ve never thought possible and that shock me. And then I think that someone did this… on purpose?! What?!!” she wondered.
We also asked Robyn what was the craziest house she has ever seen, and she said that “it’s a tie between the murder house and the cat poster house where cat pictures were EVERYWHERE. I mean it: they were all over the bathroom and kitchen and walls and ceiling. Just cats.”

I Just Imagine It Yelling “Fire”
When asked what could be the motives for why people design and build such crazy houses, Robyn said that this is how they express themselves or that they’re simply weird. “We are all a little weird, but sometimes things just go wacky and we get the wild things I post.”

A large black cauldron, with a brew bubbling in it, being stirred by the Three Weird Sisters from MacBeth, would give the look some polish. Don’t you think?

Mega kitty litter. All I see is kitty litter—thanks to my cats, Donut and Severus Snape ( I actually named the poor thing that…)

Gross. If that's actually sand then that place is bound to be gross. Aside from the obvious issues with pets, there's a bar there. This isn't clumping cat litter and anything they spill on that is going to go straight through the sand and collect on whatever the substrate is. Not to mention, food crumbs, hair, dust, and the occasional dead/live bugs!

I'm pretty sure they keep it well maintained and don't make messes like that. It's very cool and suits this person just fine I'm sure.

It also reminds me of an episode of Trading Spaces - Hildy actually did this to a room in someone's house! The owners were NOT happy at the reveal.

I was like I hope this isnt real sand and I realized it would be awful even if it was solid floor. Maybe if you went over it all with resin until it was all flat idk

I like the concept but I'd have gone with astroturf rather than actual sand.

Aside from some of the color schemes, it’s not half bad. Outside is really nice, though I’d go with pale blue or pale yellow instead of mint green.

I've seen the reverse of this too - where there is the air vent cover like this with just a hole through the wall behind it to another room (not leading to any ductwork).

You are 100% incorrect. ZGW steals them from me. Also they don't post individual pictures- only full listings.
