  3. I like the “see the dustbunny under my coffee table” shot. Not sure what’s on the floor there, but it just doesn’t work.

  4. Featured in Better Homes & Garden of how not to do a kitchen. How many different heights are the countertops, I count five if you include the nearby shelf. The stove sticking out an extra 5″ from the counters is pretty bad too.

  5. I think it must be the Courtyard that was featured in BH&G…

    I like the description of the floors:

    “SOME FINISHED HARDWOOD FLOORS”

    401 South Mt Juliet Rd., Suite 240
    Mt. Juliet, TN 37122

    and every listing on their site in indeed in Tennessee!

  7. “Is somebody pulling our leg? The “Exit Realty Group” is:”

    I think that I’ve seen a storefront like that on north Clark, near Gaylord India restaurant. That would be about 600-700N, west side of the street.

  8. They used silly capitalization, like “EXiT”.

  9. They seem to be at 3925 N Ashland Ave – I can’t find an actual webpage for them. The hotlink is pointing to a totally different agency, it appears.

  10. At the Irving Park exit of the northbound Kennedy, where Pulaski and the ramp intersect, there is a storefront with a large sign that says Exit Realty is growing! or something to that effect.

  11. It’s not the photographer’s fault the place is a mess. Whoever redesigned the interior is the one who needs to go back to school… or leave the field of architecture. It looks to me like the photographer was trying to edit out the worst views, and that there is just no way the place is going to look good no matter what you put in it.
