40 People Who Should Have Double Checked Their Layout Plans

What would your dream home look like? Would it have tall ceilings, winding staircases, and a huge kitchen filled with shiny new appliances? Or do you prefer a more classic design, like a cottage or cabin? Whichever you choose, chances are this list's layouts are far from your ideal home design. From the painfully-dated to the straight-up painful, these home designs will have you wondering how they even got made in the first place.

Everything about this feels wrong, and not just the gross color and textured cabinets. Why do the cabinet handles have to be bejeweled?!

We miss the wholesome, old-fashioned family dinners from yesteryear. Kids these days will never know how nice it was to sit down to a home-cooked meal around the ol' station wagon. Remember how dad would always honk the horn whenever someone asked him to pass the peas? Good times!
