“Converted” Dr.’s office for sale in Berlin Heights, Ohio for $315K. You get ample parking, plus a handicap space. I don’t know if someone did a bad conversion, or if they tried to stage it to look like a home, but it’s listed as a single family residence, not an office. Look at this:
The first thing we see is a glass foyer, hydraulic self-closing doors, lighted exit sign, drop ceiling w/neon lights throughout and an indoor/outdoor carpet.
The waiting room, complete w/a large reception window, is staged as a combination living/dining room. Notice the brochures fanned out on the coffee table, Dr.’s office style.
The property lists 5 bds. This is the main bd., looking completely idiotic.
Each bd. is equipped with cabinets, a sink, subtly checkered linoleum and a writing table.
The office, of course, would make a roomy home office or home schooling space.
Next to the office is a workroom/lab with 2 sinks. Maybe this could be a craft space.
This is staged as the kitchen, but there is no damned kitchen. It was the staff break room. All you have in here is a sink.
It lists 2 baths, but there are no bathing facilities, just 2 restrooms. Ooh, look- a folding diaper changing table.
The realty has included one of these handy confusing 3D layouts of the “home.”
This one’s a little clearer- you can see the bds. 2 bathrooms, etc. It would take a lot of reno to turn this into a house.
The only redeeming quality is that it has a geo-thermal heating system- these are great and cost between $18,000 – $30,000 to install in a single family home. (Is that a weather balloon floating above?)
it could be doable #but i would have so many anxiety attacks #if i tried to even visit somebody living in there
Change the paint on the walls, and the flooring? Oh, and the lighting of course. Also, if any of those walls are only there for privacy, and not load-bearing, take them out, or open them up with a wide archway door, so getting from room to room is less of a maze run through narrow corridors.
All (but one?) of those individual room have plumbing, including the “Master bedroom” – wonder if any could be converted into a wheelchair accessible roll-in shower.
Mostly, I’m wondering why someone was in a rush to convert a doctor’s office into a home. Did the town zoning change, and they couldn’t resell it as an office?
(I think I spy a microwave in the break room)
I’m kind of torn, because yeah, this is so Very A Doctor’s Office, and not a A House–
–but sinks in every bedroom is very much “I never realised I wanted this, but I want it. ”
If you turned the staff kitchen into an actual kitchen and added some showers, this seems like it could become a nice little “deliberately a group house” house?

red can mean whatever the heck you want it to mean, that is never going to change that this straight up looks like they DRAGGED A BLOODY BODY ACROSS THE FUCKING FLOOR 😂
Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative like the @mintymaiden said. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death just like the chart shows you but If you want, here’s a link for you to check it out yourself. Also, check out “The Designer’s Dictionary of Color” by Sean Adams. Have fun learning something
I like that the presumption here is that “No One On Tumblr Has Heard of Color Theory, Let Me Explain in Depth” rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to “this is a hospital and that looks like blood”
like, color theory doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Blood Red Paint is asymmetric splatters and sploches against the wall, or in this case, a snail trail on the hallway’s floor, an infographic won’t override the viewers’ instinct.

Update: because of this post, I successfully remembered to renew my Ontario health card.
This was…not its intended purpose, but also not *not* its intended purpose.

POINT: Medical dictation is the worst idea. It’s like somebody said “You know this thing that needs to be written down? How about we make it literally impossible to get it into the records by writing it down directly, and force you to do it in the form of a phone call to another person, who then writes it down for you? Why? Because f@#k people who don’t like phones, that’s why. Also, we’ll spend the next few decades telling you that you’re doing your phone calls wrong and you need to speak more clearly.”
COUNTER-POINT: In order to encourage clear and effective dictations, and apparently without any irony or self-awareness, my hospital has something called the Best Dictator Award. The doctor who does the best dictations each month gets a little plaque that says “BEST DICTATOR”. I have never in my life wanted anything as much as I want a “BEST DICTATOR” plaque for my office, and I will keep doing dictations with a smile on my face until I get one.
