- Who doesn't love a little toilet humor? About a month ago I shared a home with what I called the "p**p window."

It was clearly the result of a strange remodel where someone converted an attic into a bathroom and accidentally left a window in a location that allowed the neighborhood to become far more involved in the p**p experience than anyone intended.

It was hilarious.

But today's discovery is even better.

This is brand-new construction.

Nobody has ever lived here.

This wasn't an accident.

This was intentionally designed, drawn, approved, built, and signed off on by multiple professionals.

I call it the "p*e window."

Because any man standing here can comfortably monitor neighborhood activity while conducting personal business.

Need to check on the weather?

No problem.

Waiting for an Amazon delivery?

You're covered.

Want to make eye contact and wave at the neighbors?

Apparently that's an option too.

I have so many questions.

Was this a design feature?

Was this a budget cut?

Was this revenge?

Am I the only one who sees this?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees this.....

- I want your opinion.

These are two photos of the exact same room.

Photo A is furnished.

Photo B is empty.

After 32 years in real estate, I have a strong opinion on this, but today I'm more interested in yours.

When you're scrolling through homes online, which photo makes you want to see the property?

The furnished room?

Or the empty room?

I know what my answer is, and it may surprise some people.

Before I tell you, I'd like to hear from homeowners, buyers, sellers, REALTORS®, lenders, title folks, interior designers, and anyone else with an opinion.

A or B?

And more importantly, tell me why.

- Several months ago, a client called me after touring a home and said: “Kevin… you have got to see this fireplace.”

Now, as a REALTOR®, I’ve seen some things.

I’ve seen mirrored walls.
I’ve seen carpet in bathrooms.
I’ve seen kitchens remodeled by people who were clearly unsupervised.

But I had never seen something like this.

So I pulled up the listing.

And there it was.

A bright yellow fireplace.

Not soft yellow.
Not cheerful yellow.
Not “a tasteful pop of color” yellow.

This thing looked like it had been painted with a school bus. Like a highlighter marker had exploded in the living room.

My client and I laughed about it for days.

Then one afternoon I thought:

Maybe we’re looking at this all wrong.

Maybe the fireplace isn’t meant for adults.

Maybe it’s meant for… a very specific demographic.

So I made a few design adjustments.

And just like that, everything clicked.

The fireplace wasn’t ugly.

The room was simply missing four Teletubbies.

Now the color palette is cohesive.
The design intent is clear.
And somewhere, a preschool television producer is preparing a full-price offer.

I’ve staged hundreds of homes in my career.

This may be my finest work.

- I couldn’t decide which photo to post. Every one of them made me smile, so here we are.

If you’ve never met Tracy, imagine if a ball of sunshine, a dozen puppies, the feeling of driving a $200,000 sports car, and your favorite song all walked into a room at the same time. That’s pretty close.

She has this remarkable gift of making people feel seen, appreciated, and lighter than they did five minutes earlier. Some people bring energy into a room. Tracy brings joy.

And before anybody starts rumors, yes, I know I’m smiling like I just won the lottery. That’s because spending time with people you genuinely love has that effect on you.

Life can be noisy. Business can be stressful. The world can occasionally feel like it’s being operated by a committee of caffeinated squirrels. Then you spend an evening laughing with an dear friend, and suddenly everything feels a little less complicated.

I swear this woman smiles and my icy, black, REALTOR® heart melts just enough to become medically detectable again.

Love you, my friend. Thank you for the laughter, the conversation, and the reminder that some people don’t just brighten a room, they brighten lives.

The older I get, the more I realize that some of life’s greatest luxuries aren’t things at all. They’re the people who make you laugh until your face hurts and somehow leave your soul a little lighter than they found it.

Tonight’s big adventure was taking the boys with me to the pharmacy drive-thru to pick up a prescription. 😂

I’m trying to get them more used to riding around with daddy while I run errands and do everyday life stuff, and honestly… they were incredibly sweet. Well, they were not as insanely chaotic as they could have been.

Of course, everybody at the pharmacy had to come look at them through the window, because apparently them sticking their heads out causes a small public event. LOL.

Then when we pulled back in at home, our neighbor Carlos said, “Oh my God, the boys look so cute, let me take your picture,” snapped this and texted it to me.

I’m proud of these boys. We’re all exhausted now, and the three of us are about to pile onto the sofa and watch a little TV before bed.

Y’all have a good night.

- Last night I made chicken dish, and I need everyone to understand that I am not being dramatic here… this was one of the top three chicken dishes I have ever eaten in my life.

Possibly top two.

Possibly number one.

Possibly I need a private moment alone with this chicken.

I sat there taking bites and doing that thing where you stop chewing and just stare off into space because your brain is trying to process what just happened. Meanwhile the boys (my two dogs) were sitting nearby staring at me like tiny attorneys preparing a legal case for why they deserved half of it.

I’m also pretty sure this may be the best thing that has ever come out of my kitchen, which is saying a lot because I have an ego and a Dutch oven.

Creamy mushrooms, thyme, tender chicken, and one of those sauces where you immediately start looking around for bread, or a spoon, or a straw... because wasting even one drop feels morally wrong.

The recipe is on the blog at KevinDay.co

- Today we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our country and our freedom. Wishing you and your family a meaningful Memorial Day as we remember those whose sacrifice made so much possible.

- After a few days of storms, both in the weather and in life personally and professionally, it feels REALLY good to wake up rested and realize the clouds have finally passed.

Coffee is flowing, the boys had a great walk this morning, and the nervous system has officially rebooted. 😂

I do have to share one of the funniest things I’ve heard in real estate in a while.

I was recently helping a very accomplished doctor relocate her family from Houston to Dallas. We were negotiating on a beautiful high-end, new construction home for lease, and my clients simply asked if the owners would come down a little on the monthly rent. A very small amount.

The listing side came back with:
“If your clients will do a 15-month lease instead of 12, we can give them the last 3 months free.”

Amazing. Fantastic. Incredible.

Except… the monthly rent for the first 12 months was going to increase by roughly 25%, meaning the “free” months were simply being prepaid in advance. 😂

Now listen… I may occasionally be exhausted, over caffeinated, and surrounded by chaos, but I am still one sharp tack.

If it smells like spoiled cheese, looks like spoiled cheese, and tastes like spoiled cheese… don’t stare me in the face and tell me it’s “3 months free.” LMAO.

I wanted to reply "I have professionally reviewed the proposal and unfortunately the proposal appears to be fungus" but I did not, I just said "That's interesting, I think we will continue to look..."

Anyway, the storms has passed, the boys are happy, and we’re off to a fantastic Friday.

Hope you are too.

- I’m sorry, but this pool is absolutely taking me out. 😂

The scale of this thing compared to the backyard is hilarious. This lot looks ready to host a luxury resort, youth soccer camp, and a destination wedding all at the same time… and then right in the middle sits what appears to be a very confident Hot Pocket.

And the AstroTurf surrounding it somehow makes it even funnier. Nothing says “luxury outdoor living” quite like enough artificial grass to host the World Cup wrapped around a pool the size of a valet parking spot.

You’re not swimming in this. You’re marinating.

This isn’t a pool. This is a baptismal with ambition. 😂

- This meatloaf has ended relationships.

I don’t mean to brag, but my meatloaf brings all the boys to the yard.

Grown men have abandoned family recipes after one bite of this thing. I’ve seen people stare out windows quietly reevaluating their childhoods. Somebody’s uncle once took a second helping and whispered, “My mother lied to me.”

At this point, I’m fairly certain the inventor of meatloaf rose from the grave, floated into my kitchen one evening, pointed at the pan, and said, “Yes. This is what I meant.”

Giorgio and Otto are already circling the kitchen like tiny meatloaf security consultants, and honestly there are few things in life better than being home with them on a Sunday afternoon with something ridiculous cooking in the oven.

Crispy edges. Rich glaze. Honey child, this is West Texas luxury.

The photo is from one I made in March 2024, you betcha more photos and the recipe are on the way.
