An ex-Boeing engineer collects anything and everything at his home in Seattle. His walls are packed with taxidermy (real and fake), toasters, electronics, vintage prints and paintings, plus all sorts of bizarre and spooky stuff. Check out a few of our favorites after the jump!
These photos are courtesy of Flickr member joeltelling, who was able to tour the home back in 2004 (or so says Flickr). Can anyone in Seattle verify if this house is still around? We're pretty sure a home like this had to of made some splash among the locals, even if it's just at Halloween!
Check out the full Flickr set which has a ridiculous amount of photos detailing all sorts of weird accumulations (including dust).
Thanks joeltelling!

I believe this is a disease called Hoarding.

The bathroom photo is by far the most disturbing...way to many nooks and crannies for pee and dirt to collect.

Working for Boeing can have that effect on you.

Anyone who would drive a tiger-striped Saab is in need of some serious intervention...

This is disgusting. I felt uncomfortable just looking at the pictures.
That bathroom made me gag, it looks like they've been layering carpet over dirt over carpet for years. GROSS.

I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry at that bathroom photo. Whoever lives here needs the AT home cure pronto!

DAMN! You kids are harsh! So much for individuality.
Sing it, Malvina Reynolds:
"Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of tickytacky,
Little boxes all the same..."

this is a form of hoarding but it's an interesting form, it's not piled away carelessly, it's "neatly" arranged and displayed. the house isn't filled so it's totally uninhabbitable and there is a definite theme, i wonder what type of hoarding this would be considered

I know I've seen that car around town before... I almost want to say I've seen it parked in West Seattle.

San Francisco has it's own share of crazy house. If you haven't already, checkout the Greg Angelo Museum at http://http://www.gregangelo.com/dusk.htm

This is a photo finish to the fine line of crazy.

The entire office is nothing short of a fire hazard, with the enclosed electronics. If a fire did happen, all of the oil paintings in the staircase (presumably, the safest exit from the upper floor) would burn quickly and brightly.
I would be too paranoid to even set foot in that home, let alone live in it.

I like the idea of eccentric decor, but what's with all the evil?

Someday, when I'm finally mowed down by a NYC bus or taxi, someone will, of course, have to clear out my apartment.
Upon opening my door I want their first thoughts to be...."Oh thank god......he wasn't a collector... they'll be time for lunch and drinks!"
