Dumpster fire is right!
Very nice conversions. Really like the power station.
I like the fun MCM, but agree on the wallpaper.
Oh… too much… everything. Just throw all the following stuff into the dumpster fire.
As we enter the New Year, it’s comforting to think that some things never change, like bad taste and deadly stairs.
I love the teeny tiny ficlet!
Muppet Show? New Muppet Show? I’m interested…
Part of me thinks I’d like to live in a converted lighthouse, but then I look at the actual lighthouse conversions and change my mind FAST. I love the converted NZ power station, though!
I love the idea of owning a semi-modern Scottish castle, but $10 mil (minimum) in repairs? That’s a bit too steep for my blood.
$2 mil for a house that lovely in Pacifica sounds like a steal. But then looking at the view from the house and the steepness of the driveway, and I feel like a half decent earthquake will send your lovely $2 mil house down the hill and into the ocean.
Oh no. That’s way too much tile, times two.
You could not pay me enough to sleep in a loft with death stairs and a pit.
That final link with the “lack of sturdiness” reminds me of a Monkey Island video game quest where you have to replace broken stair treads with random planks. (And one of them is not sturdy enough, and you fall as a plot point.) I wouldn’t want to trust these stair boards, especially since they have the typical lack of railing.
Happy new year!
