In my search for inexpensive homes, I came across this one and loved it b/c it's pink. (Actually, it's so bright, I'd call it "pank.") The thing is, that the owner of the 1939 bungalow in Lewisburg, WV liked to do mosaics, but wasn't very good at it, and kinda ruined the 2bd, 1ba, 973 sq ft home. They're asking $189k, but if you're not a fan of the artwork, it would cost way too much to remove. I posted it at least a yr. ago, and it's back on the market b/c it didn't sell. $189k.

We enter a wonderful little sun porch. This would make a delightful plant room. It's large enough to fit a couch and a table for 4, with room to spare.

There's a fireplace in here that the owner redid in mosaics.

Closeup of the pattern. You know, it might look nice painted a solid color. It's just for looks, so I suppose that you could remove &/or replace it if you want to.

Then, we directly enter the living room where you get the first glimpse of the mosaic work. I could probably live with the floor, and the wall appears to have a framed work of art with lights coming out of the wall. Is the ceiling burned above the wood stove?

Closeup of the feature wall. This is great if you like texture.

It appears that they cut one or both of the arches to the kitchen, themselves. I hope it's not a support wall. I don't care for orange, so maybe repainting would help, but then it wouldn't match the floor.

The kitchen is sooo jammed in, I wonder if there's room to reconfigure it. The cabinets are nice. I need an exhaust over the stove and I have never seen a fan with such small blades.

This is very tight. They have a large w/d set in here, too. Funny that they didn't do a mosaic backsplash. The sink is in a homemade stand with a curtain.

There are mosaics here and there. It's just so small and crowded.

There's got to be a way to make it a little more cohesive and put the w/d somewhere else.

I don't know why they took a photo of this, maybe to showcase the floor. I think that by redoing this wall with just one doorway, you could expand the kitchen.

There's a broken mirror on the wall in the hall leading to the primary bedroom. I got confused and thought it was 2 rooms.

It's not bad, but there's just a small closet behind the curtain.

This is the only bath. The sink looks like a DIY glass bowl basin on a pipe. I would remove the tub and put in a shower.

I think that this is considered the 2nd bd. but it's not being used as one. It's used as a sauna.

It probably has the sauna b/c it's currently rented out as an Airbnb.

There's a porch with a pergola in the back.

They delved into some cement sculpture here.

8,276 sq ft lot.

The man on the radio is back once more ... for how long, who knows? Where has he been? Who knows? Does he even know he's been gone? Perhaps he has continued performing his show with the Lost Postman as his trusty aide in some alternate Universe and has no idea of our wonderings as to his waywardness. Weatherwise we have 12 to 15 degrees today, sunshine is MIA, thermal everything is required ... I've even put thermal covers on the deckchairs. The traffic lady may just have mentioned the cold start, the lack of attention paid by motorists and one or two collisions. The chef on the radio flung his virtual frying pans around with unknown ingredients in them.

Today's groaner: A woman texts her husband on a cold winter’s morning, “Windows frozen, won��t open.” Her husband texts back, “Slowly pour some lukewarm water over it and then gently tap the edges with a hammer.” 5 minutes later the woman texts back, “Computer really messed up now.” ;-D badoom tish … here all week!!

Friday the 13th and the spiders are coming in! I have no problem with spiders, regardless of size ... but, according to the man on the radio, others are not so welcoming. I'd call the size of this one a 'Delilah'. There was a 'Goliath' version in the bathroom, but I fear she may have ventured upstairs and become extremely short term friends with Loft Cat.

Not long after this one came in, she ended up floating in the dogs' water bowl. I retrieved her, watched her run up the long curtain by the back door and, in due course, she returned to her original position.

On only one occasion have I decided against a spider setting up camp. That particular one was larger than my hand. Impressive legs that moved finger like across the floor and she eventually came to rest on one of my boots. I picked up said boot and left it outside the front door. I often wonder if that was her full size or whether she grew bigger and bigger and eventually made off with a few of the neighbourhood cats. ;-)

Friday, Friday, Friday ... paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday 13th) is rife in Ireland so there will be many still abed that have no intention of coming out from beneath the duvet. Let's hope they fare better than New Yorker Daz Baxter. On Friday 13th in 1976, he decided to just stay in bed for the day, only to be killed when the floor of his apartment block collapsed under him. Highly likely they will as there's an awful lot of bungalows on the Emerald Isle ...

Mid Century Modern Lunacy

As always, here is the video!!

For today's post we move inside and take a look at the main floor of this amazing abandoned Mid-Century Modern house!!

In this explore, we have a great mid century ranch style home that was built in 1970. From the outside it looked to be in really rough shape with most of the roof missing its tiles, some of the windows had also been removed.

Once inside we see that the house looked much the same as when it was built 50 odd years ago! With vintage wallpaper, a yellow kitchen counter and a very eclectic looking basement…everything you would expect to see in a high end house from the era. The home had lots of wood details, large windows and even a partially enclosed porch area that had been turned into a sunroom.

In the basement there were even some cartoon characters somewhat crudely drawn onto the walls, and the home is rumored to have once been owned by an animator that had worked for Disney and Hanna-Barbera. I was unable to confirm this, however the drawings in the basement did play into the story. The owner died in 2018 and the home has sat abandoned ever since!

This house a was a joy to explore and I am sure that you will like it as much as I did!

In my quest to find affordable homes, I was so happy to find this cute little 1920 bungalow in the lovely town of Magnolia, DE, w/3bds, 1ba, for $249,900. But, then it creeped me the hell out. Let's take a tour and you'll see why.

Cute little front porch opens into a good-sized enclosed porch that could be used as a mud room or a quaint little sun room with some plants.

Then, you enter a nice large living room with a Craftsman style wall and columns separating it from the dining room. Isn't this lovely, so far?

How cute is this? And, Delaware is know for its low taxes.

The sweet little kitchen is completely original. Look at the door.

It has a dishwasher, which is always important to me, and look at the little shelves on the end of the cabinet.

The kitchen's not so little, though- it has room for a washer/dryer tucked out of the way, next to the fridge. Looks like they removed all their overhead light fixtures, and capped them off, though.

Typical 1920s era hallway to the bedrooms have all original doors and moldings. There's a linen closet and a trap door in the ceiling for the attic.

The bedrooms aren't huge, but they're adequate. My cousin grew up in a house like this and it was so cute.

This is a larger room. I don't know what that is on the left.

This may be the primary bedroom. It's a sweet starter home, too.

The bath was nicely redone with appropriate tiles and pedestal sink. The original built-in medicine chest is still intact.

The basement isn't finished, but it has potential and there's a work bench down here. Look, they left the new owner a trophy.

So, then I went up to the attic and they left a set of dining room chairs. Score, i thought.

And, there's also a cedar lined closet for winter clothes. Cool. But then, I saw this-

Holy grandma's ghost, Batman, there's even a remote on the seat. Is that a cable wire on the left? Has anyone seen the Disney movie, "The Electric Grandmother?" A wealthy family had a robot grandma made to order, and she was shipped in a sarcophagus and lowered by helicopter into their yard. Every night she would go down to the basement, sit in her chair, and charge. Chocolate milk shot out of her wrist, too. I got so creeped out when I saw this!

House is on a .29 acre lot and has a large decrepit building in the back, which I hope they save.
