#chapel conversion

[hometoursandotherstuff]

I don't know why, but since I started this blog, the converted Chapel on the Bay, in Palmetto, Florida has been on the market at least 4 or 5 times. And, here it is, for sale again. 2bds, 2ba, $699K. The original owner spend $1.3M to convert it.)

The floating chapel has served as a picturesque wedding venue and also as a short-term rental or Airbnb. The former Chapel is being sold fully furnished. It's ready for the next owner to live in at the marina or operate as a rental.

It's really nice inside and has a vaulted church ceiling.

Note the gothic doors and stained glass windows. I don't care for the black theater recliner seating, they're too bulky and casual for this lovely space.

In the corner of the living area is a nice round glass table.

A spiral staircase in the middle of the space toes up to a loft.

In the corner of the living area is a nice kitchen with granite counters.

Hallway to the primary bedroom and bath.

The downstairs bedroom and bath are good sizes.

The 2nd bedroom is in the loft.

Isn't this nice? It's so cozy.

There's even a sitting area up here.

And, this is the 2nd bath.

It's picturesque at night, but there doesn't seem to be many other homes, just lots of boats.

This is nice, they have fireworks on the water.

The amount of copium T'Pring is ingesting in this scene is unprecedented and deeply sad especially paired with Spock immediately going "Yeah of course, you know me so well babe." Someone SAVE her. You HAVE to understand. He made out with Chapel IN FRONT OF HER and her response is to immediately rationalize both that action and the clear 'passion' she saw in it - then to have sex with him. HELP HER!!!!

Forever mad about how well Strange New Worlds understood the assignment on the musical episode but then how poorly it executed it.

That said APOLOGIES THE MOST CONFOUNDING THING ....

My friends get me lol

[offsidekineticist]

💎💎💎 possibly? If you're still doing them!

Honestly these are so much fun I'll always still be doing them, lol. This one in particular. Also Giliys and Harper took over my brain, so you get two for the price of one.

"Mino." He seems to be staring off into the distance despite there being a wall directly behind you. He suddenly shakes his head, like a dog shaking himself dry. "Sorry, there's...a lot that comes up when she...uh...comes up....and most of it has nothing to do with her. Uh...so first off: she's great. Just...getting that out there. I think she's...well I guess the shortest way of saying it is that she's a good person. That's...not something I ever expected to say about a hellknight. But, uh, she is. Good, I mean. And when she's with Regill -" he cuts himself off. "No. That's - you wanted me to talk about what I think of Mino. Not...yeah.

"Anyway, uh...yeah, she's great. We're bardic hammer buddies. Just...completely devastating to tonedeaf skeletons everywhere. And everyone is a skeleton if you hit them hard enough, so....and it's really fun sort of...coordinating our performances on the fly."

He sighs and hangs his head. "Sorry. That's, uh...that's not very...I just don't want to say something that might make it seem like I don't like her or anything - because I do! I just...." He purses his lips. "It was easier to deal with just being 'a coincidence of birth' to Regill when I thought he didn't have a heart anymore." He takes a deep breath, before plastering a huge grin on his face.

"But Mino! I wish we had met in Brastlewark, back before the library...you know. She's so good with Ember - you can tell she loves kids, and the kids at the library would have loved her. I'd probably have to talk to a few of them about not touching other people's tails or feathers or scales without permission, but personal space and bodily autonomy are important lessons for kids to learn. May as well let them learn it while meeting a nice knight lady."

Meanwhile, in another timeline....

"Regill's wife? She's alright." Giliys shrugs. "I mean, she's bought into that hellknight shit - "

"DAT'S A BAD WORD!" Harper screams from her perch on her father's lap, the fur on her tail puffing up as Giliys flinches. She waves a glass jar in her father's face. "You gotta put a copper in da swear jar now! Dat's da rule!"

Giliys sighs as he reaches into his coin pouch and retrieves a copper piece for the swear jar. "As I was saying, she's bought into the hellknight ideology, probably no saving her at this point - but she means well, so I don't gotta constantly stop myself from reaching for my daggers when we talk."

"PAAAAPAAAA! You're not 'lowed to talk bout daggers in front of da kids! Daddy says so! Dats da rule!"

"Is it, now?" Giliys asks. "How bout I put a copper in the swear jar, then, and we just not mention it to Daddy?" Harper shakes her head.

"Nuh-uh. Swear jar's for swears only."

"That so?"

Harper nods very seriously. "Dat's da rule."

"That's the rule, huh? Well, you know, some rules were made to be broken."

"Dat's stupid."

Giliys sighs. "Yeah, shoulda figured that wouldn't work. Anyway. The sister in law." He shrugs. "I mean, she could definitely do better than Regill, no clue why she settled for that asshole."

"DAT'S A BAD WORD!" Harper shouts.

"You don't gotta shout, Tiger, I'm right here," Giliys says with a wince as he puts another copper in her swear jar. "Inside voice, remember?"

"Oh. Sorry, Papa."

"It's OK, I know you just get excited, just...try to rein it in a little, yeah?"

"Ok."

"Good. Uh...where was I? Right, no idea why she settled for....Regill. Then again I also got no clue why Thay settled for me neither. Maybe good people just have sh - " Giliys freezes, eying the girl on his lap. "Uh, terrible taste in men. There, is that allowed, Tiger?"

"Yeah."

"Alright, how bout you go play?"

"Nuh-uh. I'm s'posed to watch you til the nice person with the questions leaves."

"Are you now?"

Harper nods again, deadly serious. "Cuz Daddy says you can't be trusted alone after last time."

Giliys sighs and mutters under his breath something about "one time" and "being babysat by a four year old" and "didn't even do anything." Having a healthy sense of self-preservation, you choose that moment to take your leave.

The longer I think about the hournite scene is the more I realize how brazenly self-aware Rick’s language is about what effect Beth has on him. He knows she does have the ability to make him listen to her, which is why he’s pushing her away. In essence, that was Rick’s TWISTED way of saying, “Do not dare use my crush on you to take this hourglass away from me.”

perhaps I have the skill now to appropriate that quote from The Exorcist 1971 book to be about gay love for a print

Happy New Year to me from Mila Finelli for posting her Kings of Italy wedding reception bonus scenes. Takeaways: Gia and Enzo remain Iconic and Emma pulling Giulio and Alessio away from the reception to ask for advice on pegging her new husband and being like “it’s not because you’re gay, I’ve just been told you’re really good at giving advice and also I don’t know any other men I can ask” was simultaneously hilarious and very sweet.

Cute 1909 chapel conversion in Audubon, MN has 3bds, 3ba, reduced $45K to $575K.

Interesting, it's gray- floors and walls. I like the pretty ceiling where the altar used to be. Maybe the lights are original.

There's plenty of room in the open floor plan, but it's kind of minimalist right now.

Across from the living room area there's the dining table.

I do like a colorful kitchen and this blue is very attractive, especially with the gold.

I like the backsplash. Doors to a wrap-around deck on both sides.

Blue Shaker cabinets.

It looks like they may have closed in the choir loft.

Oh, this is lovely, it's the small antique chapel organ.

Here's one of the pews and a door to the outside.

Here's a pretty bedroom. I like the blue theme. If they closed the choir loft in, it was to make this bedroom.

This must be the primary bedroom b/c it's quite large.

Beautiful bath. Love the tiles.

Bedroom #2 is plenty big and is on the ground level.

Bedroom #3 is also very nice.

Another large bath.

Large family/rec room.

They have a game table in this area.

The large wrap-around deck.

And, a patio below.

According to the sign, the owners don't live here, they rent it out as Boutique B&B. It doesn't even look used. There are 2.51 acres of land. I'm wondering if they're selling it b/c there's not much to do out here. If they're going to rent it short term, it should at least have a pool. I don't see that they even provide a BBQ or fire pit for guests. There's a golf course, but it may not be public, plus there are lakes, a public beach and restaurants, but that may not be enough to attract lots of guests.

Post-Star Trek 5

Kirk: Christine! How many siblings does Spock have?!

Chapel: Two.

Kirk: ... what.

Chapel: Well, technically one I guess. Why do you ask?

Kirk: WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS?!

Chapel: well, there's no reason you would know unless he kidn-- OHHHHH.

Kirk: ...

Chapel: you okay, man?

Kirk: ...

Chapel: alright, I'm going to make us some tea. sit tight.

SNW Christine has the vibes of someone who pours a glass of wine, hands it to Uhura, then starts drinking from the bottle. SNW Christine says she’s going to have “one glass of Romulan ale” and then pulls out a comedically large glass as a goof. Christine wore white converse with her thrift store dress to space prom. I can see this all clearly. She is this to me:

But as if the undercurrent of righteousness among the townsfolk hadn't been enough, Geraldine thought wryly, they'd had to employ Benedict Eddings to help them convert the chapel.

Beer and Birdsong in Pecket Well

Phil’s early morning shift Spring Bank holiday Monday left the rest of the day free. Three years since our last visit, I suggested a more detailed exploration of Pecket Well. To spare his achy legs, we caught the bus from Hollins Place, skirting St. George’s Square on the way. Blues buskers and a Sunday-style market dominated by purveyors of fast food, emitted a mini-festival vibe. The Bronte Bus…
