The rustic style has a timeless appeal that resonates with many homeowners. A drop-in copper tub effortlessly complements the rustic aesthetic, adding a touch of old-world charm to your bathroom. Whether your bathroom is designed with exposed brick, reclaimed wood, or vintage fixtures, a handmade copper tub can tie the entire theme together, creating a cohesive and inviting space. While the initial investment in a drop-in copper tub may be higher than other bathtub options, the long-term benefits are worth it. Copper is a durable and corrosion-resistant material, making it an ideal choice for a fixture that comes into regular contact with water. Proper care and maintenance are minimal, and with time, the tub develops a unique patina, adding to its charm. In the realm of bathroom design, a drop-in copper tub stands out as a symbol of craftsmanship, luxury, and timeless beauty. Whether you’re looking to transform your bathroom into a rustic haven or seeking a unique, custom-made centerpiece, a handmade copper tub is a worthy investment.

New York Pool Hot Tub

[hometoursandotherstuff]

This is an amazing Zen estate. The architectural features are superb. Built in 2002 in Santa Fe, NM, the 6bd, 8ba estate is priced at $2.595M.

Isn't the entrance hall amazing? It's like entering a Buddhist temple.

Intricately carved wood, niches, and a tile fireplace with built-in sofas to match.

The sculptural architecture is magnificent.

Step down into a large living room. The entrance has carved molding and the ceiling beams fan out like an umbrella.

You'll notice lots of skylights in the ceilings. I would think that the white candle tables are sculpted up from the floor.

Enter this very serene space.

I like these umbrella ceilings. This is a lovely dining room with a corner Pueblo style fireplace.

I like how the ceiling crisscrosses. The rooms are so sculptural throughout the home.

Another scalloped and beamed ceiling, carved wood columns and a carved fireplace.

Beautiful dining area for the kitchen has high open ceilings.

The kitchen is lovely. Almost every room has a rounded wall or two, and the kitchen is no exception. I like the brick wall, light Shaker cabinets and hammered copper farm sink.

There are so many tables and chairs. I love the turquoise tile, and at first I thought it was a water feature, but I'm not sure what it is.

The primary bd. is spacious, has a raised platform bed, and a fabulous built-in canopy. A door opens to a patio and a lighted art niche is in wall next to the desk.

This bath has double blue glass sinks and a stone floor that comes up to surround the tub.

The stairs are beautiful with the carved rail, niches, and interesting light fixtures.

This bedroom is lovely. It has so many built-ins the scalloped ceiling and doors to a patio. It's like a 2-room suite.

Go down the stairs to a sitting area that looks like a play area for toddlers, with the safety gates. But, notice the ceiling fan- isn't that cool?

The baths are all very Zen. This one has a stone tub surround.

Here's a nice corner home office with spiral stairs to a loft.

The grounds are absolutely stunning. Here's a fountain and a vine growing over a wood structure, plus a garden of sculptural rocks.

There's a covered patio and larger patio under a pergola.

And, off to the side there's a koi pond.

A path to stroll passes by a beautiful water feature.

This is a custom-built 2bd, 3ba guest house.

The desert estate is 13.74 acres.

Fairytale AU + Hair Brushing/Braiding

Ah, Elrond/Erestor...and a dash of fairytale vibes! Always a winning combo lol

Sorry for dragging all my blorbos into this LOOOOL

Prompts: Fairytale AU + Hair Brushing/Braiding

Pairing: Elrond x Erestor

Requester: @maglor-my-beloved

Words: 1 130

Warnings: Injury, trauma, doom, nudity, bath scene, Fëanorian Erestor

Once upon a time, in a faraway land that was yet free of the strife of this present day, two young souls sat by a peaceful river’s shore, braiding each other’s hair in a gesture of unmarred affection.

“I shall cherish your design forevermore,” Finwë, future patriarch of a fated line, whispered, and Elwë smiled knowingly.

Soon, though, they were torn apart by destiny.

Many cycles of silver and golden light later, Finwë found himself brushing the hair of his firstborn son—his heir, his cherished boy—and, inspired by the love he had lost, he wove an intricate, intimate pattern into that living silk.

Thus, a hallowed tradition was born on either side of the great divide. For generations, fathers would braid parts of their identity and their most unspeakable well-wishes into the hair of their progeny.

Often hidden but never undone, those tresses spoke of legacies and enduring faithfulness—they spanned ages, becoming ever more complex, and retold the story of a people ever on the brink of desolation.

So it was that, with heavy hearts and three skeletal hands, two notorious kinslayers thusly marked the blessed sons they’d stolen from their intended purpose.

It was with surprise and life-altering emotion that a stubborn, golden-haired princess and her dignified spouse discovered that, despite and beyond their differences, they shared this precious custom. Together, they created a new design for their daughter, interweaving strands that had been set apart by time and providence.

It was with tears in his eyes that a taciturn, irascible hermit looked upon the simple plait a ferocious mortal had put in their sleeping son’s hair.

“So he’ll never forget where he comes from,” Haleth whispered, kissing a burning cheek. “So he might find his people when both of us are gone.”

The one she loved so desperately without being able to save him frowned.

“One day,” she promised, “he’ll be able to trace back these strands of hair to the root of all love. The braid shall lead him home!”

Once upon another time, a valiant leader stood alone in the face of overwhelming evil. He was beaten down mercilessly, and—just as he had accepted that he’d never leave the battlefield alive—a warm hand settled on his hip.

“The day is lost,” a scratchy, breathless voice mumbled. “Come away now and live to fight another day.”

Too weak and injured to protest, Elrond Half-Elven let himself be carried away by Erestor who was stronger, faster, and much more cunning than he looked at first glance.

“I shall bathe you,” Erestor declared as soon as they had reached the camp, “and tend to your wounds.”

When Elrond tried to decline, overcome with a sudden sense of shame and panic, a resolute but tender finger was pressed against his lips like the prelude to a kiss the other didn’t yet feel comfortable dispensing.

“Hush! Your secrets are safe with me!”

Mollified and subdued by the severity of his injuries, the fearless lord mellowed into the caring embrace of his saviour who bore him to a small tent where a copper tub was already waiting to be used.

Servants brought in hot water and clean towels, and Elrond melted into a semi-conscious state of bliss, listening to the soft murmuring of the blurry shapes fading in and out of focus.

It had been many long years since he had last allowed another to gently peel muddied, blood-soaked fabric from his clammy skin, and the very recollection of those hands—drenched in crime and regret—made him sit up with a jolt.

“You must not…” he whispered hoarsely, but already, he could feel nimble fingers comb through the tangled strands of his sweat-matted hair. “I—”

Erestor’s affectionate ministrations slowed to a crawl as he found what his friend had so desperately tried to keep from him—in the face of such stark, unequivocal reluctance, he felt strangely shy and unwilling to cast his eyes down to look upon the discreet braid, burning like a string of hot metal against his palm.

Even though his mind shied away from an identity he had always suspected but never dared confirm, the sensitive tips of his long, sinuous digits deciphered unerringly what his heart might always have known.

“I recognise parts of this design,” he murmured pensively. A wave of heartsick longing threatened to drown him from the inside as he remembered his mother, brushing his hair and sharing all she had been able to learn about his father’s family with him.

Erestor also remembered his father—stern, often distant as if afraid that his mere touch could harm his child, and yet so discreetly and steadfastly loving—and he couldn’t help but wonder what had become of him.

“He thought I was too young to know,” he whispered as if to himself.

“Who? What do you mean?” Elrond articulated painstakingly. The soothing warmth of the herb-infused bath had washed away the last vestiges of his stubborn ferocity, and he felt worn out and dizzy.

With a soft, rueful chuckle, Erestor lifted the obscuring curtain of his dense, dark hair to reveal a gorgeously elaborate tress of his own.

“It is far from being as ornate as yours,” he conceded sheepishly. “Alas, I have fewer legacies to represent and keep alive, but…you are not alone.”

If he had thought that every layer of protection—armour, clothing, and the dignity of his station—had already been stripped from him and that he had nothing left to lose, Elrond now discovered that he had been sorely mistaken.

A weight he had not been fully aware of carrying fell from his soul, and—finally unburdened—his very heart seemed to draw breath for the first time in centuries.

“They have claimed you wholly then,” Erestor said, his voice becoming unsteady as he was shaken to the core by this revelation. At last, he allowed himself to look down and read the labyrinthine story of his dear love’s life, woven in glossy strands that felt more akin to a soothing river on a hot day than to the burning sun itself now.

“How do you know?” Elrond asked, too overcome to play coy.

“My father would only share so much, but—needled and encouraged by my mother’s faith—I have spent a lot of time seeking answers and documenting as much as I could about those lost to horrifying history.”

Spell-bound and stunned into startled silence, Elrond could merely stare at him.

“I shall not undo it,” Erestor promised as he took up his cherished task of carefully washing the abused, battered flesh once more. “Once we get you out of here and into a warm bed, I shall tell you about my findings. Welcome home, little star. You’re much loved still.”

@fellowshipofthefics Here's another one!

Lots of love from me!

A possible first chapter for a Fantasy AU, what do you think?

Chapter 1:

The fire was hot against Cinder’s face as she held the short blade inside of it. She pulled it out and placed it on the anvil, beating it into shape. It would be a small lady’s dagger when she was done with it, almost entirely ornamental. She plunged the metal in a tub of water to cool it when it was shaped to her liking. 

The square was, allegedly, the biggest in all of the Kingdom of the Commonwealth, full of shops and bakeries catering to the nobility and peasants alike. Cinder’s Smith was in between a shop that sells wards against witches, which Cinder knows are not even enchanted against anything, and a travel supply store. Both shopkeepers claim the smell of iron and fire loses them customers, but Cinder knew the smell of the Bakery across the square was more than enough to disuse the smell. They really just don’t like their shops being next to her’s. She didn’t blame them, she was cursed. The markings swirled up from the fingers of her left hand to her wrist and up her left leg to her mid- thigh. The other shopkeepers fear that it will rub off on them from her proximity. 

As Cinder dried the blade she heard the sound of children playing outside:

Ring around the rosy

a pocket full of posey

Ashes, ashes

We all fall down!

The children fall to the ground laughing as if their nursery rhyme is not about the deadly disease that is sweeping across the kingdom. One of the children, the son of the Baker, is called over by his mother. The woman pulls him in, checking his hands for any sign of a curse. 

“It’s not like curses are contagious,” Cinder muttered to her empty smith. They weren't, with no witch to spread it at least.

Her curse is not the worst she had heard of by any means, some are cursed to feel constant pain when they walk, slowly turn to wood, or have eternally bad luck. Her curse was never finished, her curse was meant to kill her, but it never spread to her heart before she was rescued. Cinder now was left unable to cry, unable to change temperature, and sometimes she just knew things, like the dead were whispering in her ear. It was like she had dipped her foot, well a leg and a hand, into the world of the dead, she was just a little dead. Adri would say she’s dead inside too. It was rare to see the cursed outside of the border towns, witches rarely came far enough out of Luna to attack the capital. That’s where her stepfather had adopted her from, nobody knew who her parents were or where she came from after she had lost her memories falling from a tree when she was 11, and nobody wanted to take in a cursed child, thinking her parents had abandoned her. Except Garren Lihn, a witch hunter that was in the area at the time. 

Cinder tied her hair back with a leather cord and reached down to grab a fallen tool under her counter.

Thud.

Cinder jerked up, smacking her head on the edge of the counter. Pulling herself up, she scowled at the battered sword now sitting on the counter, then up at the boy who set it there. Copper eyes were smiling at her apologetically, “Sorry, I didn’t realize there was anyone back there.”

As he reached up to scratch the back of his neck awkwardly, Cinder realized who she was looking at. The illustrations she had seen of him in town failed to capture how enchanting his eyes were, but his hair that hung just passed his ears and striking smile could only belong to one person, hidden under a gray cotton cloak.

“Your Highness,” She stammered, bowing. She subtly checked to make sure her gloves were on right. 

Prince Kaito flinched and looked around before hunching toward her, “Maybe,” he pressed a finger over his lips in a shushing motion, “On the Highness stuff.”

Wide-eyes, Cinder forced a shaky nod, “Of course. How can I um….” The words stick like paste to her tongue.

“I’m looking for the blacksmith, Cinder Lihn,” The Prince glances around her smith, “Is he around.”

Slightly offended, she crosses her arms, “I’m Cinder Lihn, the blacksmith.”

“Your Cinder Lihn?” 

“Were you wanting to replace the blade on your sword?” She was avoiding eye contact by staring straight at his chest. 

The prince bent down. Craning his neck so she had no choice but to meet his eyes, and shot her a grin, she screems inside. 

He straightens, her gaze following him, “Your not what I was expecting, I was expecting, I wasn’t expecting-.”

“A girl?” Her gaze is accusatory, she gets it a lot. Women are seamstresses or bakers, not blacksmiths.

“I was expecting an old man, they say you’re the best blacksmith in the capital, one would think it takes a long time to garner that kind of skill,” he leans one hand on her table, shifting forward, inspecting her, “I was actually hoping to get the blade replaced on this though.”

“Any enchantments?” She gingerly picks up the sword, inspecting the damaged metal.

“Just on the hilt, amplifies the voice of the user, when they say the activation word.”

“To carry commands in battle?” Cinder guessed examining the ornate hilt.

Kaito nods, “It’s mostly ornamental now, I was hoping to bring it to the ball.”

“You need it by the ball?” The ball was less than two weeks away and she had a long line of clients, she had been telling clients it was at least a three week wait all day.

“I know you probably have longer waitlists than that, but I was maybe hoping for some royal treatment,” He smiles hopefully at her.

“I’ll see what I can do,” Cinder says.

Suddenly a small child with deep brown skin and dark braided hair comes dashing around the corner to the Smith, “Cinder! I was able to get the shopkeeper down to just 6 copper pieces!” 

The child, Iko, is holding up a pair of lightweight cotton gloves. Iko, like Cinder, had been cursed. She had been cursed to remain in the body of a child as long as she shall live. She was a servant for the Lihn family in exchange for food and shelter. She was older than Cinder by five, maybe six years.

“Thank you Iko,” Cinder pulls open the small wooden door, letting her in.

“Should I get started on polishing Lord Nguyen’s knives?” Iko asks Cinder.

“Not right now, pay your respects to our customer,” Cinder flourishes a hand toward Prince Kaito, “His Royal Highness.”

“Prince Kai!” Iko beams at him, “My stars, you're even more handsome in person!” 

“That’s enough Iko,” Cinder tells her, mildly-embarrassed.

“Do you need payment up front?” The prince begins to reach for a bag on his belt.

“I take payment after completion,” Cinder runs her hands down the front of her skirt, smearing soot over the apron she’s wearing.

“Perfect! Sent a letter to the castle, or bring it to the palace, or will you be here next weekend?”

“We’re here all market days, your highness,” Iko pipes up next to Cinder.

“I can stop by then?” He asks.

“You don’t need to-“ Cinder flinches.

“It will be my pleasure,” The prince pulls the hood of his cloak, which must be miserable on such a hot day, up over his head before he turns and leaves.

[hopefulstarfire]

Have another jewelry psa for you that's kind of an all encompassing, here's everything post from someone that works in coding at a repair depot.

Please don't wear your jewelry into pools, hot tubs, the ocean, etc. The chemicals are bad for your jewelry and can really tarnish silver! If it's a base metal (not gold or silver or brass or even tungsten or stainless steel; i.e., copper), it can not be cleaned and polished or even repaired, so please be careful with it! Oh and especially jewelry with opals in it please be careful getting those wet!

Don't shop at JCPenney.

Stainless Steel is something that's harder to work on and only some jewelry repair depots can do anything with it. This is because of the high melting point and also trying to match the finish on it.

For the love of God don't get tungsten. You cannot size tungsten or repair tungsten at all and it can be very brittle. I had one come in completely shattered and the ticket said it was hit by a basketball.

Don't shop at JCPenney.

I personally don't think hollow jewelry is worth it at all. Specifically earrings. You cannot undent those or do much repairs with them cause yeah they'll just break they're an automatic buyout for us.

For my depot, repairs can take upwards of five weeks, depending on the type of repair. Sizing? Little easier, takes a couple weeks, depending on how much we're Sizing it up or down (if we're taking it from a 7 to 13, it'll take just a little longer to make sure everything's secure). If we have to reshank (this happens when the band of the ring is too thin, meaning it's measuring under .70mm or it's yknow missing the entire bottom half), or replace missing stones (and match it by the color, clarity and size), or anything that's a true repair, it does take a little bit longer and typically is within those 5 weeks unless it's something super heavy and crazy. Custom pieces, where you ask the jewelry to make you a completely new piece, can take at least a month!

Don't shop at JCPenney

Cubic zirconia rings are cheaper than diamonds and I guarantee you they're much prettier go for those.

If your piece of jewelry is causing itchy and red skin, namely if it's white gold or silver, there's a solid chance you have a nickel allergy. Let that be known when you go to send it off and they can plate it differently. It'll still keep that same color but that way it won't cause an allergic reaction.

You can tell what your jewelrys metal type is by looking at the stamp on it! Some examples;

925 - Silver. However, 925 + 1/20 is platinaire and yes it'd confusing because I swear to God, when the stamp starts to wear off, it only ever wears off the + 1/20 and not the 925.

Typically, when it comes to gold, it'll say 10k or 14k (those are the most common I've seen in the U.S., though once in a while I'll see 18k, and I've had one 20k and one 9k). However, and especially on chains, I'll see the 585 for 14k, for example.

SR BR means silver over brass, and just BR is brass. Though sometimes it'll be silver over brass and it'll just say BR.

Don't shop at JCPenney.

You can tell if pearls are real by rubbing them on your teeth. I found this out after I saw our stores owner doing that. Yes it's weird. Real pearls feel rough and gritty, fake ones feel smooth.

Pearls are also a bitch bc if the clasp breaks or anything you have to resting them. Or if they're on a ring or earring and come off, you have to reglue them onto the little spike rather than resetting them and tipping the prongs around them. It's weird as hell to me.

I recommend being careful if you see earrings that have a snap setting. On the sides, they remind me of like tulip seems for some reason and the prongs they have set very flimsily over the earrings and curl over them versus your standard prong that rests against the sides of the stone. They are super fucking frail and will break if you do anything to them repair wise and don't offer really any security for your stones. Below is an example picture but I hope my descriptions pretty apt

DON'T SHOP AT JCPENNEY!!!!!

I have found you can find better sales in department stores than you can on their online site. My ring was marked at 200 but my man's got it for 87 bucks and I've never been more proud.

JCPENNEY JEWELRY IS CHEAP AND IT SUCKS AND THE PROTECTION PLANS ARENT WORTH IT IF YOU'RE NOT SPENDING HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON SOMETHING JUST DON'T BOTHER THEY ARE THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE.

If anyone wants to know more jewelry tips please feel free to ask! Or if you have some, add onto this.

Maximizing Small Bathroom Spaces with Freestanding Bathtubs

When it comes to bathroom design, small spaces often present a unique set of challenges. Many homeowners feel restricted in their options, especially when it comes to adding luxurious features like bathtubs. However, freestanding bathtubs have become a popular choice for those looking to maximize both space and style in compact bathrooms. With their versatility, elegance, and wide range of sizes, freestanding tubs can transform even the smallest of bathrooms into a personal oasis. This guide will explore how to maximize small bathroom spaces with freestanding bathtubs and discuss the best freestanding bathtubs to consider for your home.

Understanding Freestanding Bathtubs

Unlike built-in tubs that require a surrounding deck or enclosure, freestanding bathtubs stand independently and are finished on all sides. This makes them an excellent choice for bathrooms where space is at a premium. Freestanding tubs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, making it easier to find one that fits both your aesthetic and spatial needs. From sleek modern designs to classic clawfoot styles, freestanding bathtubs offer a level of versatility that built-in tubs simply can’t match.

The Benefits of Freestanding Bathtubs in Small Bathrooms

1. Space Efficiency

Freestanding bathtubs are often seen as a luxury item, but they can actually be an efficient use of space in small bathrooms. Because they don't require built-in surrounds or enclosures, they can be placed strategically in your bathroom to maximize floor space. This flexibility allows you to create a focal point without overwhelming the room.

For example, a compact oval or slipper-style tub can fit neatly in a corner or alcove, leaving the rest of the space open for storage or a vanity. Some freestanding tubs are as short as 48 inches, making them ideal for small bathrooms where a full-size tub might not be practical.

2. Visual Appeal

One of the primary reasons homeowners opt for freestanding bathtubs is their undeniable visual appeal. These tubs can serve as the centerpiece of your bathroom, creating an illusion of more space by drawing attention to the middle of the room rather than the edges. Their sculptural quality adds a touch of elegance and luxury, making even the smallest bathroom feel like a high-end spa.

Moreover, freestanding tubs often elevate the design of a small bathroom, making it appear more open and airy. The space underneath the tub also contributes to the illusion of a larger room, especially if you choose a tub with raised legs or a pedestal base.

3. Customization and Flexibility

Freestanding bathtubs offer endless possibilities for customization. Whether you prefer a minimalist modern tub, a vintage clawfoot design, or something entirely unique, there’s a freestanding tub to suit your style. You can also choose from various materials such as acrylic, cast iron, copper, or stone, allowing you to select a tub that complements your overall bathroom design.

In small bathrooms, flexibility is key. Freestanding bathtubs can be positioned anywhere, providing more freedom in designing the layout. You can place the tub under a window for a scenic view, in the center of the room for a bold statement, or against a wall to save space.

Tips for Maximizing Space with a Freestanding Tub

1. Choose the Right Size

When selecting a freestanding bathtub for a small bathroom, size is crucial. While it’s tempting to go for a large, luxurious tub, it’s important to choose one that won’t overwhelm the space. Look for compact models that are designed for small spaces, such as those under 60 inches in length. Oval and round tubs tend to take up less space than rectangular ones, making them a smart choice for smaller bathrooms.

2. Consider Placement

Strategic placement is essential when installing a freestanding bathtub in a small bathroom. Avoid placing the tub in the middle of the room if you have limited floor space. Instead, opt for a corner or side placement to free up the center of the room. This will create a more open feel and allow for easier movement around the bathroom.

If possible, position the tub near a window or light source to enhance the sense of openness. Natural light reflects off the tub’s surface, brightening the space and making it feel larger.

3. Maximize Storage

In small bathrooms, every inch counts. Freestanding bathtubs don’t come with built-in storage like alcove tubs, so it’s important to plan for alternative storage solutions. Consider installing wall-mounted shelves, corner units, or a small cabinet near the tub to store towels, toiletries, and bath essentials. You can also use decorative baskets or trays around the tub to keep your bathroom organized without compromising on style.

The Best Freestanding Bathtubs for Small Bathrooms

When it comes to choosing the best freestanding bathtubs for small bathrooms, there are several factors to consider, including size, material, and design. Here are a few top options:

1. Woodbridge 59-Inch Acrylic Freestanding Bathtub

This compact and modern tub is perfect for small bathrooms. Measuring 59 inches, it offers plenty of soaking space without taking up too much room. The high-gloss white acrylic finish is durable, easy to clean, and complements any bathroom decor.

2. Signature Hardware 48-Inch Clawfoot Tub

This cast iron tub features classic clawfoot legs and a rolled rim, making it a timeless addition to any small bathroom. Its compact size allows it to fit in smaller spaces, while still providing a deep, comfortable soak.

3. Vanity Art 54-inch Freestanding Tub

The Vanity Art 54-inch freestanding bathtub is designed with small spaces in mind. Its simple, elegant shape and compact size make it a popular choice for homeowners looking to maximize space. The tub is made from high-quality acrylic, which is lightweight and easy to install, yet durable enough for everyday use.

By choosing the best freestanding bathtubs for your space, you can create a functional and stylish bathroom that feels open and inviting. Whether you prefer a sleek modern design or a more traditional clawfoot tub, there are plenty of options available to suit your personal style and space requirements.

Alastor took some time in the bath - longer than Michael did, certainly. He did not often shower as he did not have one in his custom bathroom, much more used to the copper tub in which he would marinate to soothe wounds and aches and ensure that he was steeped in the scent he preferred. So by the time he bathed, straightened his hair to prevent it from curling as it liked to do, and dressed - though without his coat as he was sure to shed it once he was in the kitchen - it was maybe somewhere between twenty and thirty minutes after Michael had made his way down.

Patience was crucial. Alastor was never quite in a hurry first thing after waking, entering the kitchen and spying Michael already there.

Well. He had invited the other to join him, had he not?

Taking in a breath, he offered the angel a small nod before making his way to the counters. With no coat in the way, it was a small thing to manifest an apron to tie to himself to prevent any undue mess that might occur, though Alastor was a well-practiced cook, if one would not feel compelled to label him as an outright chef.

"Anything you'd like to try?" He spoke aloud to... no one in particular.

Even if Michael was the only one present. It was a relatively late morning breakfast that he would be making, but he did not think anyone would fuss about it.

"Unless you plan on just sitting there while I eat."

That was a more directed comment. Not adversarial. Just a mention. Alastor would need to eat, regardless of what Michael chose to do. Otherwise, he risked starvation. As he often did after his 'hibernation' episodes.

But no one needed to know that.

   He gets back to his room rather quickly, a small puff of magic that pulled him from one room to the other. It was–weird to go from the comfort, the personality of Alastor’s room to… this. The extreme lack of anything he had done to this place at all. The pinstriped perfect hotel themed blankets still fitted to the bed that remained untouched. The pile of paperwork that still sat on his desk, the only real evidence that someone actually occupied this space at all. Though that word was generous to use, truthfully. 

   The room felt icy compared to the one he was just in and the way that Michael realized viciously that he missed Alastor’s presence was quite the weight on his chest. It ached in a way he couldn’t quite explain, and the desire to just go see the Radio Demon again nearly had him popping right back upstairs. Refusing to do that he made his way over toward his suitcase he was still living out of and crouched down in front of it.

   A new set of clothes were retrieved from inside and Michael quickly headed into the bathroom, setting the clothes down on the counter and stripping from his own. He bathed rather quickly, using whatever products were inside the shower already provided by the hotel. According to the label, they were apple themed which didn’t surprise him after hearing Lucifer helped rebuild this place. He washed himself down, unfortunately removing any lingering scent of a certain demon from him, and finally turned the water back off. 

   Drying off he dressed in the new clothes, brushed his hair and slid the leaf pin right back into place to attempt to control his bangs. Satisfied he looked alright, and realizing he had left his coat in Alastor’s room, Michael made his way out of the room and toward the elevator. He took his time, the long way, down to the lobby. An attempt at appearing not overly excited to have breakfast with Alastor and see him again. It had only been an hour, if even that since he had last seen him, he couldn’t miss him that much. 

   Some part of that had to be pathetic. 

   Pushing the door to the kitchen open he slipped inside and let it swing shut behind him, quickly glancing around to see if he had managed to beat Alastor down here or not.

I cannot believe that no one bought this elegant little gem of an 1877 2nd Empire townhouse in Minneapolis, MN. It's decorated in grand Baroque style, has 1bd, 2ba, 1,799 sq ft, $989k + $1,029mo. HOA. Maybe it's priced too high? Zillow says it's worth about $935k. The high HOA fee could also be a factor.

Come on, now. NOBODY expects the Baroque Townhouse! Look at the entrance- got some gothic doors, architectural salvage light fixture from a church, and what could be better than a wine rack where you can grab a bottle as soon as you walk thru the door? It also looks like a mini bar. What a way to greet guests.

They really did a lot of work on this place. That's why I think it's priced at almost $1m. The woodwork, alone, is incredible. Look at the delightful dining room that looks like it's under an arbor.

Stone wall with niches. Antique chandelier.

This is a sitting room fit for a queen.

Different areas of the home are done in different styles. The ornate sitting room is Baroque with a massive fireplace and chandeliers.

The custom kitchen has a Frenchy flair and it also has an Aga stove (big bucks) with a mosaic backsplash. Look at the flowers painted on the counters.

You can see the pantry on the left, plus plenty storage in the cabinetry, and another mosaic backsplash behind the sink.

There's a copper ceiling over the dining area. This is an eat-kitchen so you can enjoy it every day. View from the windows looks out toward the city.

Beautiful, cozy den has a door to the garden. Gorgeous wainscoting, wood ceiling, brick wall w/shelves, and stained glass windows.

Your guests get to use this fabulous powder room with an intricately carved sink topped by a marble counter, gold swan faucet, and a cut crystal bowl for a sink.

Down the hall is an Asian-inspired full bath with a carved black marble tub and a huge dragon head faucet.

Look at that thing. Then, right across, behind folding doors, they've got a convenient laundry room.

Check out the pattern of the marble in the shower.

Large bath has a beautifully painted chest-turned-sink, and a private water closet.

The magnificent entrance to the bath is guarded by foo dogs.

The bedroom decor ties in with the theme of the bath.

The doorway to the bath is in the bedroom. The walls look like a teahouse.

The stairs have murals and carved doors. The home has 3 levels and I can't discern what floors the rooms are on, b/c as usual, the real estate photos are completely mixed up.

Impeccably maintained garages.

I wish they would've shown the sunrooms and rooftop terraces. Look at the glass structures on the roof.

That's the Mississippi River going by. The home is actually on a little island called Nicollet Island.
