#french country house

[hometoursandotherstuff]

I simply cannot resist a house with a turret. This 1930 beauty in St. Cloud, Minnesota blends French countryside seamlessly with the finest standards and attention to detail. 3bds. 4ba. $699,900.

Original custom made doors. 

Look at the lovely arched hallway, rounded walls, tiled floors and wrought iron railings.

The sitting room has a lovely French fireplace. One door opens to the dining room and one to the beautiful sunroom.

Isn’t this a wonderful room? And, look at the size of the radiator- it’s a year round space.

The sunroom also has a door to the dining room. Look at the built-in glassware display closet. 

This is my kinda kitchen- it’s not matchy-matchy, has antique furniture taking the place of cabinetry, and original tile backsplashes. If new buyers come in and modernize this kitchen I will bitch slap them.

Look at the doorways on the upper floors.

The main bd. is spacious and has this wonderful original en-suite. Look at the fabulous tile. 

This bd. has room for a desk and it also opens to the upper terrace. 

This bath was modernized, but at least they kept the pedestal sink and original mirrored medicine cabinet.

There’s definitely potential in the attic. 

Home also offers a finished basement with a lovely brick fireplace.

Isn’t this a cute little area?

Look at the antique sink in the laundry room. I even love the radiators hanging on the ceiling.

Bonus! The house has gryphons on the upper terrace.

The property is on the banks of the Mississippi River.

Cute little shed on the property, too. It’s a great house.

MARSTON HOUSE’S WINTER HOME IN PROVENCE

[hometoursandotherstuff]

This 2002 French Provincial country estate in Shelby, North Carolina hasn't sold- it's been on the market for over 630 days. It has 4bds, 5ba and is listed for $4.9M, which they haven't reduced. I guess they're waiting for the right buyer to come along. Well, let's see if we like it.

Well, it's got a castle-like entrance hall.

Wow, this is some fancy Great Room. Look at the balconies and ceiling.

Here's a sophisticated room.

These mansions have so many sitting rooms. I guess what else would they do w/all these rooms. Nice fireplace in here.

Look at this bathroom.

Vanity table in the bathroom. They cut off the ceiling in here- it looks like it has a mural.

Dressing room/closet.

Check out the dining room. It's so fancy.

That's some kitchen island.

Wow, I wouldn't want to be the one to polish that copper.

I would say that this is the TV/family room.

Here's another staircase.

This is a cute room. It's like a game room.

Looks like a writing desk.

Wow, look at this bathroom. That must be a closet in the middle.

A whimsical child's room?

This must be the main bedroom.

Here's a natural looking pool surrounded by rocks and grass.

Except when you look at it from above.

So, there's a bridge to a patio with a fireplace, over the pool.

The estate comes with 48.6 acres of land.

Tucked away in a secret corner of the forest, this enchanting stone cottage looks like it was plucked straight from the pages of a fairytale. With ivy trailing up the weathered walls and sunlight dancing on the tiled roof, this charming retreat invites you to unwind and enjoy a tranquil moment in the quaint courtyard. The rustic wooden table, set for outdoor dining, is perfect for an afternoon tea or an intimate dinner surrounded by nature. Every detail, from the arched doorways to the flower-filled window boxes, whispers of timeless European charm, offering a peaceful escape into a storybook world where life moves at a slower, more magical pace.

Unmatched blue tones on a painted chair, slipper chair, and loveseat pillows lend the bedroom a casual air.

I used to have an idea that I could get an investigative podcast to look into the scam gofundmes and find out where they are all coming from, so that it could finally break the spell they have on tumblr's userbase and increase scam literacy. We all agree that money should be going to fundraisers with a high chance that the money will be sent by the trusted organiser to a person in Gaza. Right? So sifting out scams is a really good idea as it will increase donations to the legit ones. Right??

But recently I realised it wouldn't fucking work. They would just say it was a huge conspiracy. Look at what happened with the Russian bots. No one has ever heard from the 'activists' who were removed before or since...if you know anything about tumblr you know that when real people get removed for an unjust reason, they come right back with a new username, especially if they feel they have something important to say. But that never happened with these 'activists ' (in quotes because the blogs they ran weren't really about activism, it was social justice shitposting of the kind very popular on tumblr c2015). And despite that, plus the fact that actual investigative journalism work was done to identify them, a good portion of tumblr still thinks it was a huge injustice, a conspiracy to silence powerful and necessary activism work.

So I think that idea is a lost cause. I'm just going to keep telling people to look at the organiser and beneficiary section till I'm blue in the face.
