#luxury A frame

[hometoursandotherstuff]

This is the most expensive  A-Frame I’ve ever seen. It’s in Los Altos, California, has 4bd., 2.5ba and was built in 1957. $4.5M.

Surrounded by a privacy wall, you enter the property thru a private door, not a gate.

Inside, the MCM home has been remodeled, and look at the magnificent black beams, plus open and airy glass walls. Gorgeous stone fireplace goes straight up to the vaulted ceiling.

Behind the living room is a glass bump-out dining room.

Next is the kitchen that faces the glass wall looking out to the patio.

The MCM style kitchen has a new burgundy subway tile backsplash, placed vertically for added interest. 

There is also a family room with an attractive modern teal tiled fireplace and spiral stairs.

The main bd. isn’t exceptionally large, but it has a modern shiplap ceiling with beams, a door to the deck and an en-suite.

The en-suite has been renovated and has lovely MCM elements including marble counters and a vintage tub.

Nice walk-in closet.

The secondary bds. are a decent size. This one features a skylight.

The 2nd bath has a beautiful big shower.

A home office with lots of storage and a window seat.

In the peak of the uppermost floor of the house, is a great studio with access to a terrace.

There’s a half bath up here, also.

Would you believe that this is the garage?

I have never seen such a clean tool closet.

Notice that the beams of this home are steel and set in cement. Usually A-Frames of economical construction have wood beams.

It has a beautiful deck.

The grounds are lovely, like Japanese gardens.

The terrace for the studio.

Beautiful view from the terrace.

Look at the size of this thing- that’s a big long A-Frame.

Quick question about a quick quilt...

I can finish a lap size rag quilt in less than a week, twin size in about a week, queen size in two weeks. It's three layers of fabric, quilt-as-you-go, minimal piecing, and they are heavy. Excellent for cold weather and folks who like the weight of blankets but not weighted blankets.* These quilts aren't as hot as layers of fabric plus beads/pellets, and they breathe much more effectively. For a heavier rag quilt, it's a layer of denim and two layers of quilting cotton or flannel. I have a rag quilt for myself that's three layers of quilting cotton. My house is drafty and winters are full of rain, which means the cold sinks into your bones with the humidity. My husband keeps stealing my quilt because his man-cave is the coldest room in the house. He doesn't care that it's very feminine colors "because it's warm."

As for why it's called a rag quilt, here's a sample:

The top is the fluffy side with the exposed seams. Instead of a quarter inch seam allowance the seams under the fabric, it's a one inch seam allowance and the seams are exposed. Said seams are then cut at one inch intervals. With every washing, the seams get fuzzier and softer. They're fun to touch and feel really nice. It's also why these must be dried ALONE or all the strings will end up on whatever else is in the dryer. Three layers of fabric also means two rounds in the dryer on high heat (which is why I like using flannel rather than quilting cotton) or one round of high heat and hanging to dry for a couple hours.

The back looks like a more traditional quilt top and is often the side with denim on it if denim is used. The one is three layers of flannel and was a giveaway prize earlier this year, to celebrate meeting a ko-fi goal.

These are a delight to make and excellent for cold winters and drafty homes. Did I mention they're pretty heavy? The one I have, once all folded up, weighs about six pounds, and knocks my husband out within about ten minutes of him laying over himself. It's why I plan on making a rag quilt for him. He keeps stealing mine.

For context regarding prices, these take significantly less time to make. This one, a lap size, took just 14.5 hours, and that included the quilting. A traditional style baby quilt starts at $2125 because I have a lot more cutting and sewing, and I do the quilting by hand (though it will soon change due to soon having a machine I can use on my Cutie frame and do all my quilting on it), and can take 70-80 hours start to finish. I charge $27/hour + cost of materials to come to the final price.

*A PT I know hates weighted blankets because they cause a lot of injuries. People rolling in bed with a weighted blanket on them have ended up in physical therapy because of soft tissue tears. Most especially dangerous for people with EDS and other connective tissue conditions. Other injuries they've seen are from the pockets with the beads/pellets in them tearing open. Pets and small children have been known to choke on those, and folks who are heavy sleepers can also be injured if the pockets near their face tear in their sleep. When the beads/pellets get all over the floor, people fall and end up with serious injuries from that. Not to mention overheating under all of them because the material doesn't breathe well.

Women don't shave because men want them to look like children, they shave because razor companies wanted to make more money and spent decades framing body hair as unhygienic and shaving as luxurious and mature, something that women with the time to spend doing some pointless cosmetic thing and the money to spend on razors and shaving creams and all their other products do because they're rich and beautiful and important.

That's it. It's capitalist bullshit dependant on misogyny and on creating new misogynistic beauty standards and kids have absolutely nothing to do with it.

I can't believe that the answer all along was just to get a top sheet that's connected to the fitted sheet at one end so it can't escape during the night. My bed feels so much cleaner and fancier now with everything in place! Every version of this product is stupid expensive because it's a gimmick thing produced in small volumes, but we honestly need to change that. This should be the default. If you're not angry about being expected to remake a bed with a separate top sheet that flees into the woods every single morning you're not paying attention, etc.
