Yikes on that Seattle house! Hmmm. Trap door to unfinished basement, bars on windows of small room, suspicious stains in bathroom… must obviously be a murder house.
I still love that beaver thing on Tumblr! Also the “why we love LOTR” comments. Though I just started a re-read of LOTR via audiobook, so I listened to the intro stuff that I normally skip, and apparently Tolkien didn’t intend LOTR as a WW story, even though there’s no denying the impact it had on him.
That Visalia home is rather nice, but I suspect the comparatively low pricetag is because it’s in Visalia. I wouldn’t want to live out there, personally. Though it is a lovely place.
I am also partial to turrets, and that is an especially nice one. The water floors, though… I would definitely freak out (especially late at night or after drinking). But then again, the mushroom house would freak me out also.
Hi kitties! Such cuties.
