Oh, I like this one. It needs a little work, but the price is right. It's an 1863 brick Victorian with a mansard roof in Waterloo, IL. 4bds, 2ba, 3,004sqft, $293k.
Beautiful entrance room. Look at the bronze lamp on the newel post. Wonderful millwork, too
Wainscoting in the dining room is lovely. The arched doorways are great.
They wallpapered so nicely with Victorian repro patterns, and then they do this to the kitchen. All modern cabinetry and tile.
They left this original built-in cabinet, so why didn't they match the cabinets to it?
Back porch with some original cabinets and a small pantry.
They've got some things piled in this small room. It gets a lot of sun, so it would be a good studio, home office, etc.
Okay, they redid the bath with some nice repro pieces
Original pieces in the laundry room. This looks like it may have been a pantry or a scullery.
A wall was opened here, but look at the beautiful window.
Interesting closet
The 2nd floor hallway.
Updated the bath but left the wainscoting and original light switches.
I wonder what's under the carpeting in the bedrooms.
Look at the original cabinets in this one.
Large room with an original closet.
This room needs some work, there's bubbling plaster by the window
The basement is so interesting. It looks like a castle basement. I love this the most.
Oh, this is very cool. A little bar that looks like a rathskeller. This could be amazing.
Large gingerbread porch on the side. It's a 0.48 acre lot.
The outbuilding has potential and look at the little brick doghouse.
Researchers found that small patches of wildflowers can foster the same biodiversity as entire meadows.
A caveat to this study: the researchers were primarily looking at insect pollinator biodiversity. Planting a few native wildflowers in your garden will not suddenly cause unusual megafauna from the surrounding hinterlands to crowd onto your porch.
That being said, this study backs up Douglas Tallamy's optimistic vision of Homegrown National Park, which calls for people in communities of all sizes to dedicate some of their yard (or porch or balcony) to native plants. This creates a patchwork of microhabitats that can support more mobile insect life and other small beings, which is particularly crucial in areas where habitat fragmentation is severe. This patchwork can create migration corridors, at least for smaller, very mobile species, between larger areas of habitat that were previously cut off from each other.
It may not seem like much to have a few pots of native flowers on your tiny little balcony compared to someone who can rewild acres of land, but it makes more of a difference than you may realize. You may just be creating a place where a pollinating insect flying by can get some nectar, or lay her eggs. Moreover, by planting native species you're showing your neighbors these plants can be just as beautiful as non-native ornamentals, and they may follow suit.
In a time when habitat loss is the single biggest cause of species endangerment and extinction, every bit of native habitat restored makes a difference.
so usually when i cut my hair i cut my crown a little longer than the sides/back but this time i was like fuck it and cut everything the same shorter length. dunno if i like how it looks on my head but it does mean i get to stim by running my hand over the entirety of my head instead of just the back
One of Buffalo’s most distinctive homes, where craftsmanship and creativity come together. This funky little house is handcrafted, and if you love wood, you'll like it. 4bds, 1.5ba, 1,190sqft, $149,999.
There are a lot of built-ins, like these shelves, all throughout the house.
Why does it look like they sprayed pictures on the floor? Unless it was done deliberately. I don't know. Anyway, I like the fan. They have a lot of built-ins and look at the ceiling.
Look at this floor.
The all-wood kitchen. Looks like they took the appliances.
Cabinet details.
This is the full bath.
This is one of the bedrooms.
This is nice.
This room looks a little larger. It's difficult to navigate this house b/c of all the wood.
A half bath.
Upstairs, this looks like a bed frame that was left behind.
