It's been 2 years. You can forgive yourself. The 2020ish+/- years were weird.
It's not even so much the TV bc that can be moved. And looks like they aligned it with the fireplace grate....which could have worked - if it weren't for the cheap ass faux stone veneer that was unaccountably stopped where it was.
Lol they really took these pictures with April's stuff all over the place.
Psst, April, if your sugar daddy only provides you mismatched plastic hangers, you're doing it wrong.
Do Catholic churches call it a rectory, too? I thought that was a purely Episcopalian term (and priests in the EC are, formally, rectors, though depending on flavor/background will accept priest and pastor as well. Epis Church is best church, just muddled
).Most MN homes need a water softener, whether on municipal water or well. https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/wells/waterquality/iron.html
Although I understand that at present time glass tops are a new rage (meaning induction cook tops), gas (of vintage < 30 years old) has been and is it. But it's clear from those appliances (stove and the rest) and the bathrooms, trim, kitchen, etc., that they kept this house to its middle class origins*. Nothing wrong with that - they moved from that house awhile ago and were renting/allowing people to live there for free; totally understandable they'd do the minimum. At least it's...clean? (ignoring slasher horrors in the bathroom**)
*same for their main house but I digress.
** for not much money they could have had that thing retiled. I appreciate a "we know someone's going to rip everything tf out so not going to bother too much" house sale, but mercy, that shower.
Maybe, but houses there built long before that time don't routinely have that level of discoloration, by a long shot.
I was wondering the same (if they were on well water). Yet still, you have what you have, and you deal with it. That pic says, "not dealing with anything."
The biggest problem with this house, aesthetically speaking, is that it's just a fucking garage in front. Some misguided idea of privacy, maybe, even though it's a 7.8 acre lot. Terrible. Just terrible.
Idk about this house but their main house is a very common mn design: the walkout. Main level, lower (livable and sometimes very nice, equal detail to main) level. It's not in vogue now but there are a billion houses in mn with that style and it can be done well.
Agree it's got builder's standard decisions, but I don't see it as a mcmansion. Where is the double-height foyer with brass chandelier, I ask you?!
Their main house seems to me standard slightly above-average builder's/90s mn aesthetic that was updated in some ways (iirc their outdoor space has some nice upgrades (with wood walls/ ceilings/ soffits) though I could be misremembering) but they apparently enjoyed the <90s/early 2000s Midwestern trim, carpet, materials, etc. If he didn't have money I wouldn't say a word about it, BUT.
Law school is 3 years.
: Wow, look at all that land for cheap....Think of all the Banana pepper crops you can sow in it.....my god....it even has space for a dedicated cheddar cheese storage unit!
