As Promised…<\/b><\/p>\n

I actually do have some fine pictures showing off some of the detail in our new house. These show some of the little bits that when combined actually make the place—in my mind anyway—”cute.” I was sold.<\/p>\n

But first, this very unfortunate picture (not photoshopped, sadly for the driver).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They really could have selected a better name. Any other name.<\/p>\n

Now, on with our show…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve never seen a light fixture quite like this before. It takes a special bulb (of course) with a silver coating to reflect light up towards the ceiling. The joy of having the bulb stick out of the bottom is that you can see what fine American manufacturer constructed it.<\/i> It’s like product placement from a simpler time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sure, you may have a peephole, but this one is almost grand. You don’t so much show up at our doorstep as much as you must announce your arrival.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I can’t make a wall go around a corner and I certainly can’t do that with tile either. Amazing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…and the curviness continues throughout the bathroom. The fixtures are original and NOT BROKEN. They’re sixty years old and in great shape. Could it be the coolest part of the house?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The front door lockset is original too. Sure, go ahead and find a key. I dare you. It eats aluminum blanks for lunch. Our landlady calls this a feature. In a sense, duplicate keys “expire,” which pleases her to no end. I’m pretty happy about that too considering the former tenants (but that’s another story).<\/p>\n

More text-based bits later,<\/p>\n
