Postscript to yesterday, and real-estate porn

[icprncs]

This afternoon we went to the Crown Hill Value Village, where we found everything we didn't find yesterday, some additional shirts for both of us, and a near-mint set of the Nightmare Before Christmas "Storybook" ornaments, which we're calling an early birthday present for the fanboy. It's really nice to have all of that out of the way

That house is gorgeous (not that you'd think I would hold a contrary opinion).

Lord, I am making a barely-audible keening sound over that house. The fireplace tiles did me in.

I love Craftsman. Moving to the PNW was like dropping me into a crack den.

There's an original tile mural in the kitchen, too.

All of the light fixtures and all of the stained glass panels are original as well.

The photos in the listing don't do it justice.

Oh my god that house is SO beautiful. You couldn't get a house half that size, let alone a tenth that beautiful, for the UK equivalent of that price. I really, really, really mustn't look at US real estate ever again, it's just way too depressing.

Nope. Still can't afford it. Stupid NW real estate prices. :-(

It reminds me of the house in It's a Wonderful Life.

You probably did play it cool, but your clothes would have given you away no matter what. :)

Hey, you saw what I was wearing yesterday--I was as close to "normal" as I can get. And that was because it was so damn hot, not because I was *trying* to look normal.
