Good dog included in the price.
I feel like I remember this house and my grandma taking me there. This is a weird experience for me
You are not in this alone.
Where is the alcohol cabinet
Any cabinet, they’re all for alcohol!
I looked at it again and I don’t know what to say…
I have to be honest and I think I just out and out like it. It’s mixed patterns are rather chaotic, but I love the attempts at extravagance. I’d love that front room, compared to my dull rental one.
There’s a rug on the wall. I didn’t think they know what a tapestry is.
Wall rugs are hung for two reasons:
-
Insulation, both for temperature and sound, back when other insulating materials were unavailable.
-
If a rug is particularly expensive, they are hung to prevent them from getting dirty, especially if the owner’s feet get dirty from farmwork.
-
Wall rugs are a slav thing
Walls made of rugs are a nomad thing.
There were a fair amount of formerly nomadic people in the Soviet Union and I’m guessing there was some cultural exchange
I like the chandelier, is it possible to have all three bulbs on at the same time?
Probably yes, although a lot of cheapskates will unscrew some of them when not in use to save energy.
I don’t think bulbs use a whole lot of energy these days. A 10W LED bulb would cost $14 per year to run constantly (US pricing). An old 60W bulb would be $83 per year in comparison.
But there’s probably no reasoning with someone who decorated that room.
Math:
LED bulb power = 10W
Electricity cost in US = $0.161 per kWh
Running 1 bulb 24 hrs a day = 0.24kWh
Price per day = $0.038
Price per year = $14, running 1 bulb constantly
Huh, that’s actually more expensive than I’d have thought for a single bulb, even taking into account that you’d probably only be running it for a quarter of the time
The contact details belong to a real estate agent, so I think I am not breaking rule #7, but I will blur them out of any future pictures just in case.
