This owner must be literally a Bonaparte because I can't think of why else you would have a gigantic portrait of Napoleon III, the lovely Napoleon, in your house

The tile floor in this one looks really cheap and I can’t quite place why

gently caress that first room is ugly, what did they do

That unpainted wood house though, that's legit charming. I love that probably original fireplace and rough beams

idk but the first room is also the building lobby, not in the actual unit.



they also did something very gross to the ground floor windows and lower walls on the outside

my brain, mostly

I was already browsing Zillow because I like looking at pretty/weird houses so I kinda knew what turns of phrase realtors like to use ("adorable and affordable", "if these walls could talk", "condo alternative") also various architectural styles, architects, materials, features etc.

I have a post-it note with ~future search terms~ on it as I come up with them

What did you get with “condo alternative”?

Just needed a place to vent about this.

Building a house this spring, and I for sure wanted a smart thermostat. I was looking around and saw this...

The Honeywell M5 smart thermostat prototype.



:gowron:

It's sleek, minimalist, clean, classic, and smart. I always loved the old Honeywell Rounds, and this was the perfect 21st century version of it.

A few months later their round, smart thermostat hits store shelves...



It's sort of silly, but I'm legit disappointed they took a thing of beauty that looked timeless, and turned it into a bigger, uglier nest. :bahgawd:

so I'm guessing they probably added the steel beams(?) on the ceiling here and that they're not original:
