She's a beauty all year long. 1880 Victorian in perfect condition in Quincy, Illinois has 4bds, 3ba, and is a buy at $589K.

Small foyer before you enter the hall.

The entrance hall- that newel post!

The home features quality craftsmanship- butternut, walnut and oak woods adorn the entire home, floor to ceiling.

Reception room with original carved fireplace.

The sitting room also has the same beautiful fireplace. I like this dark, broody room, it looks like Dark Academia.

Beautiful Victorian reproduction wallpaper.

Lovely rosy dining room can accommodate a large group of people.

Even though I usually don't like modern kitchens in Victorians, this is beautiful, and the cabinetry is very high end.

Love the satin finish, the deep green/gray color, and dark counters against the white tile.

Large laundry/mud room off the kitchen.

Great vintage bath remodel.

Very large bedroom is the primary. Double pocket doors open to a large office.

Nice smaller room.

Lovely guest room.

The cozy 4th bedroom.

Another pretty reno'd bath.

Wine racks in the basement.

Plus a neat workshop.

Lovely porches and patios in the back.

This home is on a .39 acre lot.

My second hardest battle

I had to literally pry Chaos' mouth open, shove my finger towards his throat to get him to move his tongue out of the way, and then slip the bottle into his mouth while he screamed at me

But we had a rousing success after with him drinking about 40mls and turning into a sphere

No but seriously. Normalize finding love in your 40's. Normalize discovering and chasing new dreams in your 30's. Normalize finding yourself and your purpose in your 50's. Life doesn't end at 25. Let's stop acting like it does.

So you don’t have to watch the video every time you need one of these hacks immediately:

1. If you feel nauseated, smell rubbing alcohol.

2. If you feel like throwing up, start humming.

3. If you have a runny nose, put your tongue to the roof of your mouth and press your thumb to your forehead for about 20 seconds.

4. If you have a headache, pinch the webbing between your fingers and rub it back and forth for about 1 minute.

5. If you’re lightheaded from standing up too quickly, clench your butt cheeks.

6. If your arm’s dead/has the pins and needles feeling, rock your head back and forth.

7. If you need to pee badly, think of sex to trick your brain and relieve the pressure.

8. If you have a migraine, stick your hands in ice water.

9. If you wanna calm your racing heart, blow on your thumb.

Thanks to Curieously for sending this lovely 1903 Georgian Revival estate in Hinsdale, Illinois. It has 8bds, 8ba, $9,999,999.

Lovely sunny hall enters into a dining area.

I can't resist a pink room and this one has a beautiful bar behind a pink lattice wall.

Pretty pink sitting area with lots of natural light.

What a lovely breakfast room on the sun porch. Love the fountain.

Wow, the gorgeous lattice work is even on the ceiling. It looks beautiful, and I'm sure they must have a staff to clean it.

As is typical of large homes, there is always an assortment of places to sit.

What a delightful blue fireplace and banquette in this dining room.

This gray living room is more formal, even has a more formal lattice ceiling. Every colorful home in this home has a different design.

The large kitchen was renovated has gorgeous dark cabinetry and amazing marble-patterned quartz.

I like this better than the dull white quartz that they always pick on HGTV.

The curving stairs are Georgian, but the decor is Art Deco.

What a delightful floral bedroom.

Here's a home office where they must entertain clients.

Luxurious bedroom with a bed alcove.

Interesting- a retro lounge even has a disco ball.

A round room for music and relaxing.

Plus, look at this- a vintage bowling alley.

2.79 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds.

The patio and pool.

Truly a beautiful property.

Huge home and every room is beautifully decorated.
