I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

muscle memory is great. if i do something enough times then every time i'm in a remotely similar situation my body will automatically devote all its energy to helping me fuck it up as confidently as possible.

Crimson Peak is SO fucking funny when they first get to the house and Hiddles is like. Oh yeah forget to mention, giant hole in the roof. Also the floor is rotten, someday the whole foundation will collapse. And don't be alarmed if the pipes start bleeding! It's just that the very ground beneath our feet is oozing red liquid, absolutely drenched with it, as though the entire house is bleeding and bloodstained, as though the very earth our family legacy is built upon were one great open wound.
I fucking love Gothic settings. Don't worry about it Edith, welcome to your very normal and inhabitable house.

1905 Romanesque stone house is perfect for Goth lovers. It's in Sioux City, Iowa, has 6bds, 5ba, and is listed for $450K.
The front door opens to a foyer with a closet, then an inner hall.
I really like this renovation. The black walls and ceilings just seem to suit this house. A white fireplace stands out beautifully.
Isn't this a pretty room for conversation?
Beautiful. Look at the dreamy window seat.
I love the simplicity of the dining room. The original oak door and molding grace the black wall.
Love the roomy kitchen. The painted floor and the inlaid in the corner where possibly the old stove stood was preserved. I love the stenciled ceiling.
You can pull up a chair here while the dinner cooks or cookies bake.
Two fridges flank a china cabinet. Clever idea.
Simply elegant ground floor primary bedroom.
This art deco vanity is gorgeous. I wonder if it conveys.
While the bath isn't 1905, the color of the later fixtures and tiles were beautifully preserved. What a great job with the matching wallpaper.
Tucked in the hall is a mahogany bar.
Large bedroom with pretty wallpaper and a wainscoting effect.
Look at the handsome colors in this bath. Love this.
Here's a large room that could be the primary bedroom, family room, or even a library. Love the columns and built-in shelving.
The original inlaid floors are wonderful. Look at the pocket doors. The overhead lights tilt toward one another.
Thru the pocket doors there's this sweet pink bedroom.
Oh, look at the shower and pedestal sink in this bath. The baths must've been renovated in the 20s.
I wonder if the the tub or shower was originally in this area.
Very spacious bedroom.
Yet another great bath.
This is nice, an enclosed porch.
Oh, look a secret room. Love this. I think it's the attic.
Wow, look at this attic.
Oh, man, the bath up here is definitely original.
This home is amazing.
Beautiful painted floor on the large deck in the back.
.4 acre lot, so it has a nice size yard.
