Welcome to my digital scrapbook. Wait, is "digital" still a thing? I stopped reading Wired like twenty years ago. I have no fucking idea what is going on.
There are some very cute and unique features to this home in Sweden. This is the entrance hall, and from there, are stairs to go to the 2nd level.
This looks like a mudroom.
There’s a standout orange railing on the stairs leading the 2nd level.
In the living room, there’s a lovely blue fireplace. Their living room looks a little like mine- I get tired of a coffee table, get another one, and shove the current one against a wall.
Off the living room is a sunroom that serves as a dining room.
The kitchen has very unusual cabinets with fancy cutouts and folk art.
Both bedrooms are simple.
But they have a gorgeous antique chest for a vanity in the bathroom.
Or, you can use the bright, ultra-modern bath.
The house is unusual outside, too. This looks like the back of it, but it’s actually the front.
recently looked up the gender symbol for nonbinary folks, and imagine my delight! i assumed it would just be a combo of the standard female/male symbols but
it looks like the moroccan style chandelier from Taylors bathroom could be from Big Daddy’s Antiques, similar ones were seen at and tagged as them on Insta.
thanks to TS home decor for letting us know that pierce and ward seem to use Big Daddy’s Antiques for taylors items. https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5PQAZngFl
You’re telling me there has been a Gay Island this ENTIRE TIME and I’m only just finding out about it????
WHAT
okay, but not enough people know the details on this. people at pride were upset about gay rights in australia. so they decided to sail 200 miles into the coral sea just ‘cause and put a rainbow flag on a fucking empty island out of spite. and i’m talking empty. no inhabitants. zero. it was a flat piece of land with a bit of dry grass. now it has a camp site and a post office.
they have a declaration of independence that talks a bit about gay rights and then just flat out copies the “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” part from the american declaration of independence. and here’s the best part: the founding group actually elected their emperor. he was originally going to be called the “administrator” of a republic. their website, however, says that “upon legal advice, his title was changed to that of Sovereign on the grounds that under Australian law a defacto prince trying to claim his crown cannot be charged with treason”. so they made it a kingdom and he now claims to be a descendent of edward ii.
everything about this is glorious and everyone should know about it.
