Thanks to j15n for sending this unusual 1969 mid-century modern home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It has 3bds, 2ba, and is a reasonable $499,900. I like the awning outside.

The frosted window next to the door is a nice idea, unless I don't want to answer the door. I do like the 2 stone planters and stairs up to the living room

This house is pristine. Look at the dramatic stone wall with niches and a fireplace. Love the hearth. The far wall is wood clad and there're beams going across the ceiling and vertically up to ceiling.

The architecture is so unique and It's wonderful that it's been completely preserved. I would decorate this place like crazy.

The dining area is right next to the kitchen. Look at the legs on the cabinets.

The fireplace soars above the kitchen wall. In the kitchen, you see the stone of the fireplace wall, but the walls in here are brick.

The cabinets are so cool and the stove is original.

Look at these architectural features. It's like a stage. This place is screaming for decor. This would be such a cool area for seating, a little office area. Look at the window ahead and all the 3/4 walls.

Could be some kind of fun display up here, too.

What a great space for entertaining. It has a beautiful terrazzo floor and a corner bar but it's just a sink- You can't go behind it, unless there's a hidden door somewhere.

This home is so interesting.

What a cool shower room. That sink! Unfortunately, the toilet was replaced. Too bad they picked one with an elongated seat.

The primary bedroom is quite large and has a big closet.

The other 2 bedrooms are surprisingly large.

The 2nd bath has a big sink cabinet with a vanity. Original beige sinks and tub.

Oh, the rec room in the basement is beautiful. Love the white brick fireplace. This space could look so cool with a retro theme. That plant box needs climbing ivy.

Very nice built-in wall unit and shelving.

Attractive room and the striped ceiling is very cool.

Nice patio and yard with a cute garden and shed.

I‘m very late but, scrolling through all the beautiful art I missed, the photographs of where you live are very interesting! They remind me of Alaskan landscapes and foliage 100%, and a little bit of Scottish highland forests. It’s not important but I wanted to ask, do you know what the plant with the white flowers in the foreground of a couple of your summer forest pictures is? I‘m a plant nut & am interested to see if it‘s a plant Finland and Scotland share or not. No worries if not. Thanks for sharing!

That's interesting, I knew northern Finland had some things in common with Alaska but I never considered our landscapes could be similar to Scottish scenery.

You mean this plant? It's Rhododendron tomentosum, and it seems like it's called marsh Labrador tea, northern Labrador tea or wild rosemary in English, suopursu in Finnish. They grow abundantly in swamps and pine/spruce forests and bloom intensely around June and July. They smell amazing too, strongly enough to cause headaches in some people, but personally I love it, one of my favorite wild flowers and favorite nature smells for sure. They were/have been used as herbal medicine for centuries, mainly to treat rheumatism and skin conditions, despite them being mildly poisonous.

#it looks like they grow in northern usa&alaska canada greenland and all over northern eurasia #answered #worshipthesquid #also you're not late I habitually answer asks from MONTHS ago #time doesn't move linearly here I refuse to be constrained by modern social media's artificial hecticity

i've got a bone to pick with francis and arthur in modern AU FACE family dynamics (i say this writing a fic about the NA twins rn where they're 25 in 2023)

how on EARTH did they come up with the names Matthew and Alfred in the year 1998. Matthew was relatively popular, but where in the world did they come up with Alfred?

and you know who named who.

Francis: Ah, this is our beautiful son, Matthieu. Arthur: Alfred. This one will be Alfred. Francis: What? Don't you... want something more modern? Something chic and- Arthur: No, no. Alfred.
