Good dog included in the price.
Sold!
How much for just the dog?
Where is the alcohol cabinet
Any cabinet, they’re all for alcohol!

I like the chandelier, is it possible to have all three bulbs on at the same time?
Probably yes, although a lot of cheapskates will unscrew some of them when not in use to save energy.
I don’t think bulbs use a whole lot of energy these days. A 10W LED bulb would cost $14 per year to run constantly (US pricing). An old 60W bulb would be $83 per year in comparison.
But there’s probably no reasoning with someone who decorated that room.
Math:
LED bulb power = 10W
Electricity cost in US = $0.161 per kWh
Running 1 bulb 24 hrs a day = 0.24kWh
Price per day = $0.038
Price per year = $14, running 1 bulb constantly
Huh, that’s actually more expensive than I’d have thought for a single bulb, even taking into account that you’d probably only be running it for a quarter of the time
I feel like individually every item in this room looks nice but when it’s all shoved together like this it’s sure…intense.
Post-soviet maximalism is a thing, apparently.
There’s a rug on the wall. I didn’t think they know what a tapestry is.
Wall rugs are hung for two reasons:
-
Insulation, both for temperature and sound, back when other insulating materials were unavailable.
-
If a rug is particularly expensive, they are hung to prevent them from getting dirty, especially if the owner’s feet get dirty from farmwork.
-
Wall rugs are a slav thing
Walls made of rugs are a nomad thing.
There were a fair amount of formerly nomadic people in the Soviet Union and I’m guessing there was some cultural exchange
VGH the nomad spirit
But I bet the acoustics are amazing
the soviet apartments typically had cinderblock walls with no insulation and drafty mortar gaps. the heating systems were centralized boilers which usually were not operational/operating.
Soundproofing and insulation.
I looked at it again and I don’t know what to say…
It’s literally all moldy. At least that’s what those sofas look like. (we had some similar sofa looking similar to this and just pzr a blanket over it to make it liik nicer)
I have to be honest and I think I just out and out like it. It’s mixed patterns are rather chaotic, but I love the attempts at extravagance. I’d love that front room, compared to my dull rental one.
Looks like the house of one of those rich Russians that live pretty much everywhere in my neighborhood lol.
I feel like I remember this house and my grandma taking me there. This is a weird experience for me
You are not in this alone.
The contact details belong to a real estate agent, so I think I am not breaking rule #7, but I will blur them out of any future pictures just in case.
You ever go through a Russian amateur porn phase and remember all the fine rugs hanging above the beds?
Gonna muffle the sex sounds somehow, grandma’s sleeping behind that wall.
I feel like you could kill several fallout ghouls and the meat piles would just blend in.
