Gorgeous V is about right

Gorgeous V. oops I meant George V

This sprawling 1930 home in Fennville, Michigan, only has 3bds and 1.5ba, just like an average home, but it's listed for $2.9M. So, what is taking up all the space in this huge home?

Oh, well for one thing, it's got to be this great room. Most of the letters fell off the blocks on the balcony, but it says "Showstoppers." There's a wood burning stove in the corner, and according to the floorplan, this is a living room.

Here're spiral stairs going up to a mezzanine and there's a carpeted area. The floorplan says that this is a sitting room.

It looks like there was hot tub here, but all that's left is the cover.

Across from the hot tub is a shower and maybe that's a sauna behind the door.

This is the half bath.

Well, the kitchen needs a remodel. You could probably get away with painting the cabinets and changing the hardware, but the walls. I wonder if you could open up that brick fireplace and if the cabinet is going around it and it's intact. Wouldn't it make a great pizza oven?

Back to the Showstopper room, the mezzanine has a very large space with a terrace.

According to the 2nd level floorplan this is a sitting room.

There are definitely bedrooms above the hot tub room.

And, these are bedrooms #'s 2 & 3.

The full bath is on the 2nd level.

The primary bedroom. It has a little sink in the corner, b/c the only full bath is upstairs.

This room has a bar. At least that's what I think it is. It also looks like it says "Showstoppers" on the fireplace, too, and it's the family room.

Here's the dining room. According to the floorplan, that's the back of the fireplace that's in the kitchen.

And, the sunroom.

On the side of the house is a 2 car garage.

The property is 5.2 wooded acres on Lake Michigan.

There's also a cute little log cabin on the property.

I don't know how far Lake Michigan is from the house, but this is a picture of it.

i still cannot get it out of my head that a police officer pointed a gun and screamed "get on the ground" repeatedly when faced with a young man burning alive. its been like 12h since i saw the video and it keeps coming back to me. you literally could not ever make this up

if someone wrote this scene as a political metaphor ppl would roll their eyes, as if as if as if. and it just happened. the arm of the state that holds a gun knows nothing but killing even when faced with death itself

"The Vladimir Tiara" - HM Queen Elizabeth II

Purchased in the 1920s by her grandmother, Queen Mary of Teck, from The Grand Duchess Vladimir (Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, a German princess, who married Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia, a son of Emperor Alexander II, in the 1870s). 

The tiara can be worn with or without drops. Above the three versions:

- without drops

- with pearl drops

- with emerald drops (from the Cambridge emerald collection used to create the Delhi Durbar parure)

Do people realize that Israel is so unrestrained that it’s now launching attacks in Lebanon and Syria as well. Do people realize how little Arab people mean to these genocidal maniacs that they are now killing people in three Arab countries. Can genocide apologists pause their pure hatred for Arabs to at the very least admit this. Or are we going to pretend that Israel has a reason to be intensifying attacks in Damascus right now

"On the 21st of April, 1926, a great joy came into the Royal Family with the birth of a daughter to the Duke and Duchess of York. She was named Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, but His Majesty (George V) when he heard what she was to be called, said laughingly: “She will soon be Betty; no little girl can keep up the dignity of Elizabeth,” and “Betty” she became.
