Good dog included in the price.
- Sold!
- How much for just the dog?
Where is the alcohol cabinet
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 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.
- 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.
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.
Looks like the house of one of those rich Russians that live pretty much everywhere in my neighborhood lol.
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.
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.
