When people drive by Cary and Simon’s 1830s farmhouse in Ghent, New York, they usually think it’s a restaurant b/c of the façade. The Façade, by artist Robert Venturi, was inspired by the Halfpenny Brothers chinoiserie pattern book from England.
Believe it or not, Dollar Store finds mingle with the art and antiques. The mushroom center hall table is from a discount store children’s garden set.
Their house exudes a madcap whimsy- in a sitting room, rainbow streamers hang from the ceiling, leftover holiday trimmings were strung up by Simon. When they started drooping, he was going to take them down, but then strung a streamer across the middle instead.
This Empire sofa has Grandma Moses fabric and a Doggie doll pillow by Peyton Jefferson.
Then there are the giant corn-on-the-cob side tables (I have one!) Wing chairs are upholstered in Obama fabric.
They share a wicked sense of humor, and it shows throughout the house. Flip a switch on the wall and that painting begins to spin.
I’m obsessed with the big pink faux fireplace made by artist Robert Venturi. Chairs and table are by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown.
In the powder room; plaster figurines of U.S. presidents.
The house itself is a wonderful mishmash of old and new.
Collection of group photos around “Mount Vernon with George Washington,” 1975, by Alex Katz, in the center.
Going up the stairs, they hung a purple flower garland from the Dollar Store to soften the look.
This guest room features a giant packet of Sweet ‘n Low.
I thought this was a pony tail, but it’s called “Endless Column.” The suitcase belonged to late actress Carol Channing. What great decor.
thinking about how comparatively unisolationist the mirkwood elves are to some other ones we see (e.g. lothlorien) & them just being like. the weird neighbors and sometimes coworkers of the men that live nearby. like I can’t overstate how delighted I am by the idea of them just being a boring (but weird) part of everyday life. there’s groups of men in lotr who’ve never even seen an elf, meanwhile the lake men/men of dale are presumably like “yeah I know an elf. he stole my sandwich last thursday when we were clearing that fallen log & then lied about it :/”
I hope it’s okay to add this on but honestly thinking about the relationships between men, elves, and dwarves in the North delights me so much all the time. I think one thing the Hobbit reveals to us is that they are actually very intertwined politically, economically, even socially! One of my dear headcanons is that Legolas and Gimli have a moment of bonding in the Fellowship’s early days journeying over something cultural they have in common that the others in the group don’t get - like maybe Gimli mentions some very specific barman in Dale and Legolas jumps in with a perfect impression of the guy and they both crack up while everyone else stares at them blankly. I don’t mean to hijack your post but I love thinking about this!

Hi Everyone!! It’s been a hot minute for these three but this video collaboration with @danniburgh has been in the making for a while and it was so much fun to make and I’m excited to get to share it!
This loosely covers the events of Ch 11: It All Falls Apart, Ch 12: Blood in the Water, and just a teeny tiny bit from Ch 13: Purgatory.
I haven’t seen anything at all about the actual morbius movie or what happens in it but I have seen a million jokes about the word morb and the entire movie in a gif at least twice
he gift-wraps self-sacrifice and calls it love; he has never known how to love any other way. he has never given his heart in scraps - it has always been laid bare, whole and beating, on the altar.
and how does one love without an altar? how does one love without bleeding?
call him a martyr or call him a hero, but this kind of love always ends the same. he plants a kiss on the cheek of his love, and then plants his blood in the ground at their feet.
— martyr or hero, he has always been a tragedy // p.s.
