Love it or Hate it? This Minnesota MCM Time Capsule Has Me Stumped

The house featured in this week’s column has me twisted. I love it. I hate it. I just don’t know. Or maybe it’s just the hormones. Menopausal women can be quite mad at times or so I’ve heard. Ha ha ha

I love Moira so much. I digress.

First off, this house is located in Minnesota. Any other time in my life I would have said “Minnesota!!!” in a really snarky way but right now, the -40 degree weather sounds heavenly. So that I love. The color of the home matches the leaves on the tree in the front yard. I hate it. But, these folks cut holes into their roof so their bushes could keep growing. I just don’t know.

Dollars to donuts it was those same algae bandits that defaced the Reflecting Pool that then came here and painted this house. Those algae vandals really get around. Sorry, not sorry. I could not resist.

I include this one photo specifically so you can see that they did create a way for those bushes/trees to keep growing through the roof. Easily, a dozen other things could be said about what is going on with this roof but that is what the comment section is for.

When I first saw all the blue, I thought it was a pool. I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen a swimming pool in the living room. How do we feel about the fireplace being that close to the curtains? Oy vey? And what up with the huge disparity of perspective in the pictures of this room? On the upside, that carpet is really well maintained.

Here’s the story of a lovely lady… Who was bringing up three very lovely girls… All of them had hair of gold like their mother… the youngest one in curls.

So what smell do you think is more prominent in that wrinkled carpet: the endless packs of Virginia Slims or the smell of grilled meat?

Here’s a math problem for you. My big ‘ol butt plus the Gusman’s big ‘ol butt bumping into each other as we brush our respective teeth equals one of us not making it out of the bathroom alive. (Pssst, it would be the Gusman. I’d drop him like a bad habit. Again, hormones.)

The sink situation is much better here but you need to make sure you close those blinds before you start your morning constitutional. Right when you get into your groove, you know that pervy little Eddie Haskell will pop his pointy little head up through the window. Okay, one more.

Floating staircase in royal blue carpeting!!! I love it. There is no way I would make it down those stairs alive. I hate it. But it is really cool. I just don’t know.

Here’s wishing everyone a safe and refreshing cool holiday weekend.

Located in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, this home is listed for $350,000.
