Today is the first day of winter vacation for my kids, which means we get to spend all day, every day together. Every single minute. My beloved young children. Oh, how wonderful to be spending all this quality time with you. Mama’s just going to take a little bathroom break, okay?
*click*
I’ll be right out, hon bun…
The corkscrew oh my god I forgot the corkscrew

That’s an awful way to treat good wine! Imagine the humidity and temperature changes a bathroom goes through….
What’s with the big scary stainless steel doors in the photo I’ve linked my name to? Do those lead to the stairwell maybe? It looks like a giant commercial fridge is invading the living room!
I’m glad you don’t know what it is, either. I thought I was just horribly unsophisticated, what with not keeping my wine in the bathroom and not knowing what a gigantic silver cylinder is for …
I think it’s the stairway? Maybe? Or yet another bathroom?
Cryogenics?
It looks like a set piece from the movie “Dune”.
or Andromeda Strain.
Whatever it is, it doesn’t belong in a living room. (And it’s going to take a lot of polishing. Imagine the handprints.)
I don’t see a bottle opener in that picture. It’s time to panic.
PANIC! AHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRGGGGHHHDDBBBLLEE.
Don’t panic!
Oh thank god.
The French enjoy scrubbing their toilet with a good merlot.
All that wine makes those nutty folks install their bay windows backwards! All of them! (But that garden rocks…)
The backwards bay windows are bugging me too!
I used to hide in the bathroom to eat chocolates so I wouldn’t have to share them with my kids, so I’m right on board with the wine cellar in the can thing. I also noticed the nice selection of paperbacks (although my bathroom bookshelf is larger) so I’m thinking this a room in which the owners spend some quality time…
oh my GOD, you make me LAUGH OUT LOUD. honestly. Especially today (well, and Chairturdays)…. I have 5 kids who are ALL out of school til 1-4…. if I drank, I would beeeee there with you in the bathroom… probably passed out in the tub…
Cheers!
Nothing like the thought of splashback to whet your appetite for wine!
At least there’s a towel handy because every good sommelier uses a serviette to wipe the cork before pouring.
Surely there’s a corkscrew iPhone app?
Okay……I’m pretty much speechless on this one.
This wine would be undrinkable in my house with 2 boys around. EEeeewww, that’s disgusting!
Seriously how hard is it to hang the wine rack =))
Okay, that’s just disgusting! It’s not just about kids – ANY males in the house are likely to be occasionally (or always) off-target, and just….ewwww!
I even get grossed out by those baskets of tp and such people set next to the toilet. It’s usually done by women who have no conception of how men use the bathroom. Yuk!
yeah… My mom has put things next to the toilet that… well… I just keep moving away from the toilet… and it’s not being “off aim” so to speak, it’s the “spray”
Dear Realtors(tm),
That parking garage looks just like all the other parking garages. In future you can skip that picture.
Thanks!
Okay.
I understand it’s a beautiful apartment across four floors. The inward opening front door is at ground level – Yup, got that.
It has a lovely little patio garden WHICH ANYONE WALKING PAST CAN ACCESS – Faaaaabulous security daaaaahlink!
And the bay windows in reverse I can just about understand – they’re part of the decorative frontage of the block and everyone looking out has a LOVELY view of a pillar right smack dab in the middle of each bay.
The silver cylinder is the view of the stair case (open plan and spiral) from the flat window side of the second floor – lovely and open lots of space.
BUT WHY for the love of all that’s holy do we start the photo tour with the view of the toilet cum wine cellar? Eh? What’s THAT about?
It’s not even at the start of the photos – you have to scroll back and forth from the start photo to get the full tour.
Is the estate agent trying to tell us something?
Pluses: Stylish, roomy (especially for Europe), lots of windows although only on each end, luxurious storage in that one dressing area, practically indoor parking, three bathrooms, apparently one full, one 3/4, and one 1/2. I couldn’t tell from the floor plans, which are too small to read on my netbook. Excellent patio except see below.
Minuses: Stainless steel in living room looking like a giant commercial gene bank or something, lots of stair climbing necessary, reverse bay windows, overlooked by another big institutional-looking apartment building. No privacy on patio because of this, despite hedge.
Okay, weird stainless steel phone booth in the living room aside… how on earth do you get your furniture in, up those spiral stairs?
Try this Chablis – “Maison Piston”. We call it “Whizzer White”. It has a pithy finish, with notes of asparagus and a hint of ammonia.
I hereby nominate “It has a pithy finish…” for Best Comment Fragment Ever.
Thankth.
Agree! Best ever, although can anyone read it without doing an accent (any) in their head?
oh my god I almost fell off the couch laughing. I actually scared the dogs and they left the room
Imagine the wine-tasting parties at this place: “this bordeaux is rich and fruity, with tones of peaches and blackberries and the faintest undernote of e. coli …”
If you’re a dinner guest here, don’t drink the white wine – if you get my drift.
It’s postings like these that make me run to your blog first thing in the morning when I get in to work.
Fancy some plonk while you plonk??
(it may be an Australian expression, but “plonk” is slang for wine)
Gives a new meaning to “getting on the piss”. And who’s to say that’s not wine in the bathroom but rather a toilet in the cellar?
true
