Calliope’s home<br/><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f2/05EB65BE-B9B8-47CB-B864-A29DB826A39E.jpeg)<br/><br/>The Applebaum farm can’t really be called a farm anymore.  The old farmhouse and barn are still there and have stood for generations, but not without effort and care.  The small plot of land backs up to old growth woodlands, the same trees great-grandpa Applebaum used to build the house and barn and a pond large enough to fish in.<br/><br/>Calliope’s father let the fields go as he grew older. They have been overtaken by natural grasses and wildflowers. Their potential locked away and waiting to be re-discovered.  Only a small well-tended vegetable garden remains of the old farm.  A brook babbles along the west side of the property and old farming equipment dots the landscape, a memorial to what the land used to be.  Chickens and geese still wander the yard, scattering at the sounds of a cranking engine or the woof of Sawyer, Calliope’s floppy eared old coonhound. <br/><br/>The Applebaum house is two stories but not very large.  Its rooms are small and best described as cozy.  Were the farm restored to its former glory it could be expanded on, but there isn’t much need with it being just Calliope and her father.  A small porch out front holds two chairs and a small end table for afternoon breaks and the occasional nap.<br/><br/>The old barn is larger than the house and filled with Calliope’s latest projects.  There is a loft she has converted into a comfortable nook for when she works late and doesn’t want to risk waking her dad or on those pleasantly warm summer nights when she just wants to sleep closer to nature.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Wonderful!

Thankfully, the roof is in good condition and the chimney has been cleaned out of bird's nests and other debris.  She keeps the grass trimmed short and a combination of rain and the creek, which runs along the front of the house, helps to keep everything green.  The wooden swing needs a bit of sanding and fixing, but its sturdy enough for two grown adults. Even if it creaks and jerks in an odd fashion.  A walkout wooden porch runs the length of the home, and lays behind the white railing, and is probably in need of some weather protecting and sanding itself.<br/><br/>The front door opens into a sitting room.  The two dutch style windows provide plenty of natural light.  Like the porch, wooden floors are found inside as well.  These are in somewhat better condition; though, after a closer inspection, a floorboard or two seems to be loose.  The cherry wooden floor is broken up by throw rugs.  A large cream colored rug with black geometrical designs covers most of the floor in the sitting room.  An sofa large enough to sit three is stationed closer toward the wall, and an old fashioned wooden rocking chair sits in the corner.  A thirty inch flat screen television is hung on the wall between two generic looking prints of Stardew valley.  Only a western looking long thin rug separates the sitting room from the small kitchenette. An old gas stove is sandwiched between a white refrigerator and a late model dishwasher.  Above the stove is a microwave, and under the microwave upon the stove top sit a large skillet and a beige teapot.  Glass front cabinets border the microwave.  In the far corner of the room is a tall circular table, which looks big enough to sit three, with only two bar stools seated around it.<br/><br/>A hallway leads from the sitting room, and leads to the two bedrooms and one bathroom.  The first door on the left is the full bath.  Everything expected to be here can be found here; a medicine cabinet mirror, sink, toilet, shelves above the toilet and a cabinet above the shelves that stores spare towels.  The only truly remarkable feature is the old claw-foot tub which has both a spigot and shower head which will pour into it.  A floral patterned shower curtain helps keep the water in the tub and off the linoleum floors.<br/><br/>The only door on the right opens to the "master bedroom".  Annie's room is decorated light pastel blues and might remind one of Stardew Valley's open sky.  A single skylight, and the most enchanting feature to the whole room, sits directly above the large queen sized bed.  A green colored comforter covers the bed with just a few throw pillows, a body pillow, and the pillows for her head.  To the right of the bed is a nightstand with an alarm clock and desk lamp stationed upon it.  A large dresser sits to the left.  Across from the bed is a full length mirror and next to that is a desk.  Stationed in the corner is a small walk-in closet.  Two ceiling fans border the skylight.  Two windows look out to the east, in an identical style to those in the sitting room, give the bedroom plenty of light during the day - and make it nearly impossible for her to sleep much past sunrise.<br/><br/>The second door on the left is a smaller "guest room" which is currently empty except for the brown shag carpet.  The light switch currently does not seem to turn on the room's light.  Thankfully there's a dutch window to help light the room during the day.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>This is a soothing description to read and I love all the extra details; I love Annie's house. <3<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=349382.msg16423235#msg16423235">Quote from: TheFluffyOne on 10-03-2023, 19:41:51</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div align="center">(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d2/c3/7f/d2c37fe8cbf1f9ccf44049085226487b--cottage-garden-cottage-art.jpg)<br/>In its heyday, the farm at Petal Farm was one to behold. Surrounded by bright beautiful flowers with two large apple trees bringing some much needed shade and a warmth that radiated from within that welcomed anyone who glanced at it. Nowadays, the house has dulled slightly. The flowers still grow but in uneven patches and there are areas where nothing grows at all. A reminder that certain flowers are fickle and like particular soil and don’t bloom over winter. While the flowers have faded in their numbers, the apple trees still produce plenty for pies and sweet cider and that warmth from within remains. However, now it is normally accompanied by whatever meal Brianna has decided to cook up. There is also room for a wandering soul especially if they are in desperate need of a meal!<br/><br/>The small home has two bedrooms, one Master and one that still holds the bunkbeds that Brianna and her brother used to share. The living room is open with the kitchen and a small rickety table sits infront of the window, holding the best view in the house. The kitchen is full to the brim, every inch is covered in decorative plates, crocheted squares and spices. Brianna splits her time between the kitchen and the large worn couch that sits before the small fireplace.</div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>So many flowers; it's perfect!!
