this is some awesome bathroom tiling.

I fell into imgur and discovered a whole bunch of pictures that i found amusing

Dispatches from the world of secret rooms:

• This is really kinda creepy, and someone destroyed much of the evidence.
• This one is amusing, though.
• Awesome: Victorian era kitchen - untouched for decades - found by home renovators

No idea. Someone found the pic online and pasted it to an IRC channel I hang out on.

I gotta agree with rob here. That fuckin' seriously freaked me out.

I hope they swabbed everything before it burned to check for DNA matches. (Aaaand, I just creeped myself out further.)

The other pics are awesome though!

I started reading about the found victorian kitchen, and wondered, "how the hell do you lose a room, not a hidden room, but a huge ass room large enough to roast a whole pig and seat 20 staff around a table?"

I gotta say, if you don't know, more or less, what's in every room of your house, your house is too big. If there's parts of your house you haven't been in for a year, it's too big.

I suppose if I had millions of billions of dollars, and I inherited a big old mansion, and the money to pay the taxes was pocket change, and I was busy with another house and work and other stuff I cared about more, that I could have a house with mystery rooms in it, but I'd still take a weekend sometime in the first year or so to go and look at ... everything. But maybe that's because I care about buildings and think they're neat.

I wouldn't have called that building "stately" or even "Victorian", it looks kinda concrete and modern(ish) to me.

That is indeed one awesome tiling job, but after a day of grout-sealing I'll go with "look but don't touch" :-). Though I guess if you can afford that tiling, you can also afford to pay someone else for maintenance.
