I was expecting this to be about software customization, but I guess not.

BTW, what is that on the wall below the desk on the 2nd picture? I'm not even sure how to describe it. It looks like a cat door with 4 mini laundry baskets stacked on one another and like a plastic bag in a hole on the top. What is that?



Victorian (probably) bedroom coal fireplace that's been painted over. There's even a few hearth tiles still in front of it.

It looks like an old fashioned natural gas heater? My grandmas house had something very similar, it was like a little decorated alcove with an open natural gas flame in it. The bag at the top probably covers what used to be an old vent or something?
