U.K. House Hunters Flood Britain’s Leading Listing Site

British house hunters have flooded the U.K.’s largest real estate site with 1.3 million inquiries in the last five weeks, as the British general election has given the country a heavy dose of political and economic certainty, according to a report from the site, Rightmove.

English Country Home Where Artist Augustus John, His Wife (and His Mistress) Lived Asks £1.375M

The English country home where Bohemian Welsh artist Augustus John defied Victorian respectability by living in a “throuple” with two women at the turn of the 20th century has hit the market in Essex, England. It was in this 160-year-old brick cottage, known as Elm House, that John, an important figure in British post-impressionism, lived at the same time with his first wife, artist Ida John, and his mistress and muse, Dorelia McNeill—an unconventional setup in thrilling defiance of the moralistic attitudes of the time. The property, which recent owners have since transformed into a modern family home, hit the market before the holidays asking £1.375 million...

Developer target local buyers with condos under $50k

Condominiums are arguably the hottest type of real estate in Cambodia. Less than a decade ago, however, there were only a few condo projects in the capital. Most of them were geared toward expat clientele. Now, over a decade later, a new trend is emerging as Cambodia’s middle class are pushing the demand for property ownership. Ouk Chandaravuth, Sale & Marketing Director for Seven Residence Co Ltd, has seen first-hand the growing desire for condo ownership among Cambodians. Daravuth said that, previously, there was a gap in the market as the demand for property ownership grew among locals. Condos, he said, are meeting that new demand. In fact, growing demand for condo...

Haint blue porch ceilings

Porch ceilings throughout the marshy, coastal Lowcountry—stretching from northern Georgia to Charleston, South Carolina—are drenched in “haint blue,” a centuries-old Gullah Geechee spiritual tradition meant to stop evil spirits from entering a home and wreaking havoc. Descendents of slaves brought from Central and West Africa in the 18th century, the Gullah were forced to work the Lowcountry’s rice and indigo plantations. In their isolation, the enslaved were able to maintain a number of spiritual practices from their homelands. Rituals revolved around minkisi (animating everyday objects with the power to heal or harm), conjuring spells, and confronting...

Beautiful 300-yr-old churches made entirely out of wood without any nails

Lake Onega ― on the very brink of Northern Europe ― is sprinkled with more than 1,600 tiny islands. It is the second largest lake in Europe, located in northern Russia, between Lake Ladoga and the White Sea. While most of these islands are uninhabited and have little to show apart from stunning nature, one of them holds a true wonder and a real gem of cultural heritage. On the island of Kizhi, there is a 300-year-old Orthodox Christian complex, known as Kizhi Pogost (meaning enclosed cemetery), which includes two adjoining churches and an octagonal bell tower ― all made entirely out of wood. Although both of the churches were built in the 18th century, the bell tower was actually...

Family tired of paying £23,000 in rent a year build their own tiny home and travel the world

A family fed up of paying thousands on rent each year have done what we all fantasise about and built their own house. Now they get to travel the world by renting out that tiny home to tourists. Genius. Bela Fishbeyn, 34, and Spencer Wright, 32, worked out that they were throwing around £23,000 just to rent a home with their daughter Escher Kamalova, three. Four years ago Spencer was working full-time while Bela worked in an office four days a week. They were tired, rundown, and working hard just to spend the majority of their money on rent. While most of us just despair over the reality of renting, Bela and Spencer chose to make a change – and they say anyone can do the...

Oyo Hotels Cutting 20% Of India Staff, 65,000 Rooms Vanish From Website

Just over seven months ago, India’s Oyo Hotels proclaimed itself the world’s third largest hotel. Now the Softbank-backed startup is cutting headcount in its home market by around one-fifth, as it struggles for profitability.
