How It Used To Be

Besides the old people smell, the house was dated and had a lot of ugly going on. There was disintegrating carpet, floral borders and brass floral light fixtures. The basement was a 70’s wet dream; knotty pine paneling, orange shag carpet, mirrored bar and dead animal pelts hung strategically. The shower was accessed from a separate room and featured a fan directly in the stall as well as brown water.


The front room was okay, just needed some paint and the removal of the lace doily curtains.


The dining room was plain. Again needed simple updates including a new light fixture.

And the back room, with the great windows.

Overall the house was plain, a little dated but with good bones (or so we thought). Hardwood floors throughout and a massive backyard were some of the best features of the house. So began our adventure in home ownership.
