Before Pictures

Since closing has been delayed until next week (& we didn't have anything else to do today), we decided to go take some before pictures of our townhouse. We're in the process of buying a better camera, and I wanted to wait until then, but I also really wanted some before pictures on the blog. I figured that way, we can really get a good idea of what all needs to be done.

The house is about 1700 square feet. It has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on two floors. As well as a small backyard and garage.

The view from the street. Our garage, mailbox, and front door. 

This is the "front porch" area. The patio door in the sitting room opens to this lovely view.

The Sitting Room and front door, as seen from the kitchen.

One half of the kitchen.

The other side of the kitchen.

Half of the great room on the first floor; this half will serve as a living room.

The hallway from the living room to the front door.

The other half of the great room that will serve as a dining room.

The downstairs half-bath aka. the scariest bathroom ever.

The hallway between 3 bedrooms at the top of the stairs.

The master bedroom.

The 2nd bedroom/office.

The 3rd Bedroom

Bathroom #1... (Ew.)

And Bathroom #2... and its EdgarAllenPoe-style decor.

FYI. The paint jobs only appear half way decent.

There is paint everywhere.

Baseboards, ceilings, carpet, laminate.

Oh! And the laminate downstairs is Costo-grade, and covered with bubbles due to water warping.

We can't figure out what kind of people lived here before, but decorating/painting/cleaning was not their forte.

We have a lot of projects ahead of us, but every time we walk through, it only makes us more excited to get started on renovating.
