THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY

 The Good...


- The old metal windows
- Hardwood floors throughout


- Fireplace wall flanked by little windows
    - Glass doorknobs 


- 9' ceilings
-  Arches


The Bad...
- Kitchen!


The Ugly...
 - Refrigerator nook!



I know these pictures are hard to look at 
but you have to understand that I see potential in everything.


This house was built in 1932 
 The updating through the years was limited to the kitchen... 
2 layers of flooring ( over hardwood )
 6 layers of wallpaper with it's coordinating coats of paint on the trim
 and upper cabinet doors
 The rest of the house has been left untouched
 no carpet! or 70's paneling!
 We realize the work ahead of us but that is exactly what we wanted. 
 After years of working on houses that belong to other people
 I am thrilled to finally put all my creative energy into this house.
