I feel better now, don’t you?
First on your list should be a kitchen and at least one bathroom that feel clean and comfortable to you.They should be updated enough that you can just move right in and use them, even if they’re ugly.
You’ll also need a laundry room that you can use right away and somewhere cleanish and dry that you can store all of your stuff.Look at the foundation of the house, the structure, and the roof.If these things are “move in ready” then the rest of the ugliness can be taken care of over time.
We had to walk away from a huuuuge beautiful house with 6 bedrooms, amazing fireplaces and original woodwork because the kitchens and bathrooms were really nasty and a new roof was needed right away.We realistically would not have been able to get it up and running any time soon.
Plus there were some weird cat/rat things running around all over the place and that was kind of concerning.
Walking away from that one allowed us to find this house though: Not quite as well-preserved in all of the rooms, but with a 10 year old kitchen and bathroom, and in the perfect location for us.Now I have a perfect pair of slightly-Summery, but really actually good for any season, snazzy little pillows!.
Perfect for this transitional Summer-to-Fall time we’re in now.Again, Spell-check, thanks for nothin.. –>Happy long weekend, Everyone!
Hope you’re all having a superbly great one!.I wanted to show you these pictures I took near our house the other day while Chris and I were on a bike ride.
