Who wants a House Tour? Lots of PsIP!

[house]

This our short sale house! We haven't signed anything yet. Waiting for the house to be dewinterized to get inspection done on Thursday. I can hardly wait! But I have to wait. The room the fireplace is in needs new floor. Right now its old retro vinyl with sharp tack strips left from carpet removal.

LR

Entrance is on far right:

DR:



when you go up the steps from the kitchen, you pass this hallway bathroom

Then enter MBR on left

Master bath room (located behind the hallway bathroom)


Across from the hallway bathroom is this little bedroom

Guest bedroom end of hallway on right.

When you go down the steps from the LR, you enter this room
This will be our TV/family/play room. Note the steps going up in the right corner? It leads to the garage which is behind the right wall of this room. This is the room that needs new floor before we can move in.


There are more rooms not pictured. There is a laundry room on the left soon as you come down the steps on the left.

The chair and the piano is in a nook like area which I have no idea what to do with. Then you can still go downstairs to a laundry room
with W/D hookup. The upstairs one has no hook up so IDK whats going on there. There is also another room downstairs in the basement which I plan on making my sewing room.

That's all the pics folks!

Pour away your suggestions please! We won't start upgrading right away on everything but definitely the family room. Since there are no windows in this room, we are thinking about putting light colored laminate wood flooring. First we thought about carpet but I have allergies, plus two dogs and a baby so we think it will be easier to clean if it isn't carpet.

Cool!

But girl, don't get too attached to it yet. I know you're excited but short sales can be unpredictable. I don't want you having a broken heart if this one falls through.

LOL! Yeah I know. That's why I am slacking the packing process. But then the shit will hit the fan because I will be rushing to get everything packed. Then my ILs are coming to help us out. FIL will be helping my DH with the floor. MIL is very organized and I am not. She stresses me out cuz I feel the pressure to be perfect but I am sure I fail miserably. Ha ha.

DH already took me to Lowes to pick floor samples last weekend and I am overwhelmed with the choices. We haven't even gotten the inspection done yet but he says once all those paper works are done, we will have two weeks to get the floor in! Ugh, talk about pressure!

how do you dewinterize a house? I live in the frozen north and have never heard of such a thing.

[house]

Nothing special really. Apparently they shut off all water supply and turned the electricity off for winter. House was vacant during that time. So they "winterized" by turning off everything. For inspection everything has to be running. Just talked to REA. He is waiting to hear back from the other REA.

WOW - what a beauty! I am crossing my fingers for you - I love all the space. And that basement room is totally cool.

Thanks everyone! I will keep you posted on how things turn out.
