New House!

As most of you know we closed on our townhouse in Pennsylvania.  Here are photos of the place without any furniture.

This is our front living room.

I don't love the lace curtains that they left on the windows (left).  I'll try to find another use for the fabric.

Living room closet, and yes the door is really just that dirty.  I don't think the prior owners tried to clean the house too much.

The tile in front of the door is not my favorite.  It may have looked nice with carpet, but not with the fake wood floor that they put in.

Here is the dining room area with more lace curtains.

View into kitchen from the living room.  The red walls are oh-so red.

Yes, this fake wood flooring is different than the living room area.

Our pantry.  It needs a good cleaning for sure.

Here is our main level half bath.

That baby blue paint needs to go, along with most of the other paint in the house.

Here is our back deck off of the main level.

I emptied out the ice maker and Charlie had lots of fun throwing the ice off of the deck.

Here is our shed down below.  You can only get to the back yard from the downstairs back door.

Our backyard is pretty much just a hill.  We want to do something fun with it.

Stairs going up.  This picture makes the old carpet look really dark.

Upstairs bathroom.

Master bedroom.

Closet.

Second bedroom upstairs.  The paint job is absolutely the worst in this bedroom.

The only carpet in the house is on the stairs and on the landings of the stairs and the master's closets.

The stairs to our basement.

Unfinished room in basement.

The third room in the house is in the basement.  Oh, well I guess that has carpet too, but we probably won't go down here very often since it will probably be the office.

The prior owners really had some interesting ideas about paint in their house.

Laundry area in the basement.  Yea, now I get to walk from the top floor all the way to the basement to do laundry now...  Not my favorite part of the home.

Although the house is definitely not my dream home (we already have that, why would we need two?) there is a lot of potential here for a good rental property.  It is in a great area and the work on the house isn't too major.  We are pretty stoked to have a second home.
