House Tour: Living Room Before

In September of 2003…

Notice the one tiny radiator for this big room.
Don’t you just love the thermal drapes- too short on the big tripple window, way too long on the itty-bitty square windows. Classy.
And the disproportionately small gas fireplace.
But, overall, not bad, right? At the time, I thought we would just paint, clean, and I would move in. Boy, was I wrong.

House Tour: Entry Before

In September 2003…

…the screen door that opened oposite from the (not original) front door, the mailbox that was mounted too high for somone only 5’4″ to reach the bottom…

…the inside of the front door, complete with no less than 3 types of ill-fitting “drapes”, including pinch-pleated thermals on the sidelights, ’cause you know how drafty those non-operable windows can be…

…yes, people, that is gen-u-ine stick on “texture” on that transom…

…now, that banister looks better today, but it was still pretty even then…

…and say goodbye to that natty tan carpet.
