House Tour ~ Before Part 2

I will warn you that the photos of the top and bottom floors are quite boring but they are necessary for the sake of documentation.  These floors are examples of a DIY disaster.

LANDING

CRAFT ROOM

UPPER BEDROOM

BASEMENT

To give you an idea of what you are looking at the basement is made up of 7 thrown together rooms (8 if you count the makeshift kitchen area). The previous owner seemed to have a method of finding a scrap piece of wood or building material and haphazardly screwing it up here or there. Not one single square inch of downstairs has been finished properly. The same rings true on the top floor. More on this phenomenon later.

The basement is definitely our diamond in the rough (with rough capitalized in bold and underlined a few times)! I envision a beautiful 1 bedroom basement suite in our future though. First I need to track down Scott McGillivray from Income Property and HGTV Canada ;)

House Tour ~ Before Part 1

OK folks here is what you've all been waiting for........some (or lots of) photos of our new humble abode!!

These were all taken about half an hour after we were given the keys and I'd a chance to do some exploring. What you see here is how we first laid our eyes on our new home. There wasn't as much garbage left behind as we thought there would be, but the house definitely hadn't been cleaned. Everything was covered in years of grime. Because of this, I refrained from hugging the floors right away ;)

OUTSIDE & DECK



KITCHEN

LIVING ROOM & HALLWAY

DINING ROOM

MAIN FLOOR BEDROOM & STAIRS

BATHROOM

Some of these photos aren't the greatess but I was excited and wanted to start getting my hands dirty (literally).

I will share Part 2 of the bungalow tour including photos of the upstairs and the basement in the next few days! As well as what we ripped the first day of being at the new house.

Does anyone have any guesses??
