We have still not closed on our house but, the listing has moved to pending which means it’s 100% accepted and in process.
When I left my last house I thought the only room I was going to miss was the third floor bathroom. (shown below) I am sure I blogged about it somewhere. I was in loved with the claw foot tub. Actually these tubs are hard to find still in homes, as many people ripped them out to install a more modern tub shower combination.
our old house's 3rd floor bathroom
Fast forward to the bathroom in our new house, and I still get a vintage tube, only it’s on a pedestal. More of an Art Deco look. I will adjust. The floor is small white (really filthy white) octagon tiles. Original to the date of the house. A few are missing I am hoping to be able to replace them and keep the original floor
Here’s another view of the before bathroom below : showing the tiles, the pedestal, and the part of an rather ugly sink.
There is paint on the glass part of the window, actually paint is everywhere which I hope to be removing and replacing with something more appealing. Remember we are doing all this work on a shoe-string budget. So I may be limited in my choices. We want to fix everything, make it appealing to live in, and then eventually either sell or keep as a rental.
At least that’s the plan at the moment. I really like the house, and yard, and may not want to leave once we are finished. Only time will tell.
