Yesterday, I spent about three hours vacuuming, sweeping, and cleaning the house. Unfortunately, the previous owner did not do much cleaning on his way out! He left random junk scattered around, some of which is actually kind of nice to have (like a decent stationary exercise bike) but other stuff which is kind of annoying and now we have to get rid of (like some gross food in the fridge). Nevertheless, it is exciting to get in the house, and I considered all the cleaning a labor of love.
I was able to get some decent pictures of the inside of the house.
The floor plan:
The living room – this is the room you first enter as you walk in the front door:
The kitchen – the oven and stove are on the other side of the fridge. The sliding doors on the left lead outside to a nice deck with some benches in the backyard (I didn’t think to take a picture of that – oops!). The curtains are closed for the sake of taking the picture, but when they are open, sunlight fills the room.
Looking from the kitchen into the family room. Again, there is so much sunlight in this room when the blinds are open!
Bedroom 1 – This is the smallest of the bedrooms. Though you wouldn’t guess from the picture, it is actually nice and bright – the paint is not as dark as it looks in the picture, and it gets a lot of sunlight. Might turn this into my office.
Bedroom 2 – This room, though it looks rather bright and cheery, is actually much darker than it looks in the picture, and doesn’t get much sunlight. I am a big fan of sunlight.
The master bedroom – this picture makes the room look small, because I am standing in the closet taking the picture, but it goes further to the left and is the largest of the bedrooms. I like the window – the kind you can sit in and curl up with a good book. This room gets decent sunlight when the blinds are open.
The main bathroom. This has been remodeled and is pretty nice. (I didn’t bother taking a picture of the other bathroom, because it is definitely in need of an upgrade. It will be one of our remodeling projects in the future.)
