Granma House

This is it: my future abode. After a bath and a little paint, it'll be quite livable. It reminds me a lot of Granma's house. They lived in a green house (shingle siding) with big front porch, and (with the exception of the second story) the floor plan is almost identical, just flip-flopped. The front half of the house is 70-80 years old, with an addition behind that came along in the 70's. The kitchen is still harvest gold (thank goodness it wasn't avocado) but has a newish stainless ceramic top stove and a stainless fridge. OK, I guess I can pretend the sink is stainless until I have the ka-ching to update the kitchen.

Half of the interior rooms are painted scarlet red with white trim (that's going away first thing). A couple of rooms are bright blue, and one is blue & white with red trim. It's an odd layout, mostly due to the addition, with little rooms and cubby-holes tucked away here and there.

Owner said move in whenever. We can live there until our house sells, then buy it. How can we pass that up?

Then I look at the mess in this house..... Moving sale? I think it would be easier to just load up the dumpster and be done with it.

After the day was done, we made a quick stop by Aunt Jo's house. Oh, my goodness, her living room & dining room are gorgeous! She has graciously offered to help me spruce up the Granma house. After seeing what she can do with a hammer and nails.... she may regret that offer!
