The beginning of the befores

I feel it is my duty to post some before photos of the house, hopefully not too shortly to be followed by some during, and then after photos.

It is especially good to put these photos in because this house has presented us with some pretty special before material. As I've previously mentioned the 70's has reigned supreme in our little Victorian place. Its so extreme that, in some parts done properly I think it would actually be pretty cool. Unfortunately 3 odd years of sitting empty hasn't done it any favours. Its going to be so satisfying stripping it back to basics though.......

My favourite, the lime green and flowery brown kitchen.

 

Downstairs, sitting room, through the kitchen doorway (with Bella and Finn having their first investigation!) and the lovely aqua and black bathroom, sadly the wall paper of this room is out of the shot.

A rather narrow staircase, with head room up to about my chin. Upstairs, a shot from the largest room, showing two areas of further wall paper, and the plastic floor coverings. Oh, and an example of some very interesting wiring, we've yet to contend with.

And last for today, another of the second bedroom, somewhere under the yellow TV cabinet is one of the 5/6 rumoured fireplaces!

Can't wait to get stuck into turning this place into the beautiful home it should be.
