Well, new to us anyway. Built in 1981. Came with custom painted rooms through out...hot pink, burnt orange, white with free-handed lavender polka dots, etc... Oh, and not to mention the lovely periwinkle shade they decided to paint parts of the brick and the pink-ish maroon on the outside of the house. I (we) see through all of the ugliness straight through to it's potential beauty. Like I mentioned previously, this home was a HUD (I can't say enough how I DO NOT recommend this). It was a steal for the neighborhood (By far the ugliest house in the whole neighborhood) and has GREAT potential to be profitable if we do a lot of the work/the market turns around/we are smart with our renovation spending. The work began immediately. As if my workday wasn't long and stressful enough, I headed right on over to the house to work for 4 hours with Grant and I am oh-so proud to be able to say that the entire upstairs is POPCORN FREE!
You can see in the photo how it just peels right off the ceiling. We actually misted it with water and let it sit for a few minutes, came back with a scraper and voila!
More interior photos to come as our new little diamond in the rough is unveiled.
