Closing Day!!!

15 March... closing day! Despite the snowstorm, we got the keys.... Hurray! An impression of the house on closing day - it has been smoked in, and has not been cleaned for years, if not decades - but we love the potential!

 Front door:

Living room with fire place (carpets and a marble coffee table left behind by the previous owner - the books are all about gardening, as we had told him we are so looking forward to growing food in the yard!):

Dining room... note the beautiful chandelier.

Window in the dining room

Original 1960s kitchen:

With beautiful wallpaper:

Deck off the kitchen. The yard goes to the fence in the back, where there is a creek:

Office/Louise's future room:

Entirely covered in wood paneling (and her desk is already taken care of...):

More beautiful wallpaper - the main bathroom with lovely green shag carpet:

The masterbedroom's ensuite (the blue fixtures are in mint condition):

The master bedroom:

With large closets:

Ian's future room:

And from the other side:

Front entry way:

Our lovely swiss-chalet style basement with high end bar area:

Mid-century modern shelving units:

Apparently, this was once a media center:

Where we found this treasure:

From a painter whose son is a friend of Ward's :)
