The bathroom wasn't finished. I can't imagine someone "flipping" a house and leaving a pink tub from 1956.<br /><br />2. the cabinets in the kitchen also seemed original to the home and they had wallpaper on them. If someone was flipping for a profit, they would have taken the wallpaper off the cabinets and replaced them-- or at least put new hardware on them.<br /><br />3.The floors in the kitchen were pretty horrible as well. I think a flipper would have put in new laminate or slate flooring.<br /><br />I think this was a home someone legitamly lived in, but they took the extra time to have it staged after they moved out. Smart choice, I think.<br /><br />LBLizzieBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402721970584240692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723766935394103339.post-70263204732286865302011-01-27T22:54:15.100-05:002011-01-27T22:54:15.100-05:00The house looks nice.

Would be a deal breaker for us. Could be me, but it feels like a flip. Maybe it's the staging or maybe it seems like there was alot of cosmetic work done, but not major projects (like bathroom tile). May want to see how long the current owner has owned it for and what was paid for it. Wouldn't want to see you overpay for minor improvements.<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723766935394103339.post-77068904972144486352011-01-25T22:16:27.638-05:002011-01-25T22:16:27.638-05:00This one's a cutie!

So clearly I made that happen in the new house. But bead board! I love it...and it's a nice size kitchen. <br /><br />Hmmm, I wonder if you guys have already made a decision and are going to bring us up to date on the process. Or is this in real-time and you're still looking...hmm..I'm so nosy, I wanna knowwwwwww.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474285938941511637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723766935394103339.post-62599179307321701812011-01-25T13:54:04.737-05:002011-01-25T13:54:04.737-05:00Looks promising!

For ...I agree with Kim, the bathroom is adorable! <br /><br />For us though, an unhappy kitchen and garage situation would be dealbreakers... I got lucky with my tiny kitchen and realized I actually like it better than my old huge kitchen (as long as the Mr. stays the hell out when I'm cooking, grr.) But our garage is narrow and he's miserable. We thought it would be no problem to just throw up a fancy garage, we've got four acres and spend $100,000 less than originally planned, but now all the architects are saying the land is too steep and it's gonna costs $10,000 just to pour the foundation and footing for it... <br /><br />You may think you can live with something or fix it, but that's not always the case.Oona Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951594171079633931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723766935394103339.post-45130454487853841402011-01-24T17:55:51.670-05:002011-01-24T17:55:51.670-05:00I really like this one.
