Bought a house out in the Sultan/Startup are of Washington State back at the end of February. The origianl part of the house was built back in 1961 with a "Great Room" (diningroom and livingroom) and daylight basement built in '75 from what I can tell.
The previous owners of 9 years hardly did anything with the house or started something and never finished.
There was no texture on any of the walls or ceilings of the house.
In the three bedrooms, there is 2x6 cedar planks on the exterior walls. (great for my dust collection)
The master bath was this little room that had no sheetrock on the walls and one layer of subfloor. They had the tub, toilet, a beautiful pedistal sink just laying in the area. No wall between the bedroom and "bathroom". I took a week of "vacation" from the office and built the bathroom.
The kitchen cabinets were painted a "beautiful" mint green. After finding an old photograph that was taken in the kitchen, we decided to do some experimenting. We decided to strip and sand all the cabinets. We found benieth the two layers of paint a beautiful pine veneer finish on all of the cabinets. Talking about a total change over.
I'm still working on different projects but it is a fun and challengin process to turn the house into "our home"
