It's all in the details.
Some days I am quite sure I know why we bought this house.
Other days, as I am vaccuuming yet more dirt from the floors, or brushing plaster dust from my clothing, or washing my 4th set of dishes that day, I think...
What did we SEE in this place?
Okay. Okay. It was the location (in A's old neighborhood near his parents and near our church). It was the neighbors...awesome. It was the "flow" of the house...very nice. And it was the details. They obviously blinded us to all else.
The built-in cabinets>...(click on a picture to make it larger)
Unpainted doors, lots of six-over-six windows and most of the trim:
There were things like the doorknobs and the front hall tile:
Small windows in odd places...the stained glass windows (which the PO reluctantly left behind) that SHOULD be on either side of the fireplace and the nice little Hoosier cabinet in the kitchen:
And yes, a 6'7" husband means that higher than average ceilings on all 3 floors were a "plus". And there were the raftertails and the kneewalls outside...
Okay. So EVERYTHING ELSE IS DIRTY OR BROKEN AND FALLING OFF. But those details...THUMBS UP! No doubt...sigh.
