Sometimes old houses are like a box of chocolates ...

I was tempted to write about tons of other things, like my heavy heart these days when I love being here so much, or about how proud I am of my children, not only of how they handle the preparations for the move, like getting "their" house ready for sale and figuring out what stuff we can already sell in order to unclutter the house, but also how much they've learned already this school year and how creative and selfconfident they are. 
Well, but like I promised, I will not keep you guys waiting any longer and will jump right to the fun stuff:
the outdated, shaggy, 70's style look of the interior of this old house.
But, wait, one more thing. I am not sure how interested anybody is into floor plans, but I am going to throw them in anyway, just so the layout gets a little bit clearer.
Here is the first floor:
Top is the street, on the upper left is the dining room, upper right is kitchen,
then entrance from the left, hallway (stairs that lead upstairs), and tiny bathroom,
then under that comes kind of a foyer room (when you turn right, right after you enter the house), to its right is what could be a master bedroom,
the new addition to the house has white walls: on the bottom left is the living room and bottom right the master bath (not a bedroom like they drew it in the plan)
From the living room you could exit onto a little balcony.

The top level looks as follows:


on the top would be the road again.
to the top left is a smaller bedroom, on the top right it sais "Kueche", which means kitchen in German, but it rather another bedroom, even though it has a terrible vanity inside, that you are about to see in just a minute.
In the middle is the upstairs hallway and the stairs, then to the right a little bathroom, with as of now just a dwarf-sized bathtub and a toilet.
Bottom shows the biggest of the three bedrooms upstairs, with possible space for walk-in-closets on either side. Right now those rather big spaces are only acessible from the hallway through tiny little wooden doors.
On the plan it shows a balcony, but after they added the living room and master bathroom on the first floor, this balcony turned into a rather big roof top terrace!!!

the addition to the house, window on the left is the foyer, window to the right is living room



How about this vanity in a bedroom style room upstairs complete with plush carpet and wooden built-ins (too bad you can't see the tacky "beauty in the bathtub poster, one of her breasts sneaking out of the bubble bath ;) that is taped discretely behind one of the countless doors)?
And you gotta love the panelling and the wallpaper!!! There is more little doors towards the left wall that has the window facing the street.

  1. Interesting style of bathroom furniture!
    Keep it or remove it?
    Hard to decide.
