And so it begins

So we were looking for a fixer. We'd sold our too-tiny house too quickly, and were getting anxious about living in a low-rent version of the Residence Inn. I thought we'd have to settle. I really wanted and hoped to find something you would've seen in a fifties issue of Sunset Magazine, Josh wanted more grassy space to tax his push mower and a view from the patio. Then we saw it. Sure, it had holes in the carpet, the walls were scary colors matched only by the freakishly wallpapered kitchen ceiling...but it was all there. The walnut paneling, pink bathrooms, original kitchen everything (maybe a little too original!), plus a really authentic bar in the basement. Straight out of Sunset Magazine, 1955.
Pictures to come.....
