It's ours! Of course, it all came down to the wire. The mortgage company tried to hold things up with the underwriters the day before closing, but we stayed firm, as did the sellers, and closing finally happened Friday the 9th. Dave and I met at the title agency's office, and after about 45 minutes and 3" of papers to sign, 931 Camelot became ours.
The construction crew arrives on Tuesday to being demo. Let's do this thing! Here are some starting pictures and some explanations on what's going to happen:
Helllooo, 1968, and goodbye kitchen. Bye, bye dropped ceiling and fluorescent lighting. I'm fairly certain the cabinets are vintage late 60's and have been painted over and over. The paint is so thick in places that it's peeling off (you can see this under the counter in the desk area, bottom right). The best part of this room is that it's got a pantry. Holla!
Another shot of the kitchen. The wall that the cabinets and desk are on is getting taken out and we'll construct a bar in this area. Beyond that door is the dining room, and we're taking out 2 more walls that frame it. Essentially, when these 3 walls are removed we'll have a huge open space. Great for parties!
A shot of the appliances. Check out the vintage stove combo by Tappan. Is Tappan still even in business? I feel like we should donate that thing once it's removed. Alani in the background is still perplexed as to what's going on.
A view of the family room. The long white wall in the middle of the picture is the major wall being removed. The bookshelves along the far wall are being removed, as is the paneling on all 4 walls (to be replaced by drywall). The flooring in here is parquet, and it'll be sanded, re-finished and sealed. I have always adored parquet floors!
Looking at the dining room from the entry foyer. The short wall on the left side, as well as the 2 red walls you see in the picture are being knocked out. Anyone want a chandelier? That thing is definitely going too!
