Bargain House Progress: Living Room

The living room of Bargain House is now finished. The flooring is all down, with trim boards painted and installed for the floor and windows.


Of course the sawhorses are not part of the décor, and will not be sold with the house. I think I heard you gasp at the picture. Indeed, I am flabbergasted as well, relying on Hick's statement that "The house is ready to list." Maybe he thought that hanging the questionable artwork made it ready.

I do like the curved ceiling in here, with the original swirl pattern. It's different. Not a cookie-cutter ceiling. There's some retro vibe going on. The front door is to the left of that window. This looks like The Pony took this picture by standing in the door of the small bathroom.

Are you ready for more clutter? Here's the other end of the living room:


It takes a lot of bits and pieces to overhaul a whole house. That window looks out on the side street where Hick parks SilverRedO. There's the entry to the kitchen. Looks like Hick has installed a throne for himself here, to watch Old Buddy work, heh, heh.

Hick stands by his statement that the house is ready to list with a real estate agency. He scoffs when I say that nobody wants to look at a house all cluttered with tools. "Val. A good two hours will get everything cleaned out." Well, then. I say it's time to spend two hours doing that! If, indeed, Bargain House is completely finished.
