Geekdom of Chaos

They replaced the flooring with that striped wood that I kind of like. Note that the newel post and railings are original.

They modernized the rooms and gray-scaled them, but the fireplace is still magnificent.

Thank goodness they didn't paint this beauty. Also, they didn't paint the moldings white, which is a real plus.

The dining room gets a lot of light and has wainscoting, but new gray walls just don't look right w/vintage wood. They really messed up the whole Victorian vibe.

Oh, Lawdy, Miss Claudie, what did they do in here? They wanted a Victorian kitchen, but they went a little overboard and the modern flooring and backsplash are throwing the whole thing off. I don't like the gold mesh in the doors, either.

Yowzah! I wonder if the new owner will get these DIY pieces with the house.

Oh, look, they put columns and a chandie on the porch. Fancy.

Damn. They painted the upstairs wood, white. And. look at the way the baseboards curve w/the wall.

2 rounded and angular bedrooms. They're nice. Look at the beautiful Victorian radiators.

Don't put a modern gray room in a Victorian. If buyers want that, let them buy a newer house.

If you're highlighting the original door, why are you making the rest of the room modern gray-scale? (And, why did you paint the wood?)

Okay, this is kind of cute.

Interesting sink choices.

Modern blue tiled shower. Why is there a bathtub faucet in the middle?

This room isn't finished and I would encourage them not to do it.

Same goes for this one. They'll only make it modern and ruin it.

Coming down the back former service stairs.

It's odd that the 2nd bath would be here, in a back hall. Note the painted-over tile, and this is a half bath, so there's only one full and it's a shower room.

The basement. This must be where the washer/dryer goes.

There might be some potential down here.

Lots of parking.

Or, it can be part patio. Nice 2 car garage.

The fenced yard extends way back. Lots of potential.
