Offer went sour...new offer today on another house!

Our offer on the house below went a bit sour...we told her we were not ok with the changes she made and did not counter.  Meanwhile, we looked at another home and put an offer in on that...sort of...verbal only...the woman was camping and did not want to be bothered?  Geez...anyway ...our new realtor seems awesome and would actually be our neighbor if we got this new home.  This house has quite a bit to fix...but the price is right and there is a lot of character.  We will know more on Monday or early next week.  Someone is looking at the home tomorrow ...with our luck they will put in an offer and that will be that...as ours will be a "creative" offer and no one likes those as well as a good old fashioned regular offer to purchase with conventional loan....It odd when I told everyone that after the 29th I am no longer looking for homes until Spring when school is out...and then we have had so much action that last couple weeks....I am exhausted.
 This is a really quaint bathroom upstairs...wouldnt change much in here...love it!
 This is a "before" picture...when we get done with it it will be an awesome art studio for me...
 This will be part of the Master Bedroom
 We would extend the front porch to wrap around the house...
 This is the ugly room upstairs that was a kitchen that would become our Master closet and Master Bath..

 We will only have one other bedroom upstairs...unless you count the 'walk up' as a bedroom...which we would...for resale...if we ever move!
 the worlds most narrow stairway ever...guess I cant get too much heavier or I wont be able to get up the stairs! We may widen it to the right and open the stairwell with pretty railings into the living room...we'll see....something needs to be done...its kind of awful....
 This will be part of the master we think...and we would add a built in desk under the windows...
 Another shot of the master...
 Yet another shot of Master..
 This would be the formal living room...
 This would be the family room...where the boob tube would be...
 This is the view from formal dining room to the family room..
 Needs some work but has a working fireplace in dining room....


 Anothe view of the room we would be adding to the master bedroom...

 Back of house...kind of plain now...but will have the addition on to it...so it will look different someday..





window needs work.....but Tim says he can make it look line new!
So, here is the house.  It is traditional Victorian.  We will be combining rooms upstairs to make a bigger master...adding a master bath and master closet where an upstairs kitchen now is....the ugly walk up attic would become my beautiful art studio...(with work)....and we would add an addition off the back of the house making the kitchen bigger (and an eat in) ....with a large pantry and adding a mud room/laundry and bigger bathroom off the back on the other side of the kitchen. We would be adding a wood burning fireplace to the family room.   Stuff to do for sure...but I still love it....it is very homey...I could live here!  We shall see in a few days what happens....
