Couch was finally delivered!.. Really ties the room together…

[Black Orchid]

Looking great @Seul a real
Cosy corner with pig taking pride of place, of course [emoji4]

[FOXY]

^^ when you said that it ties the room together you should have skipped the last picture…

[Seul]

What would you change, FOX?..

[BloodnThunder]

Obviously the pig on the TV stand is really what ties the room together.

[FOXY]

The 2 chairs in the front and the improvised couch table should be swapped with something else over time - liking the rest!

[Seul]

That table is going asap!.. First thing I bought, luckily I only spent 19€ on it 

The chairs… Meh... They're comfy and cheap... In the long run I'll try and pick up something more fitting though...

This house in the Mojave Desert recently sold. The agent hasn't revealed whether the new owner is Blofeld! :o

[Clint_D]

Okay, here goes, been putting this off for a long time because I feel like my house will never officially be "done."

First off, I'm going to combine this with the favorite beer thread:

Here's my 1939 East Austin home which is a 10 minute walk from downtown.  I purchased it from the original owner/builder who lived in the house until the ripe old age of 95.  I finished a complete remodel April of 2014.

Now, for the interior (all 1,100 square feet of it):

Simple, yet convenient galley style kitchen

Kitchen, entry:

Guest bath:

Guest bedroom/living room with sleeper sofa:

Stairway:

Living room/office:

Master bedroom:

Master Bath:

We've got a pretty substantial list of things we'd like to do including:

Rear Deck
Metal/Cedar fencing
Water feature
Garage Apartment on top of detached garage

Wow, looks great! Thanks for sharing.

[Bluegrass]

Fantastic!  And done, what's that?  Homes are never done… but yours is pretty damn awesome! Love it all, esp. the sliding door, staircase,bathtub...... what a transformation.

Goes with the small house crazy that is sweeping the usa. Looks great, very warm & charming. Thanks for sharing

[Aetas]

Cheers @Clint_D and thanks.
Great progress if one compares to your Reply #31.

[Graeme]

That's a nice place you've got there @Clint_D. I'm a fan of relatively small, quirky houses, so it's right up my metaphorical street.

And if you want to follow the previous episodes in the saga:

• Before

• At the start of the renovation

• Early progress

• Floors and walls laid

• Close to completion

• Allegedly complete, until a bunch more jobs are found

It's like the forum's own version of Grand Designs. We just need someone to make snarky comments, and see Clint battling disasters during the build.

[Giles]

Clint.  I LOVE that.  Very, very well executed…..

[Seul]

That is crazy cool dude!..

[Broark]

Now I know what house to look for in Austin next time I want to egg or TP one!
Just kidding, I like what you guys did with it! Plus it doesn't look like all those new cookie-cutter designer homes popping up on the East Side. Has some originality and soul. Good work.

[Clint_D]

Thanks for all the kind words!  It's been a lot of blood, sweat, tears and money along the way.

[Appfaff]

Awesome Place @Clint_D !  You should be proud of how it's turned out! My parents live in a 1923 spanish-colonial (kind of an oxymoron I know) and they never seem to be close to finished with projects lol.  Seeing you pics makes me miss the classic homes in Texas.

Hope you enjoy it!

[Graeme]

@Clint_D's renovations are inspiring me to do something of my own. Unfortunately, as @Snowy will attest, this is the reality of the real estate market in Sydney and Melbourne!
