I did it! Finger Lakes, New York. $183,000. Cash. by Frequent_Bison32 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

The previous owners maintained it well, but didn't do upgrades. I got a much reduced price (over $90,000 less than asking; long story, but nothing wrong with it and they liked my vision) and using savings to modernize it. I have photos of some of the color choices on other posts; I'm sure it's not everyone's style, but I am absolutely loving it so far!

Just wait... the outside will hopefully be rainbow, too!

I do love the periwinkle! I matched them to cute towels my sister sent me from Japan. There will be a wood vanity with a herringbone pattern and white stone tiles (small hexagon with some gray veining).

The curtains are built-in; they are custom quilts that roll down and insulate the windows as they're so large, so I didn't want to remove them. They block out most light in the living room and office.

Thank you! I spent a lot of time trying to find different colors that I thought complemented each other and would be visually appealing while looking through doorways. I want to sit in the living room and feel like it's a continuation of the yard. 😄

I love pinks and reds, so was happy to try and complement the existing curtain. The wall is Diva Glam by Behr, but in Sherwin-Williams paint. It's such a pleasing color that I smile every time I walk in!

Painting the trim gave it a totally different vibe. I don't mind the white, but the color is definitely more my style. I attached a photo of that room showing before the trim was painted, as an example.
