Two Owners Ago

2009 listing pictures. What I found most curious is that the couple we bought the house from appeared to do absolutely nothing to it during the three and a half years they owned it. It's as if they kept it as a time capsule to these owners.

Exterior:

We're far less patriotic than two owners ago: the eagle is gone and we don't have a flag out:
(but it gives me hope that we can actually get a green lawn this year...)


Basement:

Dollhouse?

(Although the curved sofa is some kind of 1980s awesome sauce I could have decorated around.)


First Floor/ Kitchen:

I also know why we inherited the ugly kitchen "island" at closing: the 2009 owners left it for the people from whom we bought. Check out the mustard-colored walls and valance that the people who owned just before us never changed.

I don't miss those green floor tiles in the least.


Sublevel 1 / Rec Room:

Neither D nor I play the organ. Look how much newer the 1980s carpet looked!


Second Floor / Bedroom 2:

Everything I hate in one spot:
