rate my space was the place where are number of popular bloggers got their start. it is also the place where i religiously logged onto to get inspiration for my various apartment.
this condo project was small. as a matter of fact it was 493sq ft small. this photo really gives you a good perspective of the space. most people who like amazing spaces always like to see what the before was like, so lets take a look at that. shall we?
it appears the kitchen original cabinetry was saved and just a few coats of paint were added (previous picture). everything seemed to have great bones in this old space. that is the great things about older properties, while they may not have all of the bills and whistles that many of the new developments have they certainly boast amazing sturdy and quality features.
for many a blank slate such as this one can be very intimidating as they are unsure where to start, but for me this is just the start id like to have. with no previous idea of what was there before.
after housing market crashed in a number of areas, there have been a a lot of great deals popping up all over the place. while these type of deals are great they often require a elbow grease, but the finishing line certainly makes it worth it in the end. of course every little bit helps. or rather every little helper...lol

I'd choose a brownstone or a victorian style home or craftsman or Spanish/ Moroccan/Mediterranean style home.
I'm dreaming of finding a cottage with a small yard within biking distance to the ocean! Best of luck to you and your condo search MrGWH!
I would love to have an A line cabin in the mountains... swedish fireplace and wood flors with rag rugs.
A big round table so there is always room for one more and lots of party games in the mid century cabinets... rummi cube, monopoly, scrabble etc.
Rashon, I will be updating my old condo (I am moving back to my condo after 14 years in my house - I will either rent or sell my house). It will be a challenge since the condo really hasn't been updated in a long time.
Love your blog!!
For this to have been done in 2008 they were obviously way ahead of their time. It is so smooth and modern and cool for today.
I'd pick whatever I could afford at the time. Start small. At some point the flipping market is going to pick up. As a first time home owner you get special rates from the bank or the FHA. But, because you are a freelancer, you might have to put a higher percentage down. Ann
Wow, Amazing how the "builder grade" boring design just faded away...and now there's color and contrast and texture....LOVE!
