I am so perfectionist that I couldn’t decide what to write for my description, but I’m forcing myself to write something anyway to prove that I’m recovering. Maybe I’ll fix this later. Or maybe this is already a pretty telling blurb about me.Tumblr (3.0; @cassa47)http://chanlee.sutoyo.com/<p>Photos end with the closeup of the remodeled kitchen.</p> <p>Did not take photos of the 3 upstairs bedrooms or the 4th room/office because there was nothing really wrong with them that we could tell given the enormous amount of furniture and stuff everywhere.  They are all carpeted with the same fuchsia carpet as the downstairs. The upstairs bedrooms have cathedral ceilings.</p> <p>1572 square feet.  Not sure if this includes the 5th bonus room next to the garage.</p> <p>Forgot to put in the email - we want recess lighting installed after the ceilings are scraped and painted.</p>http://chanlee.sutoyo.com/post/197296016http://chanlee.sutoyo.com/post/197296016Sat, 26 Sep 2009 04:00:00 -0400<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqkjaygJFu1qzbus7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Street view.  Our unit is at the very back on the right.</p>http://chanlee.sutoyo.com/post/197293303http://chanlee.sutoyo.com/post/197293303Sat, 26 Sep 2009 03:54:34 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqkj5pCGID1qzbus7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Master sinks.  Want to replace counters and fixtures of sinks in all 3 bathrooms.  Either replace or re-stain the cabinetry.  Want to shorten the mirror.</p>http://chanlee.sutoyo.com/post/197291779http://chanlee.sutoyo.com/post/197291779Sat, 26 Sep 2009 03:51:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqkj2pP27G1qzbus7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Existing kitchen tiles.  If we go with ceramic tiling downstairs, will rip these up and replace (same with bathroom tiles).  If we go with laminate flooring downstairs, will leave them.</p>http://chanlee.sutoyo.com/post/197290984http://chanlee.sutoyo.com/post/197290984Sat, 26 Sep 2009 03:49:37 -0400<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqkisaVdK81qzbus7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>One of two staircases.  This one leads to upstairs bedrooms.  Half of it is exposed on the side.  The other staircase leads from the garage to the living room, and is completely walled in.

We believe the counters are granite. This is the counter that we are thinking of expanding if we knock down the wall to the right.
