Why this one? OK, first of all, we were smart enough to actually writing done a wish list of what we want to have in the apartment and about where we want to live. I have to admit, although I grow up in Taipei city, there are not too many nice residential areas in the city which we want to live in. We wanted to find an area is chic, convenient, greener than most of business areas in town, a small view of blue sky and right by a subway station. Second, after all the bad bath room and storage problems we had in our previous temporary homes, we also wanted an apartment is bit large for two--more than 100 square meters and better comes in 2 floors.
We did not have much choice and we could not afford the new apartments in the areas we wanted. So when this old but charming 2 floors apartment showed up, I graped it right away! B had his doubt but he soon realized this was a good option after he searched around town. We carefully examined the structure with some professions and history of the apartment, then, we went for it!! In one sentence-- We saw the potential!!
The remodeling process started 3 weeks ago, and we went inside the apartment to take some BEFORE pictures after our wedding. It is quit amazing that we are going to make this oldie a cutie!
The sky is typical a Taipei Grey Blue and I am sure you can tell this is an absolute 30-years oldie~~
Living Room
A bar is in command.
Sad 1 floor bed room used to be for a disable oldie we guessed
That person's bathroom?
A very weird kitchen
Sad 2 floor bathroom
2floor small bed room
2 floor master bedroom facing a school full of annoying kids..........
