That is pretty nice! I'm not paying enough attention to bathrooms, since that's your job. But maybe!

The house yesterday wasn't for us. First, and most importantly of all, we just didn't feel it. It was also too expensive for us for the amount of work that needed to be done; all the rooms needed to be painted to brighten it up, the floor in the living/dining/kitchen needed to be replaced, the kitchen cabinets needed to be wrapped all to lighten things up. The bedrooms weren't big and had lots of windows, which makes deciding where the bed and the wardrobe to difficult. One bedroom had a hatch in the ceiling to the storage attic, so you can't put any furniture underneath that, the shed was falling apart, the bathroom needed an overhaul and the woodwork (stairs, windows, doors inside and out) needed painting. Cute house, but not for us.
The realtor office wasn't able to get an appointment for the house in Zeist, it was fully booked, but the realtor himself is going to make some phone calls to see if we can be fit in, I think he's feeling a bit guilty after not getting 3 houses.
And on Tuesday we're going to Gouda for
this house. It look like it'll be difficult to fit a 140cm wide bed in the attic, the it'll make a nice craft room and I could make a nice cross stitch corner up there. Otherwise I do like this house, though it is at the top end of our budget and we won't be able to overbid much.
With a bit of luck my parents will hear today if they can buy the apartment, there's one other person bidding, so fingers crossed for that. The heirs are selling it and they already let it be known that for them it would be better if the house wasn't sold until next year (documents can be signed, but the actual payment won't be until January). But if my parents get it they can get access to get measurements to start getting new furniture, but they can't start painting or moving things in.
