I didn't see this thread for today so I thought I would post another one.
At my in-laws place in Maine, there is a large built-in bookcase at the end of the living room.

'Perfectly' decorated Home verses a Perfect Home for your Family?
Comments (66)I've enjoyed this thread so much. (Well, except for all those 'annoying' football comments. I mean really, let's get the over hyped Super Bowl out of the way so we can get on to the real sport...BASEBALL! Go Rangers! lol Auntjen, we are neighbors as I, too, live in the same county as Jerry World.) ahem...back to decorating. I'm a new real estate agent and one of my fascinations is seeing the inside of people's homes. I held an open house this weekend at a charming home. Talk about beautifully decorated! I so wish I could have taken photos just to show you guys the decor. (The RE photos don't show the decor like I'd like to show y'all.) After two hours of 'living' in the home, I was ready to go back to my more rumpled and comfortable home. lol I know the owners have 'staged' the home to be very, very nice looking and they are getting the right kinds of comments. I just know that for me and mine...we go for that 'creative' look. lol My goal, an ongoing, ever-ellusive goal, is to create a warm, inviting, and comfortable place to live that still delights my eye and artistic sense. That's possible, not perfect...and when it comes together, it is PERFECT. ;0)...See MoreHidden home decor again
Comments (9)Okay! Okay! This is a home video room for watching films. I did not really see those posters at first. So, my guess is that there are speakers behind one or more of those movie posters....See MoreHidden home decor for Thursday
Comments (13)The sliding cabinet door is too obvious so I would think that would not be it. It does look as if both units move. There is space at the bottom of them. They also look quite heavy! The one on the right looks as if it could be a murphy bed but also looks like it would open into a passage way. Maybe the sliding cabinet door opens a bar and then the side unit is a door to the wine cellar/liquor closet. That recessed corner space is housing something....See MoreTuesday hidden home decor.
Comments (8)I think the uncentered middle hinge was so that it would be lower than the bottom shelf, so that I could use longer screws with out the fear that they'd poke through the side of the shelf and be visible. I realized that these are older pictures, and that since then I cut a hole in the lower part of the back panel and installed a door there so I have hidden storage inside my hidden storage....See More

7 years agoI also found a picture of the bedroom beyond the bookcase door
The house had some great features, most notably being right across the street from the harbor, with this for a view:
The house itself was cute:
and it had a large backyard, with terraced gardens
However the kitchen was outdated
and more importantly (in my opinion) it sloped down a couple of inches from the near side of the kitchen to the far side. Which I felt indicated foundation problems (well that, and the fact that you could see light through portions of the "rubble" foundation).My wife's family was fortunate that they found a buyer motivated enough by the location to ignore those potential issues.
