That said, many of you people criticing this home probably have worse decorated homes. The house is a simple craftsman and she did simple choices in furnishings. Its clean and cozy and what many buyer's would feel very appealing in that it's not to specialized in any one particular taste. The thing in the corner IS a sculpture not a cat scratcher.

In the midwest only very low low end homes do such. Any decent mid-level home usually has the basic microwave/hood style unit while upscale homes have them built-in to the cabinets. Yet, tons of multi, multi-million dollar homes in LA have a microwave sitting on the countertop?

If the work has been permitted, this means that the contractor/builder/handyman/homeowner went to the appropriate department, had the plans approved and then someone from the government came out and checked to make sure the work was done according to code.<BR/><BR/>While unpermitted work can be up to the standards of permitted work, it often is not. For a buyer, it's a red flag that the quality of the construction may not be up to snuff and it also may mean that if the municipality has an occupancy inspection prior to closing that either the buyer or the seller may be on the hook to get the permits retroactively or in some cases, demolish the unpermitted construction.<BR/><BR/>So_chic, I'm thrilled that you like Craftsman architecture.
