Progress continues at our house. It's hard to believe that we have almost owned it for two months. We've made quite a lot of changes already and actually spent our first night there this past weekend. These photos are from the previous weekend - I'll post more recent photos soon. We have started to decorate these rooms so a few more touches and we can share the finished rooms!
In the downstairs room that we will be using as our bedroom for the first year, we wallpapered with an embossed wallpaper called anaglypta wallpaper. It works well on uneven surfaces which definitely describes these walls. We painted the trim the grey we are using through the house and the walls a saffron yellow. We will be using white accents in the room to highlight the color.
In the parlor, we added two coats of stain and three coats of polyurethane to the newly sanded hardroom floors. The result is beautiful - smooth on the feet and rich with the character of its age and patina.
In the kitchen, the appliances went back in and the first batch of cabinets are in place. You get a great feel for the space and layout now and it's starting to look like a kitchen! We've even cooked a few meals there already.
New cabinets have also gone up in the bathroom above where the washer and dryer will live. We refinished some of the old floor boards from the kitchen for the shelves with two sets of antique brackets. The bathroom also has a fresh coat of paint, refinished floors, new lights and a fan and the sink cabinet has been painted grey to match.
