Master Bedroom Floor

Started in on the master bedroom floor a few weeks ago. Got it all sanded and prepped. This floor is a different wood than the rest of the house so we weren't sure if the stain would look the same. It now has a layer of stain and 2 of the 3 coats of varnish.

Library Lighting

We got this beautiful Tiffany style pendant light at a garage sale over the summer but were finally just able to get it hung up. The electrical work in the house leaves a lot to be desired. Namely, none of the lights have electrical boxes in the ceiling. And this light was way too heavy hang without the proper reinforcement. But we got all that taken care of and it looks just lovely!

Master Bedroom Floor

Sanded the floor of the master bedroom this weekend. Looks much better and didn't take nearly as much sanding as some of the other floors in the house. It will be stained dark to match all the other flooring. We also painted one wall to try out the color and think it's gonna be a keeper - Exotic Eggplant by Behr.

Primer Time

Got a coat of primer on the master bedroom this past weekend. Excited to finally get some paint on these walls!

Upstairs Bathroom

There is finally a toilet in the upstairs bathroom! Now it just needs a sink...and a floor...and a light.

One Year Later

It was one year ago on New Year's Eve that we went to look at this place for the first time. While it still has a long way to go, it's also come a long way. The downstairs is mostly done. A few floors need tiled, a few light fixtures changed out, that sort of thing. We've moved on to the upstairs now. The bathroom and master bedroom are the next targets.
Spent some time cleaning all the old wall paper off the walls and scrubbing them down. There are a few more cracks in the walls that need patched and then it's primer and paint time!
