House in Progress Diary

The First Survivable Floor!

Let's take a trip back in time and then look at...

THE FIRST SURVIVABLE FLOOR

I can only do the front half tonight...tomorrow is second half. Then we're back to the stuff we've found and BOY! Has it gotten interesting! (Are you intrigued? Please be intrigued. It motivates us to keep going.)

Living Room BEFORE we bought

Yes, this is where the fireplace and built-in's were. They will be back someday.

Living Room (and Sun Room) NOW

Well. This room still needs a little inspiration. Not even a piano can hide the fact that the fireplace should be there. We're hoping that books on the bookshelves of our temporary bookcases (they'll go upstairs after renovations) we'll warm it up a little. That, and new curtains in the sunroom. We're washing the outside of the windows right before we install the screens.

The Dining Room BEFORE we bought

You didn't actually forget about the marlin, did you? I mean, c'mon. (By the way, she took that with her.)

The Dining Room NOW

('http://www.houseinprogress.net/images/diningroom2.html','popup','width=300,height=400,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">

Once those windows are jimmied open and we have new curtains, this may become my favorite temporary room in the house. Still a shame about that trim around doors and windows, but we'll replace it.
