{the renovation} more master bathroom

August 12, 2010

I left you hanging a few weeks ago with a partially finished master bathroom…sorry!  I’ve been diligently working on prepping walls and trim (and quickly losing motivation), so no final-final pics, but how about some pics of how it was when we moved in, hmmm? The last pic I shared was a completed vanity, finally [...]

{the renovation} finished floors

August 9, 2010

Hi friends!  Sorry again for my general blog silence…moving in – especially when everything isn’t finished – is tough work! I spent most of the weekend sanding away 90 years and a rainbow of old paint on the trim and door in our master bathroom (don’t worry, I was wearing a mask!).  The previous owners [...]

So last night Husband scolded me for not keeping the blog updated!!!  I didn’t even realize he regularly read it!  Apparently when he was back in DC at his main office and wanted to show people our renovation progress, he kept having to explain how much farther along we were when showing them my blog!  [...]

{the renovation} floor progress

July 14, 2010

Last week I gave you a peek at the progress on refinishing the floors of our little cottage.  All of the floors of the house (except the now-bathrooms) are original tongue-in-groove red pine flooring – bea-u-ti-ful!  Today is another peek at them from last week in their sanded-but-not-yet-stained state. Because we all love a good [...]
