House Updates

These were on the small windows on the second floor.  They are heavy metal and I'm assuming original to the house.  There was a suggestion I not put them back up as the rest of the exterior will be updated.  I considered it for half a second then I saw them up close.  How could we not?  They are a part if this house.  Kevin's dad is going to sandblast and repaint. Now he's like 75 so his projects take time but he does beautiful work.  He's been helping Kevin paint the interior.   
Speaking painting of here's the front hall which will continue through the upstairs hall.  I hemmed and hawed but I like it.  
 
In case you forgot, this is the old color.  As much progress has happened, it's happening slower than we expected.  Especially Todd.  He's starting to get irritated.  We won't be moving in until mid-September and even then the exterior and in-law apartment won't be done.  But I knew this would happen. I watch enough HGTV to know that.  
And here's our room painted.  I love it!  But all the wood in oak and our bed set cherry.  Will drive me nuts.  Still love this house.

  1. Have the SAME issue with different color woods. I have a lot of wood in the house, almost entirely oak...but my furniture has always been dark. Believe it or not...the pockets of dark wood are okay. There are only a couple of spots that still irritate me.

  2. Looks like a ton of work but it's going to be beautiful!! Heard through the grapevine that this weekend is the big move! Glad the commuting didn't last too long :)
