Dona sanding....
A crack that kinda turned into a small hole...
Dona, fixing another crack we found.
Lynn working on peeling off the 6 layers of paint from the mantle.
Bret and Sarah working on the fireplace.
Alexis working on my room.
You can only see the wall paint in this shot - it's Newport Blue. When I finally get curtains up, you'll be able to see the trim: Bermuda Sand...
The house came with a lovely big mirror, but I felt it distracted too much from the original fireplace. So this is the "before" picture. (No, it's not really that bright in the house. Robert's sunglasses were used as impromptu protective eyeware for the mirror removal procedure. Clever, huh?)
"After" picture. This is what was underneath the mirror. Just a little water damage and fungus....
That's me in one of the corners of the fireplace. There were mirrors in each corner that we removed too. Ok, when I say "we," I mean Robert....
The fireplace isn't quite done yet...but it's getting close!
My pretty new doors! Thanks to Sarah, Kim, Bret, Robert, Lynn and Mark. (they needed several coats...)
Callie painting the extra bedroom.
The extra room...the wall is Slate Green and the trim is Barely Jade...I know. It looks blue, but it really does have a green tint. I love it!
The "flipper" spray painted the house and didn't cover the original wood floor. He found it cheaper to just carpet the room. I really wanted wood floors and pulled up the carpet and this is what I found.....
So I had the floors professionally redone. Here is the finished floor. They did a really great job!Several other kind friends helped out - although I didn't get pictures of them: Marianne, Kim, Mark, Diana, Matt, Sacha, Plewe, Allison, and Samuel. I couldn't have done it without them!! THANK YOU!!!
As soon as I finish the fireplace, I'll be sure to post a new picture!
Stay tuned...
