Odds & Ends

This past weekend, we worked on some odds and ends that needed to be tied up. First, Jason's mom helped with a decorative treatment for our bedroom - an accent wall. We think it's pretty neat -tried to get a close up for you.

The doors you see above are salvage yard finds. That is the closet in the upstairs bathroom. We found these doors, once on a church office. Jason only had to take a bit off the bottom to fit them in. He added the track and now they are perfect closet doors.

Next you'll see a picture of the patched floor. Originally, there was a beautiful register in the floor right in the entryway. At least, that's what we think! When we arrived there was an area rug covering a badly patched floor. Jason's done his best to use the same wood as elsewhere in the house to make it a little less noticeable.

The last picture is of the 2 doors Erika and Carol have been stripping. The side door to the house was painted white on one side (that's the door to the back). The other door used to be on the upstairs bathroom, but has been moved to the downstairs. That also had one side painted white. We'll show you the new upstairs bath door soon.

We're proud to announce all of the painting is DONE!!! We'll post pics of the downstairs bath freshly painted soon. Other than paint stripping, Jason is now fixing up the staircase, taking off the fronts of the treads to clean them and then re-nailing them and gluing them. We're also spending this week getting estimates for floor refinishing. That is our next big project, and we can't wait to see how they turn out. Then it will definitely start looking like a home!
