The front room (then and now) ...

{Then} ...
{Now} ...

We're excited to get the base board and ceiling trim up. And we're hoping to redo those hardwood floors ... :)

Hardwood floors

One side clean (the top) the other side thrashed from the construction madness ...

Good news ... They clean up! There's hope for these 60 year old floors! :)

The stairs - almost ready for carpet.

I like the color of the stairs and part of me wants to keep them wood... however, they are very beat up and there is no carpet in this house. It's all hardwood. We think the carpet on the stairs and up into the hallway will add a nice touch to the place.

Special thanks to Kade and Kaleb for tearing up the carpet and pulling out all the staples. :)

The start of something wonderful ...

Here's an interesting space ... It's on the main floor (in the middle of the room). Someone had a good idea for a fire place. But didn't quite finish the dream...We're thinking we'll add a pellet stove there. I found an old harth piece during the summer and I'm excited to see how it looks there.

Check out the hard wood floors - love them!

Power update: We have power in the place - just need to get some lights running now! :)
If you live in one of these old 'letter homes' you already know that light is a challenge. For some reason, back in the 1940's they didn't think we needed any lights in the main rooms. It's odd but part of the adventure. Luckily in this house, there are lots of windows.

I love windows.
