Hello, Holli here this morning.
Well, where do I begin? Weekends are fast and furious around here. We have so many irons in the fire with the house we are constantly going from one project to the next.
As you can see the blog is looking much better. I spent a bit of time watching tutorials on you tube and along with some excellent tutelage from Tom it really coming together. Although, there is still much to do to get it where I want it.
We finally finished up a re-purposed 'bed to bench' project we had going. This was a donation to the National Transplant Foundation, for a silent auction benefit. So there was an actual deadline for the project. I am so not used to deadlines.
Here's how it came out.
Along with the bench we finally got the brick molding around the downstairs bathroom window sanded. It looks pretty good and won't need anything more but some blopturp, primer and paint.
We also got a large chunk of the woodwork and trim stripped in the front parlor. It appears that the previous owners put black shellac on it. There was no care in the application and it is globbed and streaky looking. Tom has replaced the missing plaster in this room and now needs to skim coat the walls but we want all the stripping done first.
Weekends also give Tom and me time to brainstorm over our projects and after some consideration we decided put the upstairs sitting area window project on hold. Aww, I know how you were looking forward to it. But don't worry, we have replaced that project with one just as exciting. We removed a whole window! How's that for fun? And, it's coming up next.
Finally, I know I have promised some videos but there were some technical difficulties. I was told that my I-phone would take good videos so I went with that. Well, they are good but they are only as wide as the phone. UGH! I went out this morning and bought a video camera. We'll see how it works.
Stay tuned for our next post...Removing a whole window.
Thanks for stopping by,
Holli
