Unfortunately - I have fallen behind on my blog.
It happens.
For those of you that have not already heard me grumble about my current project -
let me formally introduce you to :
Little Red
Little Red was not originally on my radar
(or anywhere on my schedule ) but, unforeseen circumstances left her floating in the wind - and she almost literally fell in my lap.
I was actually looking forward to a little break after Woodrow - but,
I am a firm believer in
"things happen for a reason" ... so -
here we go!
The house was left in an interesting state, with an odd menagerie of miscellaneous treasures left behind.
Unfortunately - nothing that we could use.
Except this key
You know how I love an original key!
I hate to even post this picture
As of today the key is missing!
I wanted to put it away for safe keeping as soon as I saw it.
Joe ( our contractor) assured me that it would be safe, and that he "needed" it, so I left it in the door.
GRRRRR!
I told him that he'd better start praying to St. Anthony - and fast!
I want that key back.
This is the official Master bedroom "before" picture.
Yes - this is really what it looked like.
The one & only bathroom in the house.
Back bedroom - which will eventually become the master bathroom. This door originally would have gone to a balcony, but currently goes to nowhere and screams LIABILITY!
Can't wait to close it up.
The larger of the 2 front bedrooms. Terrible carpet all over, but....this thick stuff did a great job protecting the floors.
Another bedroom - more wallpaper - more dropped ceilings - yippee!
Stairway - I am definitely going to add some light here.
Even with the window - this seems like a dark spot.
Can't wait to show you how far along she has come.
Just peeling back the layers of carpet / wallpaper and acoustic ceiling has made such a difference!
