We've been working on the dinning room and fixing the plaster on the boarder around the top of the woodwork. Then we primed it and finally we painted the boarder and the panels. We tried to paint the boarder to be a faux gold leaf but it being so high up you couldn't even tell it was a metallic so we primed and painted it back to the yellow we picked out.
The dinning room will be finished after we....
Paint a final coat on the ceiling
Touch up/clean the woodwork
Clear out the cob webs from the china cabinet
Replace the one missing handle on the China cabinet
Clean the room
Stage the room
The master bedroom... Has been the most paint or plaster and wait room. We have most of it primed. The ceiling seems to be ready to put up some kind of plaster decoration on to it. Getting that thing totally smooth is the biggest nightmare ever so we're gonna do some kind of knock down or swirlish kind of plaster pattern to make it look better than a not so flat ceiling. We also have most of the room primed and ready to paint
The master bedroom needs
The woodwork painted
The walls painted
A ceiling fan installed
A baseboard that is missing replaced
A decorative piece of the window frame that is mmissing replaced
Likely a quick refinish of the floor
New blinds
Staged
The master bathroom has been the biggest of nightmares. It was originally a tiny bathroom, a water heater closet and a large handicap bathroom which we knocked down the walls to make it a huge master bathroom that connects to another room that could be a nursery or before Peggy came along we were going to turn it into a huge walk in closet. The three rooms had all kinds of different layers of floors on it. And each floor is glued, screwed or nailed in. One room had I kid you not seven different floors that we have had to rip up. We've spent the whole day ripping out a 7 by 10 foot floor(s). There are so many nails in this stupid floor it's rediculous. I'll show a picture of a part of the floor we pulled up about two by two feet with just some of the nails still left in it.
Tomorrow our beloved dumpster will part us! We first we felt like we over estimated the dumpster but we went around the house and purged everything we could from it and had a few neighbors toss some junk in and wah-la we filled that sucker up!
Tomorrow Rick and I take one of our last romantic dates to Saint Joseph Missouri. A short 40 minute drive north takes us to our hot date location of Menards! Our next favorite home improvement store besides Home Cheapo! ;) once we have the truck loaded up with all kinds of things from coat hooks, to a bathtub we will voyage to the other side of the highway and have a romantic lunch at Arby's. What a romantic life we live in this money pit.
In non-house news, Peggy has mastered rolling over from her back to her tummy. Tummy to back she's still working on. Peggy also has two bottom teeth that have fully broken through and making their way to sticking out like two little buck teeth. So cute. We are surviving Ricks mom for the most part! I gonna miss having someone to do my laundry that is for sure.
For now, I leave you with some pictures of the house.
This is about two by two feet part of the floor with maybe half of the nails in it still. Every single layer of the floor had nails put through it.
Just more floor on floor on floor picture and my favorite gigantic huge crowbar.
More bathroom floor picture. This little spot took us all day.
Lastly a few day old picture of the dinning room. The yellows now match. I'll have a better picture up soon.
Oh ps. I'm way to tired and sore to spell check and edit this post, so sorry if any of it was sloppy. I promise to take a lot of pictures tomorrow in the day light.
