After almost ten months, three seasons, and the birth of our daughter -- the blog is back! And even though this blog's been quiet these past few months, there are LOTS of house updates to share. I thought I'd start with the project that's currently in progress: the downstairs office and bathroom. These two rooms, located just off of the Great Room (read: the home of the stuffed beaver), were in desperate need of a complete renovation. Think peeling wallpaper, uneven floors, drafty windows, and a nonfunctional bathroom (see above). The bathroom, previously with a cramped shower and crumbling hex tiling, is being turned into a half-bath, with quarter-sawn oak flooring, sheetrock walls, and new plumbing fixtures. The office oak floors have been re-leveled and refinished and the plaster walls are being repaired and then painted. Both rooms will have new, energy efficient, 12 over 12 double-paned windows. See below for progress photos -- we love the contrast of the old refinished floor with depressed black caulk and the new, perfectly level bathroom oak floor with the prominent ray flecks.
