I did take one picture of us.
Anyway, here’s one thing!.That’s original hardwood there.. Isn’t that kinda the dream?
You buy the big old country house in need of love, pull back some of the ugly and find tons of original beauty waiting for you to unleash it!.But how to get rid of all that glue from the peel ‘n stick tile?.The varnish has yellowed like crazy, so I don’t mind that some of the cleaners I’ve been trying have been taking off some of the top coat.
We’ll be sanding and staining again anyway.. And then we started ripping out walls.. Our master bedroom is an addition so behind the entrance wall is the original brick exterior wall.Well, how cool would that be to expose it and get to see that everyday?.
Answer: Pretty cool.. It’s going to take a lot of work.
They pretty much went crazy with the demolition of the wall for the doorway, so lots of insulation and thick moldings will be needed, but I think I’ll somehow manage.. On a completely different note, I’ve been doing some baking, as have a lot of us I’m sure.. Last year I found myself wanting a “signature” fall recipe that I could make for my family that would just feel like home.You can bet this little project is going to make another appearance come Christmas tree decorating time!I’ve had quite a few comments lately about my spoons that I have in my dining room.
The ones that can be found right here:.People seem to like them.
They think they look fancy and cool.So I thought I’d show you how I whipped this one up a few years ago..
