Lost in Translation

We bought a new couch for the family room today. While removing the packaging, we learned that the legs (there are five in the picture package) had a crystal clear self image.

Bathroom #1 - Wallpaper removal

The great thing about updating a 1969 house is finding, and in some cases removing, the remnants of 1969. Yesterday saw the launch of the first bathroom remodel. We have 3 bathrooms to tackle, and are starting with the lower level, guest bath. I removed the below pictured wallpaper, but had to snap a couple pictures as keepsakes. Can you imagine an entire room covered in such imagery?


















Take note of the "India Talc" and "Windsor Soap" in the first picture. Such detail!!

The New House

It has already been referred to as the Brady House. Our 1969, split entry just waiting for us to add our personal style throughout.

The 4 bedroom, 3 bath, quarter acre is far more than we were looking for in a house. Yet, we could not pass up the opportunity.

In many ways, the house is stuck in 1969. Fortunately for us, the prior owner was attempting to flip the house and had completed much of the demo we would have otherwise done ourselves. A big thank you to him for removal of carpet, etc.!

Some of our initial projects included a new furnace, water heater (tankless), refinishing the floors, carpet in bedrooms, roof repair, and thinning and removal of trees.
