Hidden treasures…
If I’ve given you the impression that the work on the new house has reached some sort of end, or even a turning point then I apologize. We have OODLES of work ahead of us, and usually at least three or four full-blown projects in progress at any given time.
We’ve finished the majority of the work in the front foyer, with the new wiring in place, plastering, painting and so forth, and have our sights set on the living room now.
The living room needed some new wire, a bit of plastering and some “special” demolition. You see, our home inspector had pointed out that from the outside of the house there were two stained glass windows flanking our fireplace, where as on the inside you can see only blank wall.
We’d discussed it, and decided that before we painted the living room we were going to bust the stained glass windows out and return them to their former glory.
As you can see, the first one appears in good shape, and while we’ve still got work to do, we’re excited about the progress.
Awesome !!!!! You guys rock !!!! Can’t wait to see the finished living room !!!
Yeah, what she said.
I think there classy.
Well, you certainly have the right idea with, ‘before we painted the living room‘ … like the ‘icing on the cake’ … paint goes on last … LOL!!
Those stained glass lights are a feature of that craftsman style of house, and its great to see them being brought back into service after the ill-advised ‘modernization’ that sealed them up inside the walls. ‘Free the lights!’
[...] you will no doubt remember, we discovered that there were two stained glass windows that had been walled up in our living [...]
