Projects Afoot

There have been some projects that have come and gone without so much as a mention (considering I haven't posted since January....).

The Living Room Re-paint (Winter '08)

Spent what felt like an eternity in hell scraping away the most hideous wallpaper ever manufactured. I believe the pattern is "Scum Pond".

See the horrible patch above the window? That's where a lovely
stained or leaded glass window was foolishly removed some
time in the past 100 years.


Note that this photo was taken on 12.29.08. We were hosting
a New Years Eve party in two days.




After much stress and hard work, here are the results:


Don't judge our furniture. We're poor.





Of course the carpet is temporary until we have the cash for a real hardwood (bamboo?) floor. Some day. Maybe like 2020...
