Project Room

So here are some early pictures of "project room" - before and after. The previous owners painted the beautiful hardwood floors in all the upstairs bedrooms, and all the trim including the beautiful mantle in one bedroom. The house is old enough that we are assuming lead paint. So we are stripping it painstakingly without sanding. Even so, Joe has a huge gas mask type thing he wears when stripping the paint. We have had the ceiling tested for asbestos, since it is the popcorn ceiling type, and we are planning on stripping it smooth. Joe has been working long days on this room (I help once in awhile). It is going to be beautiful. More pics to go along with project updates soon! I have been working long hours/weeks to keep up with our projects and new mortgage, so my weekday time to blog is limited =)
