Day 79 - The Process Continues

We have been working in our kitchen, doing a mini make-over. Brian has done some rewiring, primed the walls and painted the ceiling. The trickier part of painting all the woodwork is next, which also includes two windows with old-fashioned 6x6 windows. This is a picture of three rolls of paint tape to mask the windows before he paints. He stuck them on top of the door frame so that little hands wouldn't find them.

Day 20 - Debris - Sat 1/20

Last week, I asked dh if would be okay to tear off the wallpaper in the kitchen. We have been at this house for ten years and I have always disliked the paper. My idea was a "simple" makeover...paint and paper.

Well....this house is also 160+ years old and has had many owners who had their own way of doing things...add many different types of wiring and what not, and quite a can of worms can be opened with each "simple" project.

This is just a sampling of where we are today in the project. There are lots of these little piles of construction debris around. I'm not sure where Bri will draw the line and just say, "I'm going to leave the rest", but I know he is going to rewire everything for safety reasons.
