Bedrooms

We left the paddles on this fan white and used the side with the caning to give a more vintage look.

We discovered we had 7 ceiling fans we had picked up free at various places. They all worked except for one! They were all bright gold colors so after taking them apart, I spray painted 3 of them. The paddles just needed cleaning and retaining.

Steven had to do many mudding touchups as we are not totally proficient in this skill.

We found this stained glass pendant at the New Brighton Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Steven shortened the chain and installed it over the stairway using the platform we had installed for the sheetrock installation.

The walls were primed and then I used did a faux painting resembling marble using two different colors and blending.

I had planned to do a faux painting on the walls but we decided to keep it simple. The walls will be the same color as the ceiling.

We are not proficient at sheetrock work so Steven is doing a lot of touch up to smooth the walls out

We hired a gentleman to mud and tape our sheetrock. He was not a skilled mudder so we decided to finish it ourselves. Steven purchased an electric sander. I tried it out but found it heavy.

Steven has continued to work on the plumbing. Our licensed plumber looked it over and gave him the go ahead to start gluing.

Stripping paint from windows and doors has kept me busy for several weeks. Then staining and sealing the bedroom and dining room windows. I used a blend of mineral spirits, linseed oil and polyurethane. The two doors have stubborn pink paint which I will need to use a stripper on.
