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.
Stained Glass Pendant Installed
Month: June 2019
Hallway and Stairway Marble Faux Painting
The walls were primed and then I used did a faux painting resembling marble using two different colors and blending.
North Bedroom Mudded and Ready for Paint
South Bedroom Mudded and ready for paint
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.
What a difference a Day can make!
Yesterday plain walls and today wallpapered and fixtures placed but not installed. I love the wallpaper!
Touch up Work
We are not proficient at sheetrock work so Steven is doing a lot of touch up to smooth the walls out
Tub room and water closet finished sheetrock
Making progress! The tub room and water closet are mudded, sanded, primed and the ceiling are painted.
“Skylight” over tub room door
To add even more light to the hallway Steven cut a hole above the tub room door for a “window”. It couldn’t be centered exactly because of stud placement. It will be installed after the hall is faux painted and I have painted the trim around the window.
Installation of Stained Glass Window
Steven created the opening for the stained glass window, built a wood frame around the glass and installed the window. Lovely light flows through it into the hall.
Progress in completing the sheetrock
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.
