While Steven was working on the electrical, I painted and installed baseboard trim in the north bedroom. We are using corner pieces to give a more vintage look. The great thing is there is no mitering. The baseboard trim was trim we found that someone was giving away. We are using this room to store furniture for the airbnb.
We had one more bedroom in which to install flooring but first Steven needed to work on the electrical for the kitchen. He had to have access under the subfloor to string wire.
We looked over our kitchen cabinets and granite countertops. We realized that if we took out the window that we had put in and move the door to that space, we wouldn’t have to resize the granite countertops. It would also be advantageous for having a table and chairs in the porch. We will move the exterior door to the side and have only windows in the front.
We later realized that we could put the window where the door had been and it would serve as a passthrough for food.
We have installed the hickory flooring in the middle room. It is a lighter color and went in much easier than the north bedroom. The alcove is original to the house. That was the height of the second floor until we raised the roof.
The painted dresser is stripped, stained and finished. The drawers have quarter sawn wood and I am very happy with it.
My daughter and family are in Ecuador. I decided to give them a new bathroom floor and commode.
Our Garden Club and the White Bear Center for the Arts sponsored a show encouraging participants to choose a painting and compose a floral arrangement based on the painting. I won Best of Show.
The north bedroom flooring is installed and we are very happy with it. We had approximately 2 boxes of flooring left over which we hope to use in the hallway.
