Aidan and Jet's Bedroom

Before!Again, there was much nicotine to be scrubbed from the walls...
During!

I love little surprises!



After!


At the time the 'After' pictures were taken, there were still a few details to be added, but the bones were there!

The Dining Room!

Before!


This poor room...It had layers of wallpaper that only went halfway up the wall,
a chair rail that was rotting, and the plaster....well...let's just say that this was the most
challenging room of them all.







After!




After stripping the paper, removing the chair rail, filling all the holes, giving 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of paint and cleaning 40

years of nicotine from the light fixture, I think it turned out pretty well!
My mom and dad built the table about 35 years ago, and it has become
my most prized possession!

All decked-out for Aidan's 6th birthday!





The Living Room

Oh, how sad....

Before




All of this furniture was there when we moved in. Also, please notice the outline of the
previous tenant's pictures. Very nice!
During
(clean, although poorly refinished, floor, and crisp white walls)
