Hallway

So I have been working like a dervish on the entry way! And now it looks so beautiful!
So you have seen the before pictures, now for the after pics! Yeah, that's right...its done.


This is the hallway and stairwell, with the new trim.



This is next to the stair well...also with new trim.



Here is a comparison of the old paint and the new paint...much better now!

The bathroom is far from done, and far from begun. We are squarely in the middle where it is easy to rest, complacent, without progress, satisfied in good enough. What I mean, is that the bathroom is functional. We have a toilet that flushes, a sink that runs water and a tub that fills up….wait, it is true. We finally put a faucet in the tub! I bought this great Pegasus waterfall faucet we even got a matching diverter valve for the shower….which is still not actually installed. Well the piping is, but not so much the shower head.

This faucet is so luxurious!

Even though I am surrounded by drywall and plywood and have to use a step ladder to get into the tub (because someone hasn’t built the step he promised)…I feel like a queen when I shave my legs to a cascading wall of water! Soon we will have a new water heater so I can stop heating my tub roman style, by heating pots on the stove and pouring the boiling water in the tub. Though yes, it is very 19th century, and matches the house in tactical age…not the level of authenticity I have been going for.

What a girl will do for a hot bath!
