Well, here she is! My sister Becky's lovely old house! The farmhouse was built around 1900's and has some lovely features. Right now she needs lots of love..... and Work!!
We spent the weekend helping them get started!
One of the loveliest features is the front staircase. Everyone who walks in the front door can't help but exclaiming. The banister has already been restored, but the walls certainly in need of a little sprucing!
This is looking back toward the living room from the dining room. There is new drywall that needs to be plastered and hardwood floors that need to be refinished through out.
It already looks like a construction zone doesn't it?!
The kitchen is also in need of a bit of work.
And here is the new bathroom tile floor we laid! It took awhile to get all the prep work done. As with most old houses, one always comes across previous owners handiwork. The bathroom floor had two layers of plywood and a layer of vinyl, which all takes time to remove.....
I will keep you updated on the progress. We will be heading up a couple more times this month to help with projects.
Looks like it is a diamond in the rough! I especially love those old five panel doors.
ReplyDeleteIt is a diamond in the rough! WE can't wait to get her all sparkly again!
DeleteWow! It looks like your family has already made some great progress! I love old farmhouses. The stairway in your sister's house is so lovely. I can't wait to see all of your updates!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The stairs are very lovely and they will be even more lovely without pea green walls! Lol!
DeleteI didn't notice until I looked at the pictures blown up but there are so many outlets in the kitchen! it looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteThey really went to town with the outlets. There is no shortage anywhere in the house! WE are all thrilled that the electrical is all done.
