Sorry I haven't been back since originally setting up this blog, but between the colds (yes plural and for both of us), the holidays, travel and my ignorance about blogging I just didn't get back here until now.
So, I thought some "before" pictures might be nice! A friend who is a contractor said that in it's day (1980) it was probably quite the "posh pad!" Well, maybe so, but so little has been done since then that moniker is way out of date!

Orange carpet, orange tile around the fireplace, lots of orange toned cedar -
even cooper colored shades! |
 |
More orange carpet, 1980's lighting and grass-cloth wallpaper!
My aunt loved that stuff - us, not so much. |
 |
That rough cedar will make some great kayaks according to Bill,
but all it makes the living room is dark!
|
 |
| More brown and orange....... |
 |
| Upstairs too! |
 |
There also seemed to be some fascination with screws - there were literally hundreds screwed
into the walls all over the house. Lots of things to hang we think. |
Most people who have visited now say kind things like "I just can't imagine what it will look like," or "You guys must be very visionary," or..... You get the idea.... We laugh and move on. More pictures to come as we make more progress.
