HOME WORK

Well, in anticipation of Tina and Martin visiting with the family from Germany in a few short weeks, Kristen decided that all the work has to get done now on the house...so, she has torn out all the baseboards and started taking everything off the wall in anticipation of the painters that should be coming in a couple weeks.

She also wants wainscoting through a whole bunch of the downstairs that I am now going to try to do on my own...wish me luck...


some what I hope will be before pictures:

How can you not love that floral wallpaper that we uncovered under the badly put together under the crown molding?












Yes, that floral print continues...and you can also see just a few of the numerous holes I need to fix from all the stuff we had up on the walls....

Kristen LOVED this coffee swirl type of painting when we first moved in...now, 11 years later I think she believes it is swirly dirt.  To say she is ready for a change is probably an understatement.
