And some "befores" on the baking cabinet. Here it is, mostly sanded.
And this is a drawer front before sanding. It really IS nice wood, and the drawers are all beautifully dovetailed. I almost hate to paint it. Almost.
This is the back. Rob is adding some wood to give it a finished look before I prime and paint it this weekend.
Next week the carpet and vinyl will be installed on the main floor and I plan to have those doorways stripped and stained before the floor installation.
It feels so good to get things done. I am still remembering how incapacitated I was last spring. It is nearing time to get out my little light every morning. Funny, though -- I am not dreading winter as much as I usually do, I think because I know I have a secret weapon against the darkness.
This weekend: Rob is at school while I am priming, painting ("Timeless Taupe," if you want to know), pulling up carpet, sanding, staining, and breaking up tile. The kids are looking forward to taking hammers to the awful bathroom tile with me. I am looking forward to not having to bleach grout anymore.
Hi Daughter, The ceiling in the bathroom looks FABULOUS and the bathroom is so pretty now - gotta love that Northwoods look. The dresser will look just great in Timeless Taupe and as you said, Grandma and Grandpa Vandergon would approve and be happy that you are using and enjoying it. Talk to you soon! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteLoving the bathroom, that's such a nice addition to your basement!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's your secret light weapon that will quell the darkness my friend, I think it's a sense of purpose that I just didn't notice in you last year that is coming out loud and proud this year. You have some goals, you're setting yourself to do and complete them. That, IMO, is the difference!
