OK, so most of the pictures I post here will also be in the gallery if you don't want to read our ramblings. I thought some of you might be interested in specifics about what we're doing.
The master bedroom isn't the first room we started on, but it is the one that is closest to completion right now. We've removed paint from the transoms and all the harware (hinges, window pulls, transom hardware). This isn't fun work. Paint stripper is bad enough to smell, but the mess from 100 years worth of paint is significant on it's own. We've also removed the old carpet, sanded the oak floors and restained and polyurethaned them. We painted the walls and trim. We spent about 6 hours cleaning the corbels at either end of the arch in the room. If we didn't have the finished basement to live in, we'd have never been able to focus so much attention on trying to get it right.
