House Before any work

These are some scary before pictures.


The above picture is of the parlor, what we use for the TV room.



This picture is of the front door, and the arched doorway between the living room and parlor.



The stairs are in the parlor, and were steep. These have been redone, and more up to code!



The lovely arched opening between the dining room and the living room.


I will post the after pictures shortly, so enjoy these for a few days, and then you can see our improvements and be amazed later on!

My favorite is the green carpet. I'm sure that goes with everything! :)

Yeah, the carpet was such a lovely color! In the dining room, where it looks brown, I vacuumed it prior to storing boxes there, and you could see that the color was supposed to be the same as the other room. Gross and when we tore it out, the pad underneath the carpet had pulverized into green dust that was around even when we were sanding the floor a year later!

GROSS!!! I'm afraid to pull up our carpet. The people who were renting the house before we bought it were breeding hamsters. You can't imagine the smell before we steam cleaned. Plus, when we were painting, the paint wouldn't stick to the walls in places no matter how much we cleaned them. Yuck!
