Old Victorian Progress

Wow, nice job with the crown moulding and beadboard. The room looks very nice. It's too bad about the floor, but for a nursery, I think the carpet is a pretty good choice.

I found a picture from when I was attempting to strip the blue floor. Not only was it blue, but it was patched in with wood of a different color and species, so I threw in the hat.

About 2 months ago I started working on our spare bedroom. The walls were hot pink painted over wallpaper , the ceiling was cracked texture, etc. I stripped the wallpaper and skim coated the walls, drywalled the ceiling and installed crown molding. I'm almost finished... just need to touch up some paint and refinish the floor.

When I was stripping the walls I found writing from the 2 guys who installed the wallpaper, which I thought was pretty amazing.

"This house was papered for the first time by C.E. Hollinger in March 1909."
- I'm not sure what happened to the picture of this. What's neat is we were told the house was built in 1917!

Another guy wrote:
"TO HELL WITH HITLER"
"Paper Hanger> Heverling Feb, 21 1942"




I don't have any updated pictures of the room yet, but it's coming along nicely.
