With the holidays, I am falling a bit behind on the writing, as well as the remodel work. I traveled to Boston over Christmas as part of a trip with Andy, Lucy, and Grace for a hockey tournament. We piled into one vehicle and stayed in a hotel room with two small beds. Every couple... Continue Reading →
Ok so I’ve gotten requests to post progress photos. These are some ugly shots of the wallpaper coming down, in various stages.

I took one week to give the wood in the living room some attention – it’s parquet that was salvaged from an area school gym back in the 60’s. I went over each square, scraping and polishing, first with wood cleaner and restorer, then lemon oil, then did the same again to the wainscoting. I... Continue Reading →

Thanksgiving is almost here, and I am glad this is a quick room! I have used orange oil on all of the wood so it is rich and smells wonderful. As I had stripped the wallpaper, I watched the years roll in reverse. Friday night I visited my mom and helped her with a couple... Continue Reading →
