The entrance way of the house, after we tore it up.

And after the floor sanding.

Then we peeled off the wood paneling, sanded down the glue spots, peeled off the wallpaper and painted. We put in a new light fixture. We painted the walls a very scary yellow. That will have to get changed sometime down the road.

The neighbors up the block were tossing their door in the garbage. Their house is of a similar vintage as ours. We grabbed it up and refinished it in our basement. It took a long time.

We added some IKEA curtains, pictures, a hand-me down carpet, and a bench. The contractor put in the door and new rungs on the stairs.

The ceiling needs to get fixed. We need a better carpet and maybe an arm chair for reading in the corner. The woodwork need to be stained. Actually, all the woodwork needs refinishing. Some of boards on the staircase need to be replaced. We've got to paint the exterior trim around the door frame. Lotto, anyone?
