The Bathroom is DONE!!!

We just need to get the curved shower curtain rod hung, and a new floor eventually. Since this picture was taken, I added a more appropriate window treatment :) as well as a grey shower curtain.

One set of steps, lots of footprints

So. Darn. Cool.



Great-Great-Grandpa Savinetti (who built the house), around the late 20's or early 30's, in front of the house, with wooden steps.


(Great-grandpa) Papa Joe and (Grandpa) Ralph, on his confirmation day, in the early-1960's. Concrete steps, storm door, no handrails.


The outside of the house, present day (2007). Stone and slab steps, handrails, newer storm door, same front door. The wooden front porch is being sanded. I need to do a pic with Papa Joe, Papa Ralph, little Ralph, and Jake next! (great-grandfather, grandfather, father, son)

Upstairs living room

We are turning one of the upstairs bedrooms into our sitting room. We "de-pinked" the place, painted it the same neutral color as the rest of the downstairs, pulled off the window treatments, pulled up the rose-colored carpet, refinished the floors (how gorgeous are they???!!), took down the mirror, and painted all trim and woodwork white. I LOVE this room!!

In its former life, as a bedroom (although before that, it was a living room)



Sanding the floors:



Just need some furniture and finishing touches:

Kitchen, In Progress

Lots of wallpaper removal, lots of white paint, and what I like to call "Naturewood Green."
