  • Sometimes progress looks like a garbage bag full of wallpaper.

    Not long ago the bedrooms were dominated by a layer of old panelling over a layer of even older wallpaper,  Today?  Piles on the floor headed for the garbage. 

    There’s something surprisingly satisfying about bare walls. They may not look glamorous (yet), but they represent a reset. A clean slate. This house is starting to feel happy again.

    Now the fun part begins: painting with a warm, welcoming, neutral tone that will give new occupants a beautiful canvas to create their own space.

  • Ding Ding Ding!! Correct! WALLPAPER!!!! AAUUGGHH1. Why why WHY?!!! As demo continues so do the surprises…

  • We’re deep in the demo phase trying to bring this 80s era home into this century. Wallpaper under panelling was bad enough but then there’s the dreaded textured walls! Popular back in the day but not so much now. Herculean task removing it. Not fun!!

  • We took possession of the little house in Bear in the middle of a exceptional mid-Atlantic deep freeze. Our poor little house was frozen under a layer of snow and ice. The first order of busines was getting warm air and water flowing through its arteries again. That’s done and now we’re inside working away. It’s pretty rough right now but it’s going to be a shining gem when we’re done. Here are some before pictures. Stayed turned for more.

    The outside work will have to wait until the snow and ice is gone but plenty to do inside!!
    Not very welcoming right now but this is going to be transformed into a warm and welcoming first step into a beautiful home
    This dingy neglected kitchen is going to be a clean, bright, beautiful space for cooking, baking and grabbing that morning cup of coffee
    Lots of cleanup in here but then it will become a comfy, cozy family room for movie night, sports on the big screen, or falling asleep on the couch!

    The primary bedroom has lots of potential to become a private quiet sanctuary for the new owner
