Duane never does what I want. . .

I wanted to post random pictures of things that I thought were interesting in the new house. Duane seems to think that this blog is supposed to be about renovating the new house and the progress we make, as well as the things we learn along the way. So, while he's at work, here are some of my interesting pictures. . .

My hidden closet. When we pulled down the paneling in our bedroom, there was a covered door. This is what it turned out to be- I was really hoping for some skeletons, but no such luck.


A close-up of the beautiful? wall paper in that bedroom.
This is how they had the door covered, with paneling over the top of that. Actually, I think Duane had already pulled off one of the vertical boards in this picture- it appeared that they REALLY wanted that sucker secured.

This is an old chair I found in the basement. Desperately in need of help, but still pretty cool.

We decided to expose the old brick chimney to add some texture to the living and day rooms.

It was more difficult than Cora makes it look here.

An example of the trim around outside of the windows. One of the best points of the house for me.

That does it for today. Next time I get a chance- Duane and his brother John trying to fit the trash ramp up the inside stairs!
