Before and Afters

OK so there is a lot of demo to be done. However in the 2nd day of demo we did discover a few beautiful gems! First i would like to point out that this beautiful curtain was the "door" to our first bedroom as a married couple. This thin plastic curtain was all we had between us and the only bathroom in the house. In the summer when we would have the window air conditioner cranked up this curtain would form condensation on it. I am not going to lie to you. I have not missed this curtain one bit since we have moved our bedroom upstairs to a room with real doors.

Any way I digress, I talking about the "gems" discovered. As you will see below it's the same door way with a bit more attitude! Look at this beautiful wall paper! Because this home has been in and out of our family for many years Todd's father has a few memories of our home as a young child. The one over whelming memory is that of wallpaper.

Ron remembers the wall paper being an inch thick on the walls. I don't know if that is true or not I'm just glad that removing wallpaper is not part of the renovation.





In the next few photos you will see what the shower looked like before and after.


As wonderful as it looks in the top photo you can see the plywood that was behind in the second picture. Todd also said that there were about 1 million nails in the plywood to make sure that it was never coming out. Todd said thus far pulling this plywood out has taken the longest.

And finally our last gem for the day- More wall paper they just make me laugh! I can't imagine having anything this wild on the walls!
