The Dirty House (The Miracle on 42nd Street)

some before and after photos




















My paint stripping project is coming along on the built in pantry. I have finished the drawers (right) and removed the paint from the bin pulls.







I am still working on removing the wallpaper in the bathroom. Thankfully, wallpaper wasn't covering most of the walls. There is some ancient wallpaper in the 2 existing closets, but this has to be even less fun than cleaning....





Above is the nearly finished bedroom floor, prior to painting of walls and trim. This was the "blue" room with the nasty carpet and layer of some sort of faux wood laminate. I can't believe it...


Joe painting the bedroom walls a very light salmon pink faux finish and trim in a light brown- without overhead light fixtures (or any fixtures yet) it's tough to photograph some areas of the house.




Here's what the heat registers looked like before.... and now...not the best photo, but the registers look like brand new, yet old.
The walls are painted a variety of shades of white to take advantage of the little light that gets in, it's hard to see the texture in these photos.


Once the awful porch is demolished and restored to what it should be, there will be more light in the living room.

  • I saw that but it looked a bit pricey-much cheaper to employ the significant other into hard, manual labor...

  • Commercial and Industrial premises are now choosing 2-pack epoxy floor coating system over their old sealed concrete floors. The reasons being maintenance, chemical resistance, safety non-slip, hygiene, moisture blocking and appearance.
