This
is the window
facing east
- when she
looked out
the north
facing window
Cora saw a
row of pigeons
on the wire
overhead and
she is really
excited about
finding birds
out there
now. She found
this view
disappointing,
although I
like it very
well. |
|
| When
I started to
strip the wallpaper
I found that
the surface
for part of
that wall wasn't
plaster as I'd
expected. It's
a sort of paneling
with a wood-printed
surface. The
paper came off
readily, if
not easily,
with hot water
and a sharp
scraper. It
turns out that
the wall was
added in order
to create the
closet and the
built-in dresser
... you might
be able to see
the original
wallpaper on
the plaster
wall where the
top drawer is
out. |
 |
| This
is what the
top layer of
paper looks
like - it's
easy to read
some strange
stuff into the
imagery, but
I took it down
because it's
in poor shape,
and of course
i'm not really
a fan of wallpaper. |
|
| Here's
the paper underneath
- cute cute
cute. |
 |
| Making
good progress
- it's plaster
to the right
of the dresser.
It doesn't appear
to have ever
been painted,
maybe the original
wallpaper was
stripped off
for the cute
little animals
paper? |
 |
| Continued
progress ... |
 |
| Paper
removed, undersurface
washed, and
crown molding
pulled off.
Ready for patching. |
 |
| It
didn't take
the cats any
time at all
to get used
to having the
bed upstairs
... Jake had
so much trouble
adjusting to
the initial
move - from
West road to
Elm street -
but he's OK
now. |
 |
| Another
photo of the
tub. |
|
| The
bathroom ...
I found an amaryllis
bulb for half
price after
the holidays
... it grew
and bloomed
in about a week.
The bathroom
must have good
conditions for
flowers ... |
