I killed it...........

Is this just the strangest coincidence! Today I completely stripped out the Kensington and tomorrow I'll use the shell as a pattern to cut new wood.......I didn't do a pic but right now we are neck and neck........stranger still that these are both our first builds!

Go for it Chris!

Say whaaat? I just looked at the entire gallery from start to this. What possessed you to rehab your lovely original finishes? 

Well, let's just say that my skill level when I started the Worthington were not what they are today. The humidity had all the wallpaper making waves - figuratively and literally, I'm afraid. So, I decided a major overhaul is needed and maybe this time around I will finish it. At least that's the plan for now.

Also, I found windows that almost fit and they look so much better than what came with the house, so they will go in. Right now, I'm hunting for a front door to go with them. I'm currently using all my baking sheets to soak veneer for wall panels, I have a ton of light fixtures I want to wire in - tons of stuff to do with the house.

But most importantly: I need to decide what furniture goes in so I can choose the right wallpaper. That was such a drama last time.... 

It pained me to see the missing parquet, but now I look forward to the re-do. :)

Believe me, I just about cried about the parquet floor - it took forever to make........
