Before the painters arrived to transform the maison, we had a few jobs to attend to on the second floor (first floor for our UK readers)
Our master bedroom featured the final portion of the delightful pine paneling
This is our bedroom fireplace, which is original, but treated shoddily with a terrible dark stain
Beneath the paneling lay many cobwebs, a few ex-critters and some lovely old beams full of character
All of the walls on this floor required much plasterwork, sanding and cleaning
There were gaps through to the attic and between rooms
The walls were the color of rancid butter; the color of sadness. Many had never been painted and were raw discolored plaster
The pine floor had never been treated, and displayed a fine array of stains and scratches
This is the closet half painted. A fine example of how the dark ceilings sucked light out of the rooms, creating a general dinginess
