fruit? Which wallpaper came first do you think? I wish I had time to research it. There was another beautiful wallpaper which had seaweed and coral but I couldnt get a shot of it as it was really a dangerous place to be at the time. Most of the plaster is down now so maybe the taste of it in my mouth will go away.
Other discoveries this week:
1. The window to nowhere. This is a window in the kitchen on the west wall which is about 1/2" away from my neighbor's exterior wall. The window must have predated their house. Another research project.
2.
The full fireplace in the Family Room was exposed and it looks terrific. Now the question is, do we leave the brick exposed or make it more formal with drywall? Someone is going to have to take a wire brush to it to see if it can look a little less distressed. Also, the euro laminate was pulled up and the wood floors look pretty good except for a plethora of nail holes.
3. There were pocket doors in the walls between the Entry and the Living Room at some point. It is sad that they aren't there anymore. A trip to the local architectural salvage place, Caravati's, is in order to determine what to do with these openings now.
Next week framing begins and after that whole house air conditioning can't be far behind. The window units are holding up well in the heat of Richmond's summer. We're off to explore the beaches in Virginia Beach this weekend. Have a great weekend.
