Bedroom

The bedroom was a disaster when we bought the house. The two windows had water damage and needed to be replaced. The previous owner had already bought the windows and left them at the house, uninstalled. There was also a bunch of random stuff for the bathroom in the bedroom, including new plastic pieces for the shower. The radiator in the bedroom had been painted blue and purple. The closets in the bedrooms were added later. The original closet is still in the new closet. The new closet is very large and will work much better than what they had 100 years ago. One of the first things Paul and his dad did together at the house was installing the new windows. They also had to repair some woodwork. Paul spray painted the radiator white. I had to repair a few parts of the walls that had water damage. I also caulked between the walls and the drywall ceiling, that was put in some time before we bought the house. I painted the bedroom blue, which apparently Paul does not like. Of course, he did not tell me this before we bought the paint. In the closet, there is a tiny room (3 x 3) above the old closet. Paul installed drywall and finished that area. We painted the rest of the closet and installed our new closet system. It is so pretty! Paul was trying to refinish the closet doors but they are not turning out so well. At this point, I think we may just use fabric panels for doors right now and maybe buy new closet doors at some point. There is not too much left to do in the bedroom. Mostly touch up paint and refinishing floors.
