House Work

  Hey y'all here is the promised post of what we've been up to with the house.  Right now we are working on stripping the kitchen and as you can see in the second photo when I say we are stripping it I mean everything right down to the studs and floor joists.

One really cool thing we have discovered is that all of the original walls and ceilings in the house are finished with six inch tongue and groove pine paneling.  We have to take all of it down so we can properly insulate the walls, but we are hoping to be able to put a lot of it back up because we just love the way it looks and plus it will preserve some of the historical aspects of the house.

The last two pictures are some of our "finds" in the house.  I just love the old glass door knobs though we were a little sad it was the only old knob left in the house.  The last picture is of some of the old wall paper they found in the dining room.  I really love the print and color of the paper.  If it hadn't been so disintegrated  I would have saved it for raping paper or some other project.

I will try to keep you all more updated with what is going on around here.
