Renovation Style

I have been obsessed lately with older houses which have been renovated and retain much of their original architecture. I found all of these rooms on the website of "This Old House".

The renovated bathroom in a 1925 Oregon bungalow. Small space, but looks very efficient.

This is the master bath in a 1963 ranch home. Small, but very pretty.

The owners took out a wall to enlarge the kitchen and painted over the existing fir floor. Notice the 10 ft. high ceiling!

This kitchen, as well as the rest of the home, has 11 ft. ceilings! I love the light, open feeling of this kitchen~the cozy chair would be perfect for a cup of tea and a good book.

There must be something going on with me and high ceilings today. This is a renovated kitchen in a 150-year-old farmhouse in Louisiana. Perfect right down to the cute dog sleeping on the rug!

Pictures of Floor Progress

Sorry it has taken me so long to post pictures of the floor. Both Al and I have been busy with college enrollment, financial aid forms, and numerous other things. But we worked for a few hours today on the floor, and we are about half way finished! We like how it's turning out and hope to get it done within the next few days. It sure is hard on the back and knees though~but well worth it!

Come back in a couple of days for more pictures!
