living room remodel started today

just a reminder guys I am not a carpenter , I do not nor have I ever done this sort of stuff for a living

I guess the point of this is to never doubt what you can accomplish with some hard work a little research and a whole lot of patients

nothing to show at this point as we just started today and all that entails like taking down all the decorations , curtains , blinds removing nails/screws from the walls etc and paint work has started on window sills / frames and baseboard but thats it nothing " wow factor" yet hopefully that will happen once we get under way with my new idea on how this room is going to look and the things I plan on doing ( it better look good a lot of work has went into the planning and $$ acquiring materials )

we will see fingers crossed

paint work on walls complete ..... not gonna show it , not sure we even like it .... will know more once we start the next part .....

hint ......

mind you this house was standing here ( and a post office prior to the civil war ) so a very old house going for a more authentic look for the period

a repaint coming tomorrow ... first 2 colors didnt make the grade .... this next one better because I am done buying paint !

not 100% happy with paint but its gonna have to do for now ,,,,don't mind the mess out the window you get that when remodeling LOL ( building materials )

the floor is the old ..... , once all the walls are done going to take a break and then put new flooring down

trim is gold , for whatever reason looks yellow in pics

will get some updated pics up later when wife gets home .... damn this is a lot of work lol

no updates today as no work was done , Youngest sons had his girl to hospital in labor so we watched our 2 year old grandson while we became grandparents again to a healthy 8 pound 5 oz little boy

thank you

Back to work !!

debating on floor ( these boards are just loose laid for a visual )
