At one time, this house was a duplex. Nevaeh's room used to be the kitchen in the upstairs apartment, but the owner before had already converted back to a single home.....See the stove outlet near the baseboard on the right side? Here's the before.....
Here's the after! The wall color is more of a mint green, not the lime green shown in the picture.
The original stained woodwork was beautiful, but nicked up. Courtney didn't want to paint it, so we stripped it down and started from scratch....and then back to the original dark stain color. It was hard work, but worth it! The floors are all original and wooden, but.....the kids wanted warmth and a sound barrier from the top floor to the first floor, so they put carpet down. They did keep all original wood floors on the first floor (no carpet)!
See the spot on the ceiling?
Someone signed the ceiling back in 1902!
We didn't keep the ceiling graffiti, but we did take a picture of it for memories. Grandpa Baker stomped the ceiling for a cleaner look. Since the changing table isn't needed, we decided to use it for the for stuffed animals instead!
I forgot to take a picture from this angle, but I did get a straight shot on the long wall to the left.
The bookshelf!
