Since leaving the big city behind almost a year ago our old farmhouse has been in a pretty constant state of renovation. And the dust and noise and fumes continue on. The only room that didn’t (or doesn’t) require pretty extensive reno was the living room. With the exception of a popcorn ceiling that we replaced the original details of this room are still pretty much intact. Its original oak wainscotting was beautifully preserved. Even the old damask wallpaper was in excellent condition. When we moved in every single room in the house was coated in wallpaper, some very nice, some very very bad. All of it had to go. All but the classic raised blue. It wasn’t going anywhere. Here are a few details from the farm livin’ room.

ReplyDeleteAmazing house. Renovations can be both fun and frustrating. But, the discovery during the demo portions are priceless!! I know this from personal experience--good luck with the house, and I will continue to watch. I am going to list your sites on my blog reading list. I am certain that I have read an issue of Coupe in Dallas. Brilliant!!!!!
Glad to know you.

Thanks, Robert. We'll be posting more shots, slightly wider angle next time! Kitchen posts next. Slowly working on the barn which is a challenge. Just added American Antler.
ReplyDeleteThat demask wallpaper is absolutely fantastic.
ReplyDeleteColleen, definitely was worth saving.
