I'm back... I'm back. Sorry for my lack of blogging! There was lots to do our last week in Birmingham and this past week as we settled in.
You may remember this post where I showed photos of the downstairs before the work started. Here are a few of the upstairs... before shots as well as some progress.
Everything upstairs has been painted (BM's White Dove- all walls, ceilings, & trim) and when the carpet was pulled up... original hardwoods were revealed. The refinishing of those will start tomorrorw and a new stair rail will go in and then the upstairs will be 99% complete. We plan to live upstairs once this work is done.
Before:
And as we make progress (still waiting on floors to be refinished, new stair rail, and new light fixtures):
The bedroom below had a bookshelf over the middle window which we removed. Now I am just waiting for them to remove the panel that was mounted to the exterior side:
We weren't planning on gutting this bathroom (just yet) but we ran into some issues with the plumbing interfering with the kitchen ceiling so we went ahead and cleaned this room out!
And a shot from the upstairs balcony:
Come back tomorrow for some progress photos of the downstairs!

I can't wait to see what you do. The house is going to be amazing! Love the upstairs balcony! So southern!!
I just painted my entire kitchen (trim, walls, and cabinets) white dove. I'm glad the color has your seal of approval, since you have such great taste! I can't wait to see your house finished!
