Front sitting room



Here is the front sitting room. It is the room to the right as you enter our house. As you can see, we decided to remove the pink wallpaper, curtains, carpet and shutters. The floor was very interesting...at first glance it did not look like wood...it looked more like linoleum from a distance. But, after some very careful sanding and finishing, we have a magnificent hand laid parquet, rift and quartered white oak floor!

P.S. Ditto on the stair railing. Perfect.

Did you paint or remove paint from the stair raining? I have something similar but I'm not sure how to go about making it look good. Thanks!

Good call on removing the shutters and painting the walls- it's so bright and inviting now!
