OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS (ALMOST) IN THE NEW HOUSE
 |
| At least I put up a tree... |
 |
| And an outside view after an early snowfall... |
 |
| My Grandmother's tacky Bubble Lights...wouldn't be Christmas without them! |
NOW, Here's a few "Before and After" shots of the Dining Room and the Station Agent's Office, a.k.a. second bedroom:
Dining Room...closet on left is gone, now an open hallway. I used the shelving from the closet for baseboard around the tiled floor! We will be moving the "Star Trek" light from our living room at the current house to this dining room. I don't think Joyce realized that these were Southern Pacific Railroad colors when she chose them!
And the Station Agent's Room, sans the pink carpet and pending the chair-rail between the two tone green...Erie RR Colors...walls. The train will run above the doorway and through the display case over the window. Hmmm...Grandma had a '57 Fairlane the same colors!However, wouldn't it be nice to have a working bathroom? The hold up...at least upstairs...is what-to-do with the bathroom ceiling which is mostly "bare" sheetrock since the paper and a coat of glossy white paint chipped off. A tin ceiling would be great but we're fresh out of money and enthusiasm...soooo.....any suggestions?
Just in case I don't update the blog in the next two weeks....Merry Christmas to Everyone!
