Last weeks Sedaris Hardwoods sanded, stained, and satin-coated our red pine parquet floors.

These floors hadn't been sanded since their installation over sixty-three years ago.

These vent boxes come apart. I spray painted the frame and vent blades with black enamel and, as shown in this photo, used a dark bronze metallic finish for the covers. Tomorrow I'll put them in place. |
The house looks great! From my earliest memories, I can't recall a time not knowing that house. The house had been in my family for generations, I guess. I'm Ted's and Rena's youngest daughter. If you don't mind and if it is convenient for you, the next time I am in Raleigh, can I come see?
ReplyDeleteHi Courtney - yes! You and your family are welcome to stop by anytime. The house has a great spirit and we loved hearing stories from your mom and aunt. We are officially moving in this weekend! If you need to get in touch my email is sumner.tracy2@gmail.com.
