Entry Room Progress

We’ve begun our third year owning our project house. Let’s take a look back at the last two years and everything we’ve done complete with a done list. Here’s our entry room

What we’ve done so far:

• Tore up the stained, torn carpet
• Sanded the floor with hand sanders because we didn’t want to take off too much of the wood on our original to the house maple floor
• Changed out all the outlets and replaced the covers with pretty copper ones
• Changed out all the light switches and replaced the covers with pretty copper ones
• Took down the ceiling fan and put up a light we got on sale (post here)
• Ripped down the falling tile ceiling and drywalled a new ceiling in (post here)
• Took down the lace curtains and put up other placeholder curtains (update since the picture below – I keep changing out the curtains in here for different ones hoping that something will just hit me and I’ll love it)
• Painted the ceiling with basic Sherwin-Williams white ceiling paint (post here)
• Repaired a lot of cracks in the plaster using lightweight spackle like this one
• Painted the walls with Sherwin-Williams latte paint in Cashmere low luster finish
• Put up some art that shows our hometown pride (this post)
• Replaced the old wooden front door with an energy efficient insulated metal one

I’m feeling a little bit better about what we have done and what we still need to do now. I hope you’ll continue to come by and watch as we renovate and rejuvenate our house. Check out how all the rooms started out on my “Tour – From the Beginning” page.
