No more rose wallpaper

lisa May 19th, 2003

We had a very productive weekend. We, and our new roommate Peter, worked on Peter’s bedroom. It used to be the Rose Bedroom because of the wallpaper, but since the wallpaper’s all gone now, I guess we’ll just call it Peter’s room. We stripped the paper and put up wall board on one wall where the plaster was shot, and we repaired the existing walls and put up a new ceiling. Now it just needs to be painted.

We also had the electrician here on Saturday, doing some finish work. We now have a temporary kitchen set up in the mudroom, and we have lights in the great room and kitchen. Mark did a beautiful job on the track lighting in the kitchen and recessed lights in the great room. I was very skeptical about using such modern lighting in this house, but I have to admit, it looks really good.

    Enjoyed reading all the updates on the house and your work. I had seen all the pictures but it’s fun looking at them again. Can’t wait to see everything in person this summer. Love, Mom

    Cool house! Looking forward to one day seeing you two in person. Trisha and I are in the process of looking for a ‘fixer upper’ like yours, but Galveston has a very limited market in desirable neighborhoods.

    Keep up the good work!
