There aren't many
old photos
of this room
because it
was pretty much
a catch all room
It did have blue/grey
indoor outdoor carpet
we tore up
under it was this
lovely green linoleum
so we decided to pull it all up
and redo the wood floor
if it was in good shape
UNTIL......
(why is there always
an until in old houses)
we noted a square
pattern in the linoleum
thinking it might be
a trap door
(don't you love our imagination)
as we pulled it up
we noticed soot on the edges
The new boards are
wider than the old
boards and instead
of replacing the whole length
they cut a square area out
We thought redo then
put a carpet but
it is in a very odd place
soooooo
back to the drawing board
and at this point we
are thinking abt painting
the floor a dk walnut color
but it won't be until
the summer
when we can open it all up
