Centennial update

In the midst of all this remodeling and the ever growing boundaries of the project we realized that the house will be 100 years old next year and this will be the centennial update that it deserves to both bring out its history and make it more functional in this modern world. Seems easier to justify the scope of the work we are doing knowing this bit of information. We plan on a centennial celebration when the whole deal is finished so everyone can see the final product.

In uncovering the Douglas fir wood floors, we decided to keep and refinish them rather than install new bamboo floors in the spirit of doing this as green as possible and bringing the house's history into plain view. They seem in pretty good shape overall. A few variations in color from years of use, but it all just adds character, eh?

Brown teepee on the walls ready for the cabinets.

BAM! Cabinets delivered.
