HSH Interior Renovation Update

Cloudy, cool day in Dublin today. The picture on the left is the Page house at Christmas. The bathroom cabinet above the toilet was installed this morning, along with completion of trimwork around the shower area. I finished my Christmas decorating of the house however John needs to do some additional decorating. I put up a beautiful little tree in the masterbedroom but he needs to put up the main tree. The white icicle lights need some bulb changes. I have one white light candle light in every window of the front part of the house. I have wreaths with red bows with white lights on the front doors and red bows on the outside porch area. John is thinking about putting white lights on the bushes that flank either side of the house.

We went to Home Depot today to finish our purchases so that we can bid on the total price to get a discount so that we can get whatever we may need in the second bid once the first bid closes. It is a little complicated in explaining. We are trying to get the most for our money for what we need for the house. John, being the accountant, does extremely well with numbers and negotating, so I will leave that up to him. Painted the first coat of white paint in the utility closet last night. A second coat tonight, hopefully, will be applied.  There are a few small things needed for the bathroom but the major stuff is done. We can take a shower, use the sink like modern people do :)

A few pictures I took in the last couple of days. Dublin is gearing up for Christmas. The historic district and downtown are coming alive.  Check out some of the pictures below of some of the historic homes here in Dublin.

The Nativity Scene above is displayed on city property at the Dublin City Hall. What a beautiful sight. The beauty of living in a small town. It is Christmas!

It took me awhile to get the look on the stairs and on the upstairs landing the way it shows above. We need a few pictures on the walls though. We need another coat of yellow paint before we do that. We also plan to incorporate a beautiful shade of green to compliment the yellow. John loved the yellow so much he painted the entire upstairs/downstairs hallway yellow. We need to break up the yellow and the white trim with a pretty shade of green. Stay tuned for progress updates on that. Enjoy the pictures. Keep checking my blog for updates.
