I snapped a few pictures of our latest project, the rental house in Port Angeles. It's a small bungalow. The corner windows feel odd to me, out of balance, but it seems to have been the construction style from the period these were built. There are many like it around town, built for workers in the various mills that no longer operate.
The back door is at the alley side of the house. Bob replaced the broken panel to the area under the house with a door (below) and is putting metal skirting around the house. That unpainted piece of wood above the door is the first of many... we are going to put them up on all the walls in a board and batten look for a coastal style. The roof is scheduled to be replaced next month with wood shakes on the bumped out areas. Will have to update when that happens.
Here's the kitchen before...
And after painting, new LED light in ceiling. More work to be done in here eventually but for now it's livable. That's our old 'frig, much too big for this house but will do nicely until it dies and I can put a counter depth model in.
This is the living room before. The ceilings had glossy paint that had to go.
We went with gray walls, white ceiling, minus the shine. We kind of like the feel of the room without the window boxes but will get curtains eventually.
A gray blue in the two bedrooms.
We found these chairs for $17 each! They're solid wood but the seats were covered in dirty cotton fabric. I gave Jason a quick lesson on recovering them with upholstery fabric. He finished the job in a few hours and has two beautiful chairs now.
Bringing in some veggies for dinner. I'm also working on my third batch of currant jelly. This time adding jalapeno peppers for a hot jelly.
