When I first started this adventure, I had grand visions of stripping all of the wood. After many Sundays spent stripping the wainscoting, plate rails and window frames... that gradually changed. It has taken me years to get to where I am. So, I changed plans... and decided not to strip the box beam ceiling. The main reason is that I would like to have a functioning dining room this year. Everything is piled in the center of the room. Table, chairs, hutch, china cabinet, etc. It will be nice to actually eat at the dining room table. What the dining room looked like during my walk-through. All the walls, windows, wainscoting and plate rails are now stripped of paint. The plan is to sand all the wood down, and use an oil to bring it back to life. I would love to shellac it, but that would probably cost a fortune. After I paint, it is going to look similar to this. I am going to distress the beams, so...
Hi hang in there , i expect it is very frustrating though. You must be the closest you have ever been now xxxxx
