Warning- this post contains nothing pretty. The fun part comes next!
Flashback to a year ago. Time to paint the 3rd floor. Something easy to check off the list (or so we thought). After a few failed paint samples, a call to Molly Hirsch Interiors resulted in a color palette that worked beautifully for the space, and not at all the initial direction (this is why calling in the experts is always a good idea).
The crisp new color scheme now called attention to the existing wall to wall. So, a project within a project is born (there should be a word for that).
Seems every house we buy has some 20 plus year old carpeting to remove. Time to teach the kids how to cut, roll and dispose of carpeting. Or should I say show the kids how to do it and then complete the project ourselves.
Alas, the corner that led us to believe the floors were in great shape, made way to floors that needed lots of TLC. Time to refinish.
The outcome, a fresh new look for an old space.
Next: the results, room by room.
