Antiseptically White

The master suite is coming along and it looks like we'll meet the deadline for the floor guy to do his work starting on the 22nd of June.  Meanwhile the garden is screaming for us to come out and play, but we have to place all of our efforts here for now! 

After the wall was completed, it was grouted.



The room was then cleaned up of the mess created from weeks of plastering and sanding.



Cleaned up, but still a lot more to accomplish!



First, new baseboards had to go in.  The old ones were a mess and complicated by the fact of making one large space out of two. 



From the beginning of this renovation, we have used or reused original materials whenever possible, however, this was one instance where we were unable to.  Ditto for the baseboard cap.  Fortunately, we found a craftsman who could reproduce the original for us!



So, for weeks plaster was applied and sanded (and sanded, and sanded, and...!!!)...



...and baseboards and other woodwork sanded smooth...



...and now, finally, the space is caulked and primed.







Next up:  It's Color Time!

wow; i had no idea you had to do all that with the baseboards, etc. and, although i wasn't on team paint-the-brick at first, it does look better that way.
