More trim talk

We’re headed to pick up the sample piece of stripped trim this evening- I’m quite excited, and am keeping my fingers crossed that it looks good. After a slow couple of hours of trim stripping last night I’m ready to be done with that phase- or to at least see some progress. Although I am getting somewhere, spending two hours getting paint out from between cracks doesn’t look like much when you’re done. My original plan was to strip all the woodwork in the living room then do all the staining at once and so on, but I think I need a boost so I might focus on getting one area cleaned and stained just to see how it’ll look. I’m coming to recognize how much those little boosts help- I try to balance out the monotonous work with things that will help me see the end product. That’s probably why we’ve had a ceiling fan sitting in a box on our living room floor for a month. On that note, here are a couple of our fabulous bargains we’ve gotten that help contribute to that vision of the final product in my mind. May I present our ceiling fan and the desk that we somehow magically found at a warehouse sale for more than 80% off.
