you live well and looks like you love well too and that is the best of all things the lord provides...ride safe
well, ya gotta go up the stairs to get upstairs! All that wood, covered in paint! took untold hours and the last bit of patience on my part to refinish them, in fact if you see natural wood in any of these pictures, it was painted over when I bought the house...
thats the landing at the top of the stairs..
thats the back bedroom, went so far as to get period car brochures and coins/trolley tokens for the top of the dresser! the bedroom set has been in the family for over ninety years
heres the master bedroom with the wood ceiling and the gas stove i installed to keep things toasty on those new england winter nights
a few old pieces, but mostly new...who would of thought?
heres the front bedroom that we turned into a sitting room if you can make out the woman in the wedding gown in the photo on the wall, thats my grandmother,my wife wore the same dress when we were married, my great uncle Art{grandmas brother} was at our wedding, the only one who saw the gown worn twice
great guy, he really lived, lots of adventures, i could listen to those stories for hours, wish he was still around....
the stereo in that room is a modern tube amplifier, if you are really into your music and enjoy true sound reproduction, check one out, you won't be dissapointed, not to mention they leave the tubes exposed....nothing like a drink and some sinatra on a cold winters night with the soft glow coming from the tubes!
