New window seat
Ready to paint...
There's a new coat of paint on the window seat, but now we've made a mess on the floor.
We decided that the bathroom floor looked pretty bad, so we started by moving the claw foot tub to pull the tiles up behind it...
And when we did, we realized that the 3 boards closest to the wall were rotted. We pulled them up (with our bare hands-- that's how rotted they were) and replaced them.
Pulling the old vinyl tiles up was a mess. They were laid in the 60s when there was no such thing as adhesive vinyl tile, so the folks put down tar paper and stuck them to that! This is a picture of the floor after the tile was pulled up. Any remaining tar had to be scraped up in order to put new tile down. Yuck!
So...here it is! We'll start from the bottom of the stairs and go up...

This is a little curtain I made to divide the living area from the storage since there's no door there currently.
