Back to the Long Hall

We've been working.

Do you remember the Long Hall?
And remember my Darling Demo Dave. Well, he has been a busy boy.
Up went the carpet and down came the wall paper.

Then we had the ceilings drywalled because of the falling plaster.

Next the cracked walls were fixed and then we painted.

And painted and painted and painted some more.

Dave refinished the floors and then the fun began
Between trips back and forth I was sewing. I had enough fabric to go half the distance of a football field. With each window measuring 140 inches top to bottom and each window needing 2 panels I knew we could not afford this project right now. So what I decided to do just may be something that will work for some of you. I purchased the insulated lining for curtains. It was $5.99 less my 40% off coupon at JoAnn Fabrics. It is a perfect weight and almost, a little bit, well sort of if you look really hard and with wishful eyes, looks like velvet. I sewed 10 panels.
On a shopping trip for my shop we stopped in Madison GA and I found these 2 vintage lace valances. They have been waiting for me to find the perfect spot. So I topped the panels with them.
And the long hall is starting to take shape.
This old rug is really worn but I love the colors in it. It never fails when I go to Eufaula no matter how well I plan I forget something or it is still being used in our home in FL so it will be interesting to see how time will change this Shabby Old House.

I will be posting the bathroom on Saturday. Can you guess why?

Pink Saturday!
