Things are progressing slowly but surely on Walnut Avenue. Not much happened in June but July has been a month of hard work for Mama. She and two of my cousins sanded the floors on the first and second floors. What a difference this makes! The house looks so much brighter now. Mama will finish the floors after she finishes painting the first floor.
If you are new to my blog, Walnut Avenue is the 1911 house that my mom is restoring. You can click on the “Walnut Avenue” label to see all of the progress.
Let’s look at the floors! Not many people would take on this project as DYI. Can you imagine how many bags of sawdust Mama must have removed??
Paula, I love watching the progress! Your mom and family are putting a lot of work and love into the house. I’m sure it’s going to look wonderful!
It’s looking great! Bless her heart. I hope the bathroom at least is working soon.
So cool!!! This is a work to be proud of. I love love love reading about this house!
What hard workers you all are! It is looking just great.
Wow, so much work. It is all looking fabulous. I know she must be proud. Hugs, Marty
Oh I’m so jealous Paula! How I dream of the chance to have an old home to restore! One day….

I can’t wait to see the finished project, it’s going to be absolutely stunning.
Paula, I have to tell you- I’ve never met her but I’M so proud of your Mom!! What an amazing job she’s done and what a special home this will be for your family to gather in
xoxo Pattie
You can really see the progress in this post. I love the wall color in the hallway and bedroom. What will your mother do when she is finished with all this renovation?
Paula, this is so cool! I love reading about your mom’s work on that house. She must be one spunky lady! It’ll be a lot of fun to see pictures of the house when it’s all done–you’ll have to do a huge “Before and After” post for us. 🙂
At your suggestion I did read all of the Walnut Street posts. What a daunting task! It is looking great. Mr. B and I restored an 1872 log cabin in PA. It was very rewarding, specially since most people thought it should be torn down. Nancy
