Ocean Hill Reno: Renovation Plans, Interrupted

We had some grand plans to paint the bedroom and other rooms, put moldings back into place, strip the kitchen woodwork, and plaster throughout the house. We did strip the bedroom in June, and so it was completely empty and ready to paint. But then we got bedbugs from a hotel. All renovation came to a standstill. We had to put all our possessions in black garbage bags, which completely filled the empty room. The bedbugs are gone, but we are still sorting through the black bags. And now we’re $3,000 poorer.
