Windsor Terrace Reno

Traveling back to before we started renovating, the very top floor of the house was a separate apartment while the lower two floors was the owners’ duplex. (I use these terms loosely as I have a hard time truly calling any space without working plumbing a duplex but I digress). The top floor apartment had what some might call a “kitchen” (again, using term loosely).

Since our plan was to reconfigure the space and make the top floor our bedrooms, the “kitchen” had to go. Before the construction really started, Mr. Limestone did some of his own “demo” by carefully removing the leaded glass doors and removing the disgustng floor to determine if there was hardwood underneath.

Then during the reno, this room became a sort of garage for extra parts. The clawfoot lived in here for a few months as did the marble top for our master bath vanity.

This room doesn’t have the same wow transformation as the kitchen or bathrooms but I think it came out pretty well. The things that were done in here: removed cabinets, wallpaper, old lino floors, new window, recessed lights, electrical outlets, crown molding, skim coat, floors sanded and poly, paint.

This floor had the most damage and wonky repairs. There are patches where its laid in a different direction and there is one larger black blob from what I presume is water damage. I considered painting it (I love a painted floor) but it turned out better than I expected so I think I’ll just leave it. It might get a rug if its lucky.

I think we are pretty much done right now short of a few boring touch ups. I plan on doing another couple of posts about how the bathrooms turned out but I think thats pretty much it. If anyone has any specific requests for a post topic, let me know. Otherwise Im very close to being over and out! Woo-hoo.
