I forgot to take an overall interior picture. I guess I was so focused on the exterior, I forgot all about the interior before pictures with the exception of that one room above. But all rooms had old papers removed and new ones installed except for bottom two center rooms which had previously been a dirty stucco that we cleaned and repainted bright white.

AFTER: all interior rooms were repainted or rewallpapered |
|
AFTER: Flooring all replaced |
|
AFTER: So amazing! |
Several customer houses are waiting for me at work to finish, but I am only working on them during work hours so that I may still work on my own projects at home. I have been invited back to display my miniatures at the Green Springs Holiday Open House again this year so I feel like I should be working on finishing up some of my smaller projects to display there. And my Mansion is calling me: I am certain I can get the exterior mostly done before the end of the year! A blog entry about my Mansion will be posted in a month or so (if I can fit it in between my BFF's visit and our trip to the Philly show! and my sister's baby shower and the arrival of my niece in late Nov/early Dec). Happy Halloween, my friends!
