I guess it's a bit impractical to leave it like that?! Beautiful! Oh wow, I LOVE that old wallpaper showing through underneath the crumbly plaster.

More power to you and your troop. But your treasures are so wonderful! I hope you consider saving a framable chunk of that aged wall paper with the peeling paint and old wood, it is really gorgeous; such layers of time! Yikes! More power to you and your troop.

They don't call it a "labour of love" for nothing - it's hard work! But you will be so happy once you are done. Not only will you have preserved the character and soul of a beautiful old house but you will know that you did it yourself. Soon you will be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour - a house many people will envy! I think you are so gutsy for taking on a project like this.

I actually left my house behind and moved just to escape the overwhelming sense that our house would always be "in process" and never finished. I started blaming my spouse for not working faster. Felt guilty if we did anything else besides work on the house. Now I miss it. I think that the idea of creating an oasis in the midst of greater chaos is a wise suggestion. I also think that adopting a bit of Mark and Sally Bailey's aesthetic (just leave that scraped woodwork as it is!) might save my sanity. It's hard. As is ignoring all those "helpful" souls who keep asking if you're finished yet. Bon Courage! Your words sound so familiar to me.

Create your own small oasis in a grand scale reno. The clocks are going to be moving forward soon and the weather will be getting warmer. Hopefully that will inject some new energy into the project.
