Hooray (for e-bay)

We have the bedroom almost completely primed, but still have the ceiling to do, so I'm holding off on a new post on the bedroom until that's done. So, in the mean time, I thought I'd share our most recent ebay finds:

Who the hell would buy a lot of assorted rusty hinges you ask? We would! They will look much more appropriate when we install the "new" closet doors. Some of the smaller ones will work for the hidden built-in in the bathroom, as well as the laundry hamper mentioned in the previous post. The extras will find a home somewhere else in the house eventually. Besides, for $14.00, you can't really go wrong on a lot of old hinges.

Also purchased this week is a super Art Deco 2-bulb light for the hall in front of the new bedroom closet: 

We may paint it white or silver to blend in with the rest of the finishes in the room, but I'm a little apprehensive to paint over the original finsh (if it is original) We'll see once the e-bay finds arrive in the mail this week. 

Drywall

While the Bay View Bungalow has seen lots of action lately, the blog has been collecting dust on the interwebs. So, we figured it's time for an update of some kind.

Nicole's parents came out a few weeks ago to help us hang the last of the drywall (Thanks!) and we have mudded the entire room. (though this is not reflected in all of the photos.) So, here's our progress - it's finally starting to look like a room. Also complete is the cabinet to the left of the built-in that will house our laundry hamper. When all of the wainscoting and trim are comple, it will be hidden behind a hinged panel within the wainscot.

Stay tuned for an update after we get the walls primed.
