Details

While we still have a lot of work to do on the inside of the house before it's "done", we've begun to focus on some of the smaller projects that we've been meaning to get around to. The milk chute has been on that list for a while, as we plan to use it as a place for keys since it's next to the door.

I stripped the inside when we first moved in, while I was in my "looking for something to do" stage of new homeownership, (before we had any concrete plans for the upstairs renovation). Nicole spent part of Saturday finishing what I started by painting the inside and creating a custom stencil.

Apart from the fact that it's a cool detail, Nicole also did the stencil as a dry run for our plans to create some sort of Art Deco inspired border stencil for the cetral hall and stairwell.

There's more to come now that we're not undergoing a major renovation and planning a wedding. We've also decided to try to make the blog a little more informational by adding a local resources section on the side. Time will tell if that's useful, as we don't have any followers here in Milwaukee, but as we update the blog  we hope to transition it into something that's a bit more informational for other Bungalow / old house owners and figured that would be a good start.
