| Before moving in. Can you spot the ceiling fan with no blades? |
 |
| After The plywood walls and a closet were removed to reveal 9 original windows that are almost 6' tall each |
 |
| Ceiling after first coat of primer. Notice all the gaps? |
 |
| Ceiling after caulking and painting |
 |
| A work in progress. But the ceiling is done, the fan has blades, the windows are uncovered, the walls have been sanded and primed, andthe Snoopy closet is gone! |

During renovation...
 |
| A paint stripping mess in the room formerly occupied by the Easter Bunny |
 |
| Before sanding the floors. I also exposed 9 windows that are almost 6' tall each! The remaining pink was where the built in bed was. The closet was where the drum sander is. |
 |
| After the first run with the drum sander. The green and yellow wall was where the bookshelf once was. |
Peace. Finally.
 |
| The Hermann Miller chair is a Dodge family heirloom. The matching Hermann Miller table is from the Cullen house on River Oaks Boulevard, which was a gift from a decorator friend. Both are collector's items. |
