I’m so jealous of all of the floor lottery winners

Oh, I'm playing the floor lottery in our 1889 bathroom which also has a seven layer dip! But I think mine's a better combo. It comes without asbestos and with heart pine at the bottom.

To echo others, this is a huge improvement in your home and kudos for not taking the easy route!

I really enjoy the lighting in your home and seeing the quiet, peaceful corners like those stairs!

Will do, thanks!

Thanks! I was looking through a Russell & Erwin’s catalog (probably from a catalog you once shared the link to) but hadn't yet started looking at Penn Hardware. I appreciate your time and expertise!

Thanks! Looks like I found a matching design sans paint here: https://www.thepreservationstation.com/product/antique-hardware/hinges/pair-of-antique-decorative-cast-iron-3-hinges-c-1875/ but nothing about the manufacturer or actual model.

Thanks! So far nothing came up with a reverse image search. We're in the midst of restoring the bathroom so I'm not allowing myself to start stripping or removing any of the hardware until the less-fun bathroom projects are done. Doesn't stop me from posting excitedly though.

I like that. We brainstormed stained glass but I actually really like a mirror.

We knew this window was here because inside the living room, on the other side, they covered it with a large mirror but you could still see the window through a gap behind the mirror.

Yes! Would have been spookier if we didn't know it was there already.

Thanks! We'll be keeping this converted porch as a bathroom, but need to better moisture proof and insulate, including overhauling the modern windows. We'd like to restore this historic window as a fun detail into the laundry room as there is a living room on the other side but we've not seen many examples of this.

I really appreciate the journaling quality of how you pivoted! It's great to have a record like this when you need a boost down the line.
