I haven't done much more work on the house recently. The last big job was getting the roof redone, and they screwed up the job. I had specified that I wanted the same ones as before (slate gray) but they put black, which isn't what I wanted. Not the end of the world, but I was not pleased at all. There's only two rooms left to do in the house and they involve hiring more outside professionals, and I can never trust anyone to do a good job these days. I'm fearing yet another botch job. So I've been procrastinating getting the chimney removed. The only rooms left to do is one upstairs bedroom, and the kitchen.<br /><br />Hope you're doing well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537355151674491939.post-86831687448084399442023-12-09T07:54:41.471-05:002023-12-09T07:54:41.471-05:00Hello JC.

Wish you would post more photos of your house. Love the wall colors you've selected.

I don't know exactly what it used to look like originally, but I imagine it had an open railing. The opposite wall (photo 1 and 2) also didn't exist. I had to keep it in place for multiple different reasons, but it was not there originally.<br /><br />I had thought of installing beadboard, or paneling, or some trim for the hallway, but I could not decide how it should look, so I chose to keep it really plain. This house had fancy door casings and window casings, small crown on the first floor only, and that's about it. No other fancy details, so I didn't want a weird column to stick out as an extra fancy detail when there aren't any elsewhere. I'm also not sure that I wanted a white-painted column there since all the trim is white. It's a high traffic area and would get dirty, scuffed (etc) fairly easily/quickly.<br /><br />All that said, you do have a point that this would be the ONLY "drywall corner" wall in the entire house. All other openings have trim.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537355151674491939.post-78583851963334576082020-01-21T03:54:44.060-05:002020-01-21T03:54:44.060-05:00Thanks Ross, I loved it too when I saw it used in ...Thanks Ross, I loved it too when I saw it used in another house.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537355151674491939.post-48849338136552044952020-01-21T03:54:19.927-05:002020-01-21T03:54:19.927-05:00Thanks Sandra!Thanks Sandra!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537355151674491939.post-17669381099002821942020-01-15T22:50:35.270-05:002020-01-15T22:50:35.270-05:00That really looks sharp!

The trim looks really good, and that's a great vintage pendant light.<br /><br />One question: was the bare drywall/plaster corner between the stairs and hallway always like that? I wonder how it would look with some wood trim wrapped around it, almost like a very simple emulation of a newel. Our last house had a similar treatment of the wall dividing the stairs where they made a 180 at a landing partway up. It was just wrapped on the three sides with 1x casing, with a small projecting cap on top and cove molding under the cap.Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333322563342346926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537355151674491939.post-42842724789034155652020-01-13T01:08:32.589-05:002020-01-13T01:08:32.589-05:00Love the color!Love the color!Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809279474923305715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537355151674491939.post-42988997408397109572020-01-12T10:52:17.292-05:002020-01-12T10:52:17.292-05:00It looks wonderful!!It looks wonderful!!Miss Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925858880019524507noreply@blogger.com
