We loved the 10' ceilings. All the light that poured in. The 1900's charm. And the overall feel of the home.Not pictured: the master bedroom and bathroom, hallway bathroom, the backyard and the finished basement as it was when we first moved in. We spent a good two weeks after buying it sanding and painting all the walls and trim. We loved the all white look, but felt like it needed some more color so we painted the walls tan with a few accent walls. Well now after really defining our style we are slowly going back to white. It's all a process and labor of love.
