The Wyeth Restored!

In the continuing plaster restoration and repair project, three rooms have been completed as of this writing, and the upstairs hallway and stairwell are almost completely finished. Philip Lamachio of Estate Plaster has now begun on the old TV room, affectionately referred to as the Dali Room. When that is finished sometime next week, the upstairs will be all repaired and repainted, with the exception of the disaster which is my study.

This is excellent news.

In the meantime, let me share the transformation of the guest bedroom in the southwest corner of the original part of the house, which has been dubbed The Wyeth. When I first moved into the house back in 2003, I had designated this room as the TV room, and that's what it was for several years. Then I decided to make it into a bedroom. Here it is cleared out, from shortly after the completion of the 2008-2009 renovation and addition project:

This door leads into the bathroom that I added as part
of the renovation and kitchen addition project.

Once it was set up as a guest bedroom again, it looked like this:

Here are a couple of shots of the new bathroom for this room:

Before the plaster restoration came to this room, there were definitely some problem areas:

And then Philip's associate David Mearns got busy tackling the yucky parts:

All cracks were resecured to the wood lathe or to the ceiling joists, and most if not all of the room was screen-meshed and replastered. Then they primed the walls:

And now it's all finished:

This is not a good capturing of the actual green color.
The next two pictures are much closer to the reality.
