I like how you found the wood flooring. When we ripped out the old floors upstairs we found the original 90 years old floors. What a thrill.

Second...First of all, your living room is stunning. Second, don't you wonder what the previous owners were thinking? Cottage has to be so happy to have the charming Magali as his owner now. Your vision to reclaim Cottage's historic beauty is coming to fruition, no matter the length of time it is taking. No grand thing was done in a day. One of the things I admire about you Magali is that you stand up for what you want. It takes courage to look a contractor in the eye and say you're going to go for something, even if it doesn't work. I love that about you!
