DIY: Project restoration of Victorian style house
Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,
Today we would like to show you our one of our last work that I am very proud of. Of course all the work is done by my hubby @myskye he loves everything in old style and proper materials like solid wood or sand stone and seeing what the previous owner did to that beauty he just can’t resist but to bring it to its shine.
The stairs are made of oak and also about 200 year old, it was painted in white and covered on top of it with light green carpet. So @myskye first removed the carpet and then scraped the layers of paint with special scraper. That is hours of hard work that is why it took a while.
Here are some pictures before and after.
You can recognize from the pictures that we did some work around Easter time too as usually we buy these delicious chocolate bunnies. And they were waiting for us as a reward for hard job on Easter Holidays.
While we had on and off breaks the Chocolate Bunnies probably “tried to help” as found them at the place where we left our instruments.
Nevertheless, the work is not finished and new project is started: Restoration of wooden Victorian style Windows with Shutter. It will definitely take few months.

It is a house of soul and deserves the work done by you.
There are many hours behind, you deserved those chocolates :)
Was für eine Arbeit! Ich kann es gut nachvollziehen - eine ähnliche Treppe (nicht ganz so alt) haben wir auch schon einmal restauriert. Am Ende mussten wir aber doch neues Parkett drüber verbauen, es war einfach zu wenig zu retten. Bei euch ist das Projekt richtig toll gelungen!
Viel Erfolg mit der Tür,
LG Chriddi
Herzlichen dank Christiane,
.....da muss ich dir zustimmen, die Treppe sieht jetzt wirklich wieder gut aus. Ich war anfangs sehr skeptisch ob wir die Treppe noch retten können, aber überraschenderweise war das Originalholz noch in einem top Zustand. Es ist schon eine Schande das alles mit dieser weißen Farbe bedeckt war, und nicht nur das Holz sondern auch das gesamte Grußeisen. Es gibt noch viel zu tun (Farben abkratzen), aber es geht voran !
KLEINES FENSTER UPDATE
Vielen Dank für deinen Besuch :-)
The Victorian era style of houses are very elegant and big @stef1 but if I would ever own one I will not be able to visit the second floors and above :D
