« Part 6: The final upper wainscot sections. Part 7 of A & C Living room make over series no next part

It has been a while but I finally finished the living room.
The last of the trim has been installed.

The baseboard proved to be more challenging than I had hoped for.
The house over the last 100+ years has settled so every bit had to be scribed and planed to fit.

There are still pieces to build for the room but at least it is finished.

I plan on adding a period correct light to finish it off.

thanks for looking.

Greg

Here is the finished product finally…......................about 2 years later than my wife had hoped for.

Quality demanded by your home even before you got there . REALLY nice trim package !! This kind of stuff you see in the movies or in old houses being knocked down. Very nice- thank you for posting- And yes I know about challenging base board !!

Unbelievable! I see you posted the end table, but did you make the Morris chair/entertainment center/interior doors/writing desk/rocking chair too? How much wood to you have left? If we weren’t going to be buying a boat to live on for the next x years, we’d be getting a bungalow somewhere in the SF East Bay, just so I could do what you’ve done.

Very nice!

Be aware that plenty of brand-new buildings are just as out of square and plumb. ;^(

Thanks everyone…..............

CaptainSkully,
Most of those items in that room are antiques that we have acquired, some took quite a bit of repair to bring them back.

There are other pieces around the house that I have built.
Eventually, everything will be antique, something I made or soon to be replaced with one of the above.
I have a copy of a Limbert footstool almost finished to go with the Morris chair.

Also a copy of a L&JG Stickley magazine nearly completed.

I am now moving to the next room making all new trim.

I am also in the planning stage for the entrance to the kitchen.
Hopefully will be a combination of columns, beams with a possible built in ( not trying to get too far ahead of myself).

I probably have another 6000 + bf? of white oak that is mostly quarter and rift sawn stashed away.

Stay tuned for more action hopefully this winter.

Greg
