I was going through some paperwork recently, and I stumbled upon some old photos of the early days when we started renovating our house. These photos are at least 15 years old, of course were not digital, and thus done the “old fashioned way”: printed from film onto paper.

 

So thinking it would be fun to share, below are some of these old photos as well as more recent photos of the completed room renovation project these old photos represented.

First, some old photos during early tear down and renovation from the front of the room:

And how the same wall looked with a new window installed, re-plastered and painted:

 

And, next some old photos from the back of the room:

And a photo of the completed renovation, fully plastered, painted and with new wood flooring installed:

Yes, we also removed the old cooking stove, and replaced it with a modern, efficient wood oven. And this was a complete DIY project. The person in the photos is just a younger version of myself.
