Bedroom 2 - the middle room


The original plan was to make the middle room either a stairwell to the 2nd level or a bathroom, but in a moment of sanity... and since it already had a closet, I have decided to keep it a bedroom and add a stairwell to the attic space from the back stairwell entry.

Bedroom 2 is also missing its 5-panel wood door.  The previous owner decided to take his rage out on the door, so I am in search of a door.  I know I can always get a new one on special order, but people are always tossing out these doors, so I am going to hold out for a good find.

This room has some minor patches that need to be made to the ceiling.  We are going to use the plaster washers, joint compound and screen method to stabilize the lathe and plaster ceiling.  The same crowns are going up in this room as are in the other rooms.  We lucked out on Maxsold.com at a recent estate auction and have already found some of the furnishings for this room.
