I am very happy with the room and the choice of the table.<br /><br />Sean,<br /><br /> I didn't do the stairwell window in natural wood for a few reasons. First, it was painted a while ago. Much of the wood was shellacked, so stripping the casing would have been possible, but the sash, and other parts were replaced and never shellacked. On top of that, the stool and other parts got a lot of southern sun. It would have been difficult yo get everything back to bare wood. It would have meant leaving the scaffolding up for a weeks more and the end results may not have been worth it. I thought about graining it, but I think it would have been noticeable. In the end, paint was the best solution for me.<br /><br />GregGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-3806910784530771012010-10-26T12:48:46.981-07:002010-10-26T12:48:46.981-07:00Stunningly beautiful; you should be very proud!
