Restoring all the beautiful details is soaking up a lot of time, but it's worth it.
I cut away a panel under the staircase for the door to the new social bathroom. The other opening is a small storage area.
A good cleaning and some glass replaced has transformed the main skylight's stained glass panel.
This is the floor tile in the upstairs balcony/hall.
The stairs are getting refinished now. It needs a few minor repairs (broken tread seen here), but is generally in good shape. Even when we first saw it the staircase was one of the home's main attractions. Restored is should be eye popping.
Not sure about the carpet runner hardware; the rods are brass and look good, but the brackets are worn and need plating. I've got to draw the line somewhere.
