Being a 1913 home I have the wonderful high ceiling - not too sure what they are wonderful for on the main floor. I can think of lots of great things for them if they were in the basement.
Had to remove cheap paneling and layers of wallpaper under paint. being lathe and plaster the walls had to be sealed before anything happened.
The bathroom door was a cramped undersized door. Getting in it with a basket of clothes to put towels away was not an option so they were carried from dining room table into bathroom. People often think I am crazy but when I say I know how to do something - then I know how to do it. In the first pic it shows the door removed and a very shallow bookshelf and stupid half glass holder thing as well as the section of wall I removed, that covered the duct work to the back upstairs bedroom. I removed that also from basement to the second floor. Where the bookcase/glass holder was I made into cabinets. Well I have the doors up even if the inside is not done yet. I installed - yes you are reading it right 36" door, that is an oversized exterior door. It had to be solid wood since it had to be cut down in height.
I know going with a gloss enamel inside is not often done. With the age of the house and it being plaster a good oil is best and enamel washes well. Wallpaper was put above the plate rack in half the room. Then for the area over the bathroom door the wallpaper flowers where cut out and trailed onto the green as the one pic shows. The last pic is of the window alcove which has a twin bed in it with tons of pillows. Since then the bed went upstairs as mine and the area has a treadmill in it.
