Nice score! Those patterns definitely do work well together.
So much fun to find exactly what you want at Goodwill! We have a local thrift shop called Granny's Attic, and I was able to find the perfect curtains in the perfect color for my second bedroom for $6.
I really like the mix of your patterns!

Very pretty, IL! I have come to accept the fact that I have no talent for decorating, so I really enjoy looking at other's work.

Here is a house construction update, before and after images of our hallway.

we have new oak floors in the hall, entirely new drywall, new baseboards. Walls are painted a soft cream color. I love it! Eveything is so clean and fresh.
DH works about four hours a day on the house, Monday through Friday. I reckon we’re two years away from having it done. The work he’s doing is baseboard trim, window trim, filling holes in the drywall, sanding it, and painting everything. We have a new staircase to put in, and that will be major work, but he’s a carpenter so he can handle it.
All tile and cabinetry work is done.
We are saving whatever parts of the house we can, so we have three exterior original doors that need a lot of attention. He probably spent a week on each door, and we still have one more to go.
These exterior doors are important in contributing to this cottage’s original look. I wish we had original windows but we do not. Grrrr, some fool tore them out in the 90’s.
As for interior doors, there was only 1 original door because the same 70’s-90’s renovations took them. Ugh. But fortunately, the one remaining door showed us that original doors had two panels, so that is what we bought for this house: 2 panel doors.
We also replicated the original workwork (which existed only in 1 room by the time we bought this house.) The woodwork is very simple, fortunately.

That is beautiful!! You guys are doing such a great job! I love that it's getting such loving care and respect for its roots. The floors are gorgeous.

Beautiful! Not just a house, it looks to be a truly beautiful home!

DH, after spending 3 weeks to put finishng touches on our kitchen, has now started to work on our living room. Like all the rooms in our house it needs trim and painting, and he is re-working the bookcases on either side of our fireplace.
Here is the room today. In about three months it will look finished but not furnished. I will have to obsess about furnishings for quite a while to het everything right.

Very nice, I especially love the fireplace. How wonderful to have a whole new realm to obsess over!
