The last holdout area amidst the finished rooms

When we started restoring the downstairs area we started with the kitchen and dining room then into the drawing room and library (we have yet to begin the parlor and main entry). The downstairs bathroom (which use to be the butler's pantry) and the hall area between the kitchen and dining room were left unfinished for several years. A few months ago we worked on restoring the downstairs bathroom (see previous post), thus leaving the small hallway as the only unfinished area in the middle of the finished rooms. So recently we tackled the small hallway. As of today all that is left is the staining of the small hallway floor.

Thanks to my beautiful wife (Chris) and our lovely daughter (Camille) for making the hallway a portrait of beauty.
