BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH: WELCOME TO THE VERY FIRST METAMORPHOSIS MONDAY!
Here is a before picture of a room in our house back when we bought it. My house was built in 1883 and we are renovating it using the US Dept of Interiors guidelines.
After we ripped up the carpet, this is what the floors looked like.
We used Bradbury & Bradbury wallpaper which is authentic to the era of our house.

Here is what the room looks like today!
Our Billiards Room

Wow...love it! I absolutely LOVE historic homes so this was a delight to see! Thanks for preserving this lovely piece of history and thanks for sharing it with all of us! Susan
This is a beautiful room, and I love the rich colors. The wallpaper border looks like it could be Art Deco era or Arts & Crafts era, and it really adds a ton of personality :o)

Wow! I'm sooo impressed! This is a great redo! I've come from Susan's! :)
Wow! Great transformation!
Happy Met Monday, This is absolutely incredible. I love old homes and the way they speak to us. You've done an incredible job of bringing this back to life.. I know the home is thanking you. It is just beautiful. hugs ~lynne~
As I read everyone's comment, I can see they all had their mouths open in awe, JUST LIKE ME! This is a super share since I adore historic homes. My Beloved's and my dream is to own an historic home one day to convert into either a B&B, a teahouse, or a ministry for married couples that are in crisis that would be offered free of charge. So appreciate this M.Monday post! Have a blessed day~ ~CC Catherine

That is just too beautiful!!! Your finished picture looks straight from a magazine.
The word "plunder" is a fun word isn't it? Hmm, I would find someone to hook to all those bells and buttons. Maybe call it Hubby buttons?
WOW. Your makeover is amazing. What lovely wallpaper and on the ceiling as well! I can't imagine the work that was! Thanks for sharing your lovely room.
