The trim in our bathroom was originally painted from what it seems like. Sadly, all we have left of the original trim is around the door and around the window. We do not have any of the baseboards left. When I lived in this house for my first few years of college (when I thought I’d never buy the place — go figure) we had stripped the trim around the window. I wish I could remember if it was painted or not, but I can’t. Was it common to have windows left unpainted while the rest was painted? We are thinking of stripping the door and the actual sash, leaving just the baseboards and the trim around the door painted, but we haven’t fully decided yet.

So I’ve created a poll. Please leave a comment too if you have any other ideas.

I’ll be posting more demolition pictures of the bathroom tomorrow evening hopefully. I’ve removed all the plaster (shed a tear with me… it was just beyond repair in the timeframe we have). I still have to remove the fiber type board that was around the tub area that the plaster was stuck too. I’ll go into details on that in my next post…

And to go further off topic, we had a contractor from a local lumber company over today to look at the floor in the bathroom. It sounds like he has (new, unfortanetly) old growth, vertical grain Douglas fir that he can put in. I am hoping to get a sample of it to make sure it won’t look out of place with the old stuff before committing to it.
