Day 13: Pattern and Design

Working the night shift,
let's see what the small,
south bedroom has in store for us. 

More surprises, no doubt.

Up the stairs.

Through the door.

The Western Star Newspaper, 1955.

I had salvaged lino from the first room and stored it in here.

This newspaper was between the layers. 

Roots of the present lie in the past.

Before. More beige carpet.

It's a tiny room (7' x 9').
It has one window that looks out onto the back yard / cherry tree orchard.
It's south facing and the light is warm and yellow.
More sunshine.

I begin by pulling back the corner.

Oh, this looks interesting...

Wow, cool! More vintage flooring. A new pattern and it's in decent shape. How exciting...!

Time to document.

The delicate art of the carpet pulling process.

This is the top layer.

It's more of an apricot colour than this abrasive, burnt orange (as it appears in the photo). 

You'll notice on the left, that part of the lino has been cut away

and there is an Art Deco-esque pattern underneath.

I'm learning so much about decorative arts.

Love it.

The hardwood floor of the landing juxtaposed with the newly revealed old lino floor. 

I foresee a new painting project: vintage lino pattern and design.
