First, here's some of the plaster damage from the leaking jacuzzi. It's hard to tell the damage in a picture (it was a lot more obvious in person), but if you look closely, you can see the large bubbling around the right and upper sides of spotlight:
Thank goodness for C that Miguel and his crew were completely able to repair the damage. We asked him not to rebuild the piece as it was completely so that we can get the desk out if we ever need to, so he sanded it all down and filled in the ridges. Here's the finished product here:
Next, here is the damage to the upstairs wallpaper. This wallpaper is from several owners ago so I would have loved to keep it, but the paper had faded badly over the years from the skylights and windows. You can see some of the fading in pictures:
Also, on the other wall, someone had taken the wallpaper already off that wall but had not stripped the glue before they had painted it. Therefore, the wall was very pocketed and damaged looking. Also, the skylight had apparently been leaking at one point and there was damage and cracking on the wall around the light.
To put the paint color into prospective, here is the color on the walls with the original trim color still up. The original trim color looked white against the wallpaper and underneath paint color, but it was a very dark grey. Our paint color for this hall is Porter Paint color Wheat Shaf.
Here's the final product of the upstairs hallway and walls with Wheat Shaf on the walls and Edelweiss is the trim color (yes, the light fixture is going to be changed to a chandelier eventually). I'm so happy with the repair work that has been done:
