Using a blunt chisel I've attacked a door frame, window frame and window panel, chipping away decades of paint and varnish to see what's underneath.

Under the layers of rubbery gloss I unearthed a wood-effect painted layer. This was as far as the chisel could strip away, and I don't want to damage the wood underneath, so I'm going to experiment with paint stripper gunk, and a hot air gun to see what effects I get. I'd love a mix of old and new in the house; I'm not after re-creating period interiors.

If we do build an upstairs bathroom above the kitchen then this window will be removed but we'll keep the frame which runs from the floor, up, and use that as a framed entranceway to that part of the house. In that case these panels would be removed, but I'll keep them in case they can be used elsewhere.
