Before and Afters

Well, stage one of the renovations is done! Everything looks so great; I don't think I could be any happier. Projects for the future: painting the walls and kitchen cabinets, and bathroom updates!

Floors and a Finished Kitchen!

EVERYTHING is set to be finished by tomorrow afternoon. Exciting! See below for the latest updates...

I love the floors--they really update the place. I also like how the color of the fireplace doesn't look as strange next to the dark wood as it did next to tan carpet...

The kitchen is looking pretty great, too. Don't you think?

Another Big Step Forward...

Progress in the Kitchen

I stopped by the condo on Friday to get an update on the progress made this week. They've been working primarily in the kitchen, which should be completely finished by the end of the weekend. I'll probably stop by on Sunday to check it out. Until then, check out how it's looking so far...

First thing's first, the rotten wood is all gone! It's been removed, replaced with new wood, and covered with fresh concrete. It looks a little bit better than before!

Here's a close-up of the granite tile.

From this photo, you can start to picture how it's going to look when it's all put together. The sink is new too. The old one was pretty rusted out. Since I had to replace it anyway, I also added two inches in depth. I'm hoping I won't make as big of a mess when I wash big things like mixing bowls now. :)

Finally, these are the materials going into the backsplash. There's going to be a ribbon of black glass running through the tumbled stone. The grout won't look so stark when it's all put together, or so I've been promised

Check back on Sunday or Monday to see the finished kitchen!
