Renovation Part Deux

Tim and I should have our own HGTV show.   Maybe it could be about a couple that knows nothing about construction but decides to simultaenously undertake a ginormous renovation in the suburbs and a renovation of a NY apartment (and of course, is living in neither place).

The work on the apt is pretty far along.  Thanks to Cal's early arrival, I didn't have the chance to take any before pictures, but I'll see if I can dig some up.  Until then, hopefully you remember the before, and here is the now:

All the cabinets in the kitchen have been completely removed.  Once the building approves our kitchen plans, we will have new cabinets and hardware, countertops and sink.  The layout will be pretty similar to the old one, except with more drawers and the peninsula will be raised with a lip for a breakfast bar.  Yes, the accent wall is a strange shade of orange, but once the white cabinets are in, it will hopefully be a nice contrast.

All the walls, ceiling and doors have been scraped, re-plastered, sanded and painted.

Everything now looks crisp and clean.  No more paint chips falling down on our heads!

We fixed up the bathroom too.  This wall had been missing a bunch of tile that just had a bunch of plaster filling it up.  Now it has been re-tiled:

Once the kitchen is done, we just have to redo the floors.  Let us know if you know of anyone that wants to rent a cozy, newly renovated 1-bedroom!
