Cabinets Complete

All of the cabinets have been installed. We had a little trouble figuring out some of the geometry, but in the end it all came together. The countertop will extend all the way into the window sill.

Kitchen Cabinet Progress

So we ran into a few issue with the cabinet design and had to return some of the cabinets and got to wait in a DMV style line at Ikea. Both of these are pictured below. At this point we are making some progress on the cabinets... but a few more struggles ahead.

Cabinets have arrived

Here are all of the cabinets... in boxes... assembling time

New Carpet

The new carpet has just been installed.

Vinyl Floors

These are the new vinyl floors that were installed in the kitchen and utility room.

Finished Tile Pictures

Next step... Vinyl floors go in tomorrow.

Bathroom Tile

Since this is an old apartment, the toilet and shower are separated, so it has 2 bath"rooms", but only one bathroom. We just finished the tile pattern for the rooms. The small room is where the tile will go (used to be an outhouse back in the day), and the larger room will have the shower and sink.

Light Fixtures

We just had the light fixtures installed. We tried to get lights that brought a lot of light, had a new look to them, but kept the style classic and within the era of the apartment. We looked at quite a few and we were worried that they might look a little "old lady", but I think they turned out to match everything well. These pictures are with the lights on, which made these pictures a little off, but we will try to take some with the lights off so the look comes through. We also installed the medallions above 3 of the lights.

Paint!

The apartment was painted last week. They are finishing up in the next few days and it's really starting to come together. We put up pendants in the ceiling to go with the light fixtures. It really gives a vintage look that we are going for. They are also in the process of painting the claw foot tub. The feet are going to be silver leafed.

Although it looks like things are almost done there's a lot to go. Bathroom tile starts next week. Then floors get installed, then cabinet installation and counter tops, plumbing final, and it just goes on and on. But for now at least it's starting to look pretty...
