Reno Madness!

So renovations have been progressing really really well. I am beyond pleased with the work that's happened so far. It's starting to look like a real apartment!All the electrical is done, walls were taken down, closets fixed, new lights installed and plumbing updated for a washer/dryer hookup.

I went to Ikea last night to purchase the cabinets (in Adel White, in case you were thinking) which are so freaking awesome. They should be arriving next Friday. Appliances are arriving 4 days after on the following Tuesday.

While I have a washer/dryer hookup, I'm going to wait a few months before I purchase them. For one, I need to get actual furniture for my place and second, they are damned expensive! At any rate, the place looks amazing. It's still a little surreal but in a few short weeks I will be living in my own little piece of Brooklyn. Below are some pictures of the renovation. You can see a lot of the work is almost done! The last picture is just a view from the street to my two living room windows. The dude on the ladder is the guy who is getting it all done...my hero, my visionary, the man that knows it all!

Stay tuned for more pics as the work comes to completion!

Renovation Update!

Instead of posting some pictures on here, I decided to make an album of the pics I've taken so far.

I've been really please with the work done thus far. Before anything started, I was nervous that it wouldn't come out the way I wanted, but as soon as my contractor started working, I knew this place was going to work out. I am so so happy. This place is going to be EPIC!!! :-)

So anyhow, check out the pics in the album! I'll keep y'all posted!

CHECK OUT THE PICS!!

Renovation Realities.

 I finally started renovations! You have no idea how good it feels to get rid of all the nastiness that was in the apartment!

Take a gander at the pictures to the right. The first one is a before of the kitchen. I know. It's really craptastic. The pictures below is the work that's been done so far. The last picture is the closet being re-done. The original owner had the closet extended and made a second closet that entered from the hallway (I don't know why!) so I'm making it smaller and making the living room a bit larger.

Stay tuned for more pics!!
