Condo Pictures After Improvements
As promised, I ran around and took some quick pictures of our place now that things are starting to settle from our home improvement rampage. You can look at the before pictures here.
1. Dining Area
We were able to hang the ceiling light much easier than anticipated, but had some drywall patching to do after digging around to try to evaluate the situation. Also, you get a good look at the red wall — we painted the walls downstairs a light golden color, but painted the main wall that leads up the stairwell a nice brick red. You have to see it to appreciate it fully.
2. Stairwell Area
We re-carpeted and refinished the stair railing by sanding and painting.
3. Living Room Area
The main project here is meant to be invisible. We ran a gas line from just to the right of the window all the way to the kitchen — inside the wall. After patching and painting, you’d never know we did it!
4. Kitchen Area
The major project here was painting the kitchen cabinets. Kristen’s mom did a wonderful job on this, and our dad’s helped a ton with fixtures, water lines, and the rest.
5. Bedroom
The majority of the bedroom is going to be used as a home office, with the bed tucked away in this nice nook area. We haven’t pulled everything together to make the office look how we’d like, but it will come soon enough. I have ambitions of building a desk or two, so it may be a bit before you see pictures of that project.
All in all, we love our place, and are so grateful for all of the help we received. It was truly a team effort to transform our place, and now it feels like we have a new house!
Come by and visit! Unless I don’t know you. Then don’t. You might creep me out.
