Basically Done!

So, we've now got our place on the market. Hopefully we'll sell it quick, and for what we want, so we can move on the the next step: an actual house with a yard and garage and everything!

Here's a couple photos of the finished kitchen and bathroom. you've seen these essentially, but this is how it looks for MLS...

Practially finished!

We are very close to being done now. This weekend we painted our living room and the last wall in the bedroom. We only have 1 wall left in the entire condo that needs to be painted and we'll be finished! AWWWW YEAH! We should have closet doors around mid-August. That pretty much just leaves the really tiny details left: We still need to paint our baseboards, and there are a few power outlets that need to be replaced. That's pretty much it.

hurray!

Last month of work... maybe?

We're so very close to being finished. We have the hallway painted, the dining room painted, and most of the baseboards glued down. The bathtub is being refinished this friday, our closets are being measured for closet doors, and the blinds for the windows are in production and should be hear next week. So hopefully we'll be totally finished by the end of June. Just in time for summer! Yay!

The light at the end of the tunnel...

We are VERY close to the end of our long renovation journey. It's hard to believe how far we've come and every time I look back at the pictures I am just amazed at all of the work we have done. When we ripped out the kitchen I was nervous and scared at how we would cope without the most important room in the house; but we managed. And then when we realized that we had no other time to put the floors in except for New Years, I don't think either of us felt ready but we did what we needed to do and got it done. I really am soooo happy that all of the major renovations are complete! There's nothing that I dislike more than being in a state of restlessness and partiality.

So what's left, you ask? Paint, closet doors, window coverings and refinishing the tub! It's nice when your to-do list fits on one hand:)

Photo Gallery Updated!

I have finally updated our Picasa web gallery for our renovations! I added the kitchen and some floor photos.

Currently we are re-vamping the second closet in our bedroom and soon will be doing the same for our hallway closets.

More work... :>

Now that all our floors are finished we have started getting going on the rest of the work that needs to be done. Today, I'm painting the empty closets so we can install the new closet system in there. Organization FTW! When we sell I think one of the nice selling features is the ridiculous amounts of storage space for a condo this size. We're setting it up so the space is used as efficiently as possible with the rubbermaid Configurations closet system. it's a cheap, versatile system and has already made our large closet in the bedroom so much better.

Once the closets are done we'll be installing the baseboards. That'll probably be spread over a few days. After that... well, it's just closet doors and paint and we'll be finished. Oh, and the kitchen backsplash, which i'll probably do in a few weeks.

I'm guessing we'll be completely finished before the end of April. AWESOME!
