Bathroom plan

We finally converged on a bathroom plan that will hopefully work for the space we have. It was not easy accommodating a separate bath and shower (which is why we ended up with a rounded shower in the corner).

Shopping for bathroom fixtures is quite amazing... the range of prices is astounding. A faucet can run from $50 to $3000! Who knew...

Ownership!

I am now the proud owner of half of our duplex! We finalized the papers today. It's nice to own a small piece of Montreal.

Melrose Space

This blog is called Melrose Space as a reference to that cheesy 1990s show Melrose Place.  Jonathan and I live on Melrose Ave so the name aptly describes what will be the focus of our blog, at least initially.

Soon we will be embarking on Project #2  (Project #1 was the wedding).  Project #2 is a major renovation of our floor (the main floor) of our duplex.  We are hoping to keep a record of the construction so that others may benefit from the experience.

Today we achieved a major milestone: we ordered our kitchen from Ikea!  The plans have been in the works for about 1 month.  Jonathan put in a supreme effort yesterday to finish them.  Today we lined up at the store at 8:15am (it opened at 9am) and were out by 12:15pm.  This was about the 4th time we have been in the store in the past week - but it is all done!  Here's the new plan...

  

Welcome to our blog!

Hello readers!

Welcome to our blog.

This space will serve to inform anyone interested in the goings on of our lives.  We'll try to keep things short, at least somewhat interesting, and hopefully entertaining.

Feel free to let us know what you think!
