Kitchen

The apartment is really taking shape!

Here is the kitchen partially installed. The colour of the cabinet doors will be the dark brown-black that you see on one of the doors in the photo. There will be an island in the center with some space for about 2 stools. The stove/oven goes in the open space between the floor cabinets between the 2 windows.

The Ikea people came to take measurements for the counter, which should arrive in about 2 weeks!

Céramique dans la salle de bain

The master bathroom continues to take shape.  The wall is entirely tiled and it looks fantastic!

The two pipes below are for the wall-mounted sink faucets.

Can't wait to take a bath in there!

Quelle est belle notre salle de bain!

More progress in the master bathroom...

Isn't it pretty??

The shower base is made up of the same tile as the floor, only cut into smaller 4"x4" pieces.

Here is a wide shot of the kitchen, with some of the base cabinets and pantry in place! (and you can see the lovely new wood floor)

Encore de la céramique et début de la cuisine

As the apartment takes shape, we are starting to see the various rooms take form.

Here is the powder room, all tiled!

Here is the beginning of the assembling of the kitchen cabinets.  We panicked when we saw the colour of the wood, thinking they had made a mistake (we ordered dark brown-black) - but then realized that all cabinets are like this and the coloured part only shows up on the doors and side panels.  Phew!

In the master bathroom, work began on the shower floor.  This was one of the 'surprises' after we learned that the shower base we had bought would have likely cracked in a few years.  To be safe, we stuck with tile...

Finally - here is the master bathroom with its floor tiled and bathtub and faucets in place!  Note that the bath is actually quite a bit deeper than what you see from the side; the base is actually dug down further below the floor.

Céramique dans la salle de lavage

It took awhile (and a few visits to several ceramic stores) before we finally decided on a dark grey tile for our 2 bathrooms and laundry room (18"x18").  Here is the laundry room all tiled!

Début des plancher

Hello friends!

Sorry for the long break.  Let's just say that renovating can be tiring and stressful, and has been keeping us quite busy lately...

Things are moving along quite well!

Here is a photo of the new wood floor; we kept the old hardwood and had to fill in the spots that were left bare from the demolition.  First photo is in the kitchen, where there used to be linoleum (on top of old linoleum, on top of older linoleum, etc etc...)
