Farmhouse Sink

As we continue to finalize our plans for the apartment, addressing concerns raised by the co-op's architect, we are also starting to focus on apartment details. The biggest ticket items, naturally, are the bathrooms and kitchen. Right now we're debating whether a farmhouse sink for the kitchen would be a nice addition... or if a more streamlined look is preferable. I've loved these sinks for awhile now, but am unsure if it will fit with everything else we're looking at. For now it's a thought.

Floor Plan

I just realized that we hadn't yet posted our most recent floor plan for the new apartment. Of course, it may shift around and change a bit depending on what feedback we receive from the co-op's architect. But we're hoping that this floor plan, for the most part, will be approved. And hopefully soon.

Stealth

Last night we stopped by LV Wood for an initial look at our flooring options. They had lots of lovely things, but as expected, we are both leaning towards a dark stain called "stealth". We're thinking hand-planed walnut, although we may have to forego the hand-planing depending on cost. Given the size of our apartment, the sales person recommended 7" planks. I'm sure we'll be back to showroom as there is much to learn. Stained vs. smoked. Oil vs. polyurethane. Walnut vs. oak. You can even decide if you want knots in the wood.

A Slow Process

I realized today that it's been over a month since our last post. This is mostly because the progress in getting our layout (now finalized) has reached the point where we need co-op approval prior to moving forward. The final drawings were submitted this week, and we now wait for the building's architect to review the plans and respond. We are hoping this won't be a long, drawn-out process since we'd like for the board to see this at their April meeting. Otherwise, everything will be pushed out another month. In the meantime, we will make a decision on what our flooring will look like. What do you think?
