Details, Details



It looks like things are going well with demolition. Thursday we met with our architects at The Apartment to review the status of the electrical risers and such now that a significant portion of things are exposed. There is just one semi-major decision to be made about moving some wires and what architectural details surround it. Essentially, it comes down to this:

Do we want a closet in this particular area... or a nook? Since we're on opposite sides of the fence on this one (Steven votes for the decorative nook, whereas Lara votes for the ever-practical closet), we're going to have the contractor build out the framing for this area and then decide. We both promise to keep an open mind until then.

A happy detail that we were able to resolve is that we can indeed have wall-mounted faucets in our bathrooms. We weren't sure if we had enough space inside the wall for this, but now we know that we do. This means it will be easier to keep the sink ledges clean. We hope.

Finally, on another decorative note, we also picked up two beautiful vintage holophane lamp shades (see picture above) from our friend Lisa. We are grateful to her for them and will be re-paying her with many home cooked meals and wine. Thank you, Lisa!
