It's always a surprise when we visit the apartment, no more so than when we've been away awhile. This time, we hadn't been in over a week, so we were taking bets on what we'd find upon our arrival. We weren't disappointed. As suspected, Lew had completed the entire wood floor, which is now covered with protective paper. This enabled them to start installation of the kitchen. Exciting. Very. Exciting. As you can see, they have started with the upper and lower cabinetry for our pantry (on the left) and the cabinetry along the main wall. The empty area on the bottom right cabinet is where the sink will sit, and to the right will be the dishwasher and range. We had debated the open shelf (above where the sink will go) for a long time—would it be better to have closed storage (so the shorter among us could reach dishes) or to allow ourselves the luxury of that emptiness? In the end we determined that, as basically neat people, the open shelf would be a safe bet. It will be a great place to hold cookbooks and place the more decorative of our serving pieces—like our vintage Fiesta. This will also help break up what would otherwise be a whole lotta walnut wood.
Apart from the excitement happening in the kitchen, the tile work has begun in our master bathroom. Here you can see the vertically stacked white tiles in the walk-in shower (the grout has not yet been done). In addition, the first trim has been placed around the outside of our master bedroom door. We wanted something slightly decorative, but still very subtle and contemporary. This will be a contrast to what we are doing around our closet doors. Which is nothing.
