Finishing the Floors

Well it looks like we installed a bowling alley in the kitchen, but really it is just our Fabulous Ikea Tundra Flooring. Here are some shots of Brad putting in the bowling alley.
The wall separating the kitchen and living room was a real hassle. It took a long time to work through the complicated seams. But Brad got it all lined up.
The house just looks so much lighter and cleaner. I Love it....
To do the kitchen, dining, living room and some closet floors was about $800.00 for materials. It is a $1.35 a sqft.

Studio-licious

Well we finished the studio pretty much. These photos don't show the flooring but we selvaged the old dining room and kitchen laminate flooring and installed it in the studio. We have all the electric run in there we just have to get it hooked up. Today I ran to Ikea thru all the thick smoke and picked up the new cabinets and counters. We spent tonight putting all the Ikeas stuff together. Can't wait to go to work in there.....

Project 3 - Living Room Progress

Well today we made good progress in the living room and kitchen. I finished painting the living room and most of the other rooms. The living room is Behr- Garden wall. We (well mostly Brad) ripped out the navy carpet and the faux saltillo tile. There is original hardwood floors underneath that could be redone. But we have decided we are going to go with Ikea Tundra - Maple on top because we will be putting new flooring in the Living room, Dining room and Kitchen. With PaintWithout carpet

Kitchen Progress

Before With the cabinets

And without.
We are taking everything out, we will move some of plumbing. We are moving the kitchen sink to the front of the house under the front window, along with adding a hook up for a new dishwasher adjacent to the new stainless sink. Then we will add some additional electrical outlets. The plan is to mount a new microwave above the range. The refrigerator will move to about where the ladder is, in this last photo. Brad will put in new drywall and tape it. Then I will paint the walls Martha Stewart - Jadeite Bowl.

The Ikea kitchen we plan to but in are birch with slab doors and Brushed aluminum rod drawer pulls.
