Alok has been busy laying the black and white marble tile in the kitchen. This is the tile that he picked out because he would "regret it forever" if we didn't buy it ;-) Here it is:
I also attempted to take additional pictures of some of the painting, but it isn't showing as well (of course). If you look straight ahead, you'll see a radiator in the bookcase. We are getting those removed.
Part of the kitchen with newly painted trim. Looking sooo much better!
In fun news, look at the space between the original floors and drywall. Hmmm...... plaster is much thicker:
The attic floor is coming along quickly:
Attic bathroom- Has been tiled (needs a bit of work) and then the bathtub needs to be painted.
So, the question still remains, when are we moving in? Answer: Who knows!
What is still on our to-do list:
1) Finish the laid tile (e.g., grout, seal, etc): attic bathroom, apartment bathroom, bathroom under the stairs, and kitchen tile
2) Paint the rest of the kitchen, kitchen cabinets, butler pantry cabinet, apartment bathroom, hallway bathroom, yellow bedroom
3) Put in the stained glass window
4) Fix the stairs
5) Re-paint all window frames/seal them... only 61 to go!
6) Clean up all the crazy stuff that's laying around
7) Kitchen appliances installed/ all bathroom fixtures in the ones we're doing
8) Get the laundry room ready
Big things that will continue/wait:
1) Siding/outdoor painting (we just spent 1 gazillion $$ at Sherwin Williams, so this will somewhat happen this summer)
2) Kitchen countertops (we may do cheap ones now)
3) Apartment floor (lay new wood)
4) All trim, etc to close up the 2 inch gaps in our floors
5) master bath
6) hallway bath
7) Alok's office/bath
8) Yellow bedroom floor
Not to bad, right ;-)

It’s been a while since I’ve seen black and white marble tiles used in a kitchen… The checkered design is classy! Why did Alok choose those tiles? He probably has a fascination with black and white, hm. How do you feel about those tiles? I think laying them in diagonally gives the area a seemingly wider effect. Who thought of that?
ReplyDeleteI have always liked black and white tiles in the kitchen. Non-marble is very 50's-esc and Alok saw something similar in a magazine and loved it. I had actually moved on to gray marble tile when this came in. This is all Alok's doing. I really like it. We actually finished the purchasing for the kitchen and it should be finished in a little over a week.
