seeing stars

Finally a few updates. For the last month we have been working almost every day to get things done in the new apartment. We even kind of live here since two weeks, which wasn't always the easiest thing, because the shower wasn't installed, there was no sink and the whole place was (still is) very dusty. But things look a lot better now. Today we almost finished the kitchen - we only have to wait for the countertop, which will take about 5 weeks. The bathroom only needs a few adjustments until its finished - it's my favorite room so far).
The rooms still look a bit messy, but Joe doesn't yet have a closet to put his clothes and also no shelves to put his books. But at least it doesn't feel like living on a construction site anymore.

So here is a little before - after preview of the bathroom. We installed the glass wall two days ago and after letting the silicone dry over night, we could finally take our first shower yesterday.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, I will hopefully take some nicer ones any time soon.

like new

Floors. The renovation in Joe's apartment is in its full swing. The wooden floor doesn't look like it is 130 years old, after being sanded. We liked the shabby-used look it had before, so we decided to oil it in a very dark brown - and I really like how it turned out. One room got finished on friday, two days before Joe had to move out of his old apartment... on saturday we moved all his belongings into this room... until the rest of the apartment is finished, he will be staying at my place.
