Finished Bath

With the tile being finished the plumbers came on the 20th and finished up with the toilet install and connected up the dishwasher. Plumbing tasks are now complete.

Washer & Dryer Installed

The washer and dryer are in. Gave them a test run washing some towels and rags I was using. Seem to work just fine.

One by One Tile is Down

Nice view of the kitchen floor tile. One more day for them to be grouted and after 12 hours to cure then the floor is finished.

Holidays Time is for Lights

Went and bought a new tripod for my digital camera so I could take night photos. Here are the first with the new tripod. A car drove by right as the shutter on the camera opened. Creates kind of a night lighting effect.Lights along the cornice of the facade of the building.

Bathroom Vanity & Details

The vanity area of the bathroom is also looking more finished today. Spent the day putting up towel bars and the mirror. Getting the tile work on the bathroom floor will allow the toilet fixture to be installed and that should finish out the bathroom. That should take place in two weeks fingers crossed.

Living Room view

Nice view of the living room. Getting closer to completing all the small details like blinds for the windows. Some great evening sunlight coming in through the south living room windows.

Electricians Finally Finished Up

The electricians finished up this week by installing all the light fixtures and wiring the exhaust vent on the hot water heater. This light below is in the kitchen and matches the single pendant above the sink. Kept more of a historic look for the lights in the kitchen to give it more character.

The dining room got a replacement ceiling fan. I really don't like ceiling fans but if it is a nice day out and the windows are open they are great at circulating air. However, this is the only one in the entire apartment and I think is a good compromise.

I put brushed nickel finished lights in the bedrooms. I do have a couple of antique glass ceiling light shades. Someday down the road I can order some very expensive mounts from Rejuvenations reproductions and put them up.

Finished Kitchen Cabinets

Kitchen cabinets are looking pretty nice with a new tile backsplash made of subway tile and a 1/2 x 6 color backed glass lestello tile for an accent. Now the wait for the installation of the new tile floor for the kitchen and bath is on.
