I am marveling now at how the small detail changes are really going to make a HUGE difference in the house. I thought of eliminating the door and trim from the entry to the dining room, but it would be too much work at this point.......the drywall is already up in the kitchen. I was noticing the ceiling lines of the dining room and the newer, wider, relocated entry to the kitchen with a higher, matching ceiling line. The pine plank ceiling should visually lengthen the already very long vista from the foyer through the kitchen. The stove will be THE focal point of the living space to the right of the entry. Low-key and elegant but stunning nonetheless. I'm really looking forward to seeing the mosaic tile on the kitchen walls, too!
What else.....I'm still looking for progress on the utility area in the front of the house. The laundry room is roughed-in but the bathroom is still rather forlorn...I suppose I'll be a bit more excited once the drywall is up and the tile is finally laid. I haven't even enjoyed the new wall-to-wall in the bedroom area yet.
I'm still on the fence regarding the living room floor. I may have a little extra cash once tax-time rolls around, so I may end up installing a real cork floor after all. With the thought going into the detail of the rest of the apartment, I'd be a fool to settle for anything less than what I really want. The faux-cork vinyl I purchased is going to look a bit out of place next to the new marble thresholds to the kitchen. Not to mention the collection of new rugs that I've compiled over the past eleven months or so.
I'm finally feeling like there is light at the end of this endless tunnel!
