As of this morning, my furniture is all here. So what next (besides unpacking these infernal bins)? A list of potential projects, for internal use only.
- Windows. The draft through them when closed defies all known laws of physics. Given cracks and condensation I’m guessing they’ll have to be replaced.
- Paint. There are some embarrassingly marred places. So fix, preferably without getting any on the couches.
- Rugs. Two 5x8s needed for optimum dog fur acquisition.
- Kitchen cabinets. I want to either replace the doors or (over-optimistically) figure out how to modify the current ones into something sexier.
- Lights & fan. This friggin’ living room still needs a light. I need professional help with this one.
- Kitchen faucet. I didn’t realize how bad this was until I had that nice one for a year in San Francisco. A small sink necessitates a tall faucet.
1. those cabinets you linked under “sexy” wont work in your apartment. You need something open. Maybe take the doors off, put down cool paper, and refinish the existing wood.
2. Man didn’t we put the light and fan in once already. I blame your property manager……..
3. Who do we have to talk to about ripping walls out?????
Those cabinets are sexy as hell.
Ok new idea: stained glass.
The problem is your kitchen is too small hence the idea of openness, and #3 above.
