Nearing "The End"

Work on the house has been coming along...





Last weekend, the kitchen cabinets were finally completed.

The living room is almost done. It is furnished with the following:
– Herb's Man Couch. It is a Lazy Boy. I feel like Chandler and Joey in friends every time I recline.
– Mongolian Fur Pillows from One Kings Lane to help soften up the black "leatha" couch.
– A hand-me-down love seat from Lance
– Chair purchased on eBay, Fabric from Mood and Upholstery by a guy on Graham Ave in Williamsburg.
– Hanging pendant lamp, Nesting Tables and Lamp (still awaiting a shade) from a Long Island Tag Sale
– TV Stand/Credenza courtesy of a craigslist purchase down the street from our apt in Brooklyn.
– Rug is from West Elm

The small bedroom needed some major help. The former owners used it as a home office.
– Ripped up the carpeting to reveal a hard wood floor

– Demoed the built-in black scary wardrobe. It was not only an eye sore, but it was really spooky.

These dressers were Herb's Family's. I mean...they were literally passed from person to person.

So, being the next person to get my hands on them I updated the knobs on both sets. 

The Master Suite of the house was originally the garage. Not a whole lot of work needed to be done. The bedroom wall color is a strange very light lavender color. I would repaint but do not have the time nor energy. However, the Shamrock Shake colored bathroom annoyed the Grimace out of me.

– Replaced the shutter knobs

– Painted bathroom a lovely white.
– Ripped out the glass shower door and replaced with a good ole shower curtain.
