635 N. Bentalou- Almost Done

We're into the final week of this project, and we're excited to be finished. Over the weekend, the floors were refinished and carpet was installed in the upstairs bedrooms. We're going to put in the countertops, applainces and fixtures this week. The countertops would have gone in sooner, but we had to custom-order them because of the unique shape of the island piece. The fixtures also would have been put in, but we decided to wait until the alarm system was installed to avoid any problems with theft.


Here's the upstairs jacuzzi tub with the new ceramic tile.



This is the current status of the kitchen. You can finally see the big window in the rear that had been covered for the last few weeks. The island is installed, but covered with the cardboard box.



Here's an action shot of the cornice being painted. On the right, you can see the finished part, and on the left, the original. We're keeping the awnings up until the last possible moment. This house is really a "sleeper" from the exterior until the awnings come down the the front lawn is spruced up. You'd really have no idea how much work was done on the interior by looking from the front.



Another tub picture...



This is what the upstairs hallway looks like as of Friday. The skylight really helped to open up the space and make it feel larger. We're going to paint the handrails black with white spindles, which will add some more "pop" to the interior.



Check back later in the week to see all of the new changes, including the hardwood floors, carpet, countertops, alarm, etc...

Thanks,

Dave
