New condo!

I now own the condo so let the remodel begin!  The painters come in the morning.  The entire place will be painted white.  Sherwin Williams Extra White SW7006.  It is a dark condo so it needs white walls.  Plus, it goes in line with my inspiration of modern Swedish design.  The kitchen countertops will be "apple martini" quartz.  See color below.



Here is a lamp I bought at Scan Home in Anchorage.  It should look nice over the white leather couch.


Now for the ugggllyyy:


Note the popcorn ceiling and seafoam walls.  The walls from the kitchen to the living room will be knocked down in order to open it up.  The fireplace will be completely ripped out.  I ran out of money because the kitchen, new floors, and paint topped me out at $47,000!!  So, my contractor will make the fireplace very basic for now with mosaic tile around the fireplace.  I will not have a mantle and will put the flat screen above it.  I still need to buy new doors and change out the electrical outlets but I can do that with each paycheck that comes in.  This remodel does NOT include the 1.5 baths that need gutting.  All in due time.  But then it will be completely new and I will have a beautiful place to come home to every day.

I head to Virginia tomorrow night to see Yotti and mom.  I will pick up the round 8 foot rug I shipped there and hope I like it well enough to ship to Alaska!
