Home Improvement

So Michelle & I started the process of renovating the interior of our condo. First in order was taking down these hideous blue drapes and roll-down blinds in our common room. The previous owners decorated as if they were in the 1970's (our place was built in1994). Installing the new pleated and vertical blinds was tougher than we thought (probable metal behind the walls), but we persevered and finished our task. See the before and after shots ...

Next up was installing a shower door in our guest bath. As you can see, the previous owner was enamored with pink! Overall I think the doors are a bit more practical and classy ...




Next up is removing the laminate surfacing in our bathrooms and kitchen. We're looking at some granite options later today, and will hopefully get this project started soon. Stay tuned for some more pics ...

Puppy Love ...

There' s no getting around the fact how much we adore our "baby girl" Ginger. We're now getting used to the idea of letting her hair run a bit longer, especially since the temps have been under 60 at night. We didn't experience this in Florida until January, Michelle thinks we're in for a rough winter :-( ... but I digress ... anyways, enjoy these candid shots ... not much going on at the present, we're getting some contractor quotes for interior design work. Stay tuned for more details ...
