The last few weeks have been really busy - we thought it would quiet down after moving into the apartment and we'd be able to post updates more frequently. But it seemed like every day it was midnight before we knew it and we were off to bed! The crew removed some of the protective paper from the floor this week in preparation for hardwood sanding. We found some of the tape layout that we had put down back in February, we were remarkably accurate! Check out the before and after below.
 Feb 2013 - Pretending to type at the computer desk! This marks the desk and the new location for the stairs (the old stairs are behind the fireplace). |  August 2013 - No desk yet - so still pretending. What a huge change. Stairs are turned, fireplace is gone and the kitchen is exposed. |
Yup, that's the same tape as above! We were pretty accurate (lucky!) when we laid out the rough location of the new stairs and walls. The darker hardwood is original, the lighter is new.
We were almost bang on for the desk and wall, and off by about 8" for the stairs.
