Title: renovation
Post by: bigrob on January 09, 2003, 03:28:06 AM

this might be completely uninteresting to everyone but me , so stop reading here if you don\'t care about me renovating my flat by my self from scratch

Ahh, so you do care ;-) , ok !

Anyway. I have started this stupidly big project in my home. I am renovating it completely.  I have almost manage to finish kitchen after maybe 60 hours of work. I knocked out part of a concret wall a sort of mad stuff. Since this is the first time I do this stuff there is a lot to lern. e.g, how to use mortar so the end result  does not look like 6 year olds handy work.

Now I moved on to livingroom, which will feature a build into the wall winefridge, bartable in mahogny between the kitchen and livingroom

the other big things that are left to do is tile the floor in the kitchen, and tile tiel walls in the hallway. and also sand down the old wooden floor and put a new finsih onto them. In the bedroom I will build a custom made closet. Hopefully everthing should be ready end of march.

And if you\'d like, I will post some pics when its done.


Anyone else done this sort of thing ??

laugh all you want, but when you see the result you will want me....

The style this is done in is scandinavian minimalism. (I am swedish by the way) semi dark wood, white walls and brushed aluminum and steel.

no pink fluffy shit here....

by the way samwise: my favorit architect and furiture designer is danish. Arne Jacobsen rules !!

Ah cool. :)

I\'d love to have the time and money make my apartment really cool, but alas I do not. But it\'ll come! :D

BTW, don\'t mind Bob. He\'s just on a stupidity streak.

Oh.. I wasn\'t implying your room would be "gay".  It actually sounds pretty cool.

I\'m into do-it-yourself work. One of my favorites is doing tile work and putting up sheetrock.

I have a boatload work to do at my house this spring.

You should post some before and after pics.
