After four years of restoration, two of those years on this particular apartment, I am pleased to announce that our dwelling is finally habitable. It’s far from finished, but it’s done enough so that we can furnish it and work around that.

This is normal for us. We haven’t lived in a house that wasn’t under construction since 1994 back when we were renting. Once we get this kitchenette sink in, we’ll probably give it a rest, leaving some areas without moulding or paint for a few years.

But for now…..a couple of weekends off to enjoy Brooklyn.

Ah, seems like only yesterday it looked like this….

10. “Fancy paint” for trim and medallion

We bought that sweet nice sofa 5 years ago for the Beacon house, back when we had money.

It sat in the unused living room along with 2 other vintage sofas all these years.

It’s a Mitchell Gold, purchased new at Lounge in High Falls.
