Next Up
So next up is a Junior one bedroom. Now that the unfinishable floor is finally rented, we have moved on to working on one of the 2 "charming" Junior One Bedrooms (real estate speak for a very small one bedroom). We are attacking this one with way more confidence than we had when working on the unfinishable floor. We think we may have actually acquired some skills from working on the 4th floor and the bannister (I had sanded, scraped, and painted a good deal of that apartment and although it may not sound like much to you--it was more home renovating than I had ever done before and T -although always pretty handy-has learned how to grout, hang doors, fill holes, do light plumbing and all kinds of other stuff) AND we are taking a home maintenance and improvement course (scary huh?)
Our plan is to paint it light and bright (we would love to strip off all (or even just a little) of that caked on paint but we don't have that luxury--we are looking for tenants to occupy come November 1), take that kitchen out of the closet, install some nice clean cabinets, freshen up the bathroom with new fixtures, etc. --- mostly superficial cosmetic stuff. Here's hoping its a bit easier this time.....................
Oh and yes--we did have those floors done. I will post some pics in my next entry

Is a junior one bedroom half of a floor with the hallway walk-in closet included? I never could figure out what it was. I thought half a floor with that separate tiny room was a studio!

I don't know how others are configured but the bedroom is not in the hall --its a small room but fits a full bed easy and a queen wall to wall. it also has a pretty good closet (tall with lots o shelves) and fairly long. Its always hard to get a good shot of the room without a fancy camera but I'll do my best.
We actually finished the floors--I'll post all the details tonight.
