Wall Paint

The first coat of paint is on the walls, so it's beginning to look like a house. I was concerned with the old plaster walls, but they turned out great. We coated the surface with a thin layer of spackling compound, then sanded the surface. After two rounds it looks nearly perfect. The old wood moulding will be sanded and repaired before the final coat of paint is applied.

Cabinet Installation

The last few weeks have seen considerable progress. Once we overcame delays related to the double meter box, the drywall was hung, plaster repaired and first coat of primer applied to all the walls. Today, the basement and main kitchen cabinets were installed. I went with Kraftmaid cabinets for the main kitchen and pre-made Home Depot specials for the basement rental unit.

Kitchen Tile

The kitchen tile turned out really nice. I went with a silk black porcelain tile by Kaska. The herringbone pattern works nice on this floor, making the space feel larger with the movement of the pattern. The cabinets and appliances will be installed over the tile for a smooth and level finish all around.
