2019 is nearly over, and so is our renovation - YAY

12/3/2019

It's been a huge year, but not in my writing world. In my home life. We've been renovating our apartment for ten months! I need a holiday.

To prove i haven't been sitting on my bum doing nothing, I thought I'd share some before and after pics.  I'd love to know what you think.

Here's the kitchen before and after. Yes, it's an Ikea kitchen. My hubby and I built it all ourselves.
And we're still married - YAY
For the first time in my life I have a walk-in pantry. AND I LOVE IT. Although we took away some kitchen space to build it, it's made the room look bigger.

I love my new stairwell. We replaced the ugly green railing with glass. Ripped up the carpet and painted the concrete stairs. And that little window gives my bathroom natural light. And I love my plants, they give the whole apartment a breath of fresh air.

Below is the main bathroom before and after. We raised the ceiling which made a huge difference. We have no idea why there was a false ceiling. The new window gives the bathroom lovely natural light. There are lots of lovely lights and some are on motion detectors. Doesn't my new bathroom look pretty?

Here is the before and after of the main bedroom. In an apartment its all about storage solutions.Once again, everything is Ikea. 
My hubby's hat collection now has its own display shelving.

The picture behind our bed is one I took in Copenhagen and i used it as the inspiration for my bed linen.I love it.

Anyway that's it for now.

If I don't chat with you before Christmas, I hope you have a wonderful festive season with lots of fun, love and laughter. And of course yummy food and wine.

Next year I'll be back on track with my writing, and I have lots on wonderful things in store to share with you.

Take care,
​Kendall Talbot

I especially love your bathroom. We are in a year long renovation of our own house do to a fire. We lost most of our stuff. But it was just stuff, we are in a nice rental and have each other. We have been blessed this holiday season.

Oh Theress, I can't imagine what you have been through. I am so sad for you. I'm so pleased you and your family are ok. I wish all the happiness in the world and hope the new year holds lots of lovely surprises for you.

Thank you Sheila. We had to do something, his collection is getting out of control. LOL. Those shelves only hold his fancy ones. But it's nice to have them on display. Some of them we've collected from all over the world.

The shelving is Ikea. Love Ikea....
