Quintessence of Dust

Whatever Hamlet had in mind, he certainly could have been describing my apartment which now has a fine glaze of dust on every surface, including the keys on which I am typing.

Today the sheetrock and plastering began and the actual contours of the rooms are becoming clear. I’m working on figuring out a way to add links to this blog so that readers can see the architects’ three dimensional rendering of the kitchen in comparison to the actual shapes. Until then, here are the latest views:

Looking into the kitchen area from the living room, you can see the corner of the new utility closet, and a bit of the storage space above it (which extends partially over the powder room).

Looking up you can see the soffit where the range hood will connect to the outside vent and the spots where pendant lights will hang.

This view is into the center of the kitchen. On the left wall will be the sink and dishwasher. On the right will be the microwave and the refrigerator (out of view), and just in back of the low wall is where the range will be. It's a small space but I think it will be a very easy to use kitchen.

The powder room is so compact, it's hard to photograph, but standing inside, it feels like just the right size.

Downstairs the master bath is really taking shape with shower, storage closet and tub on one side.

Bath anyone?

On the other side, space for the medicine cabinet and sink with the toilet on the far wall.

In the guest room, the new wall and closet configuration is clear. The closet space will be limited, but sufficient...

...and the closet situation in the master bedroom will begreatly improved with the conversion of the old lavatory into additional closet space.

Here you can see the location of the recessed lighting in the downstairs hall.

All the electrical work has required an expansion of the circuit box. I'll have to select a larger picture to cover it up!
