C'est finis

We're still waiting to hear if we passed the rental appraisal, but we're pretty much done phase 1 of the renos. There are a couple things that need attention - we haven't thrown out the mirrored doors as the resort may want them, so they're still in the bedroom, there are some outlets still to change and we have a couple pictures to put up. Phase 2 will be a complete overhaul of the bathroom, new kitchen counter, backsplash and cupboards, bedroom ceiling.

And with a few final touches:
Here are the befores and afters:

Foyer

Bedroom closet

We celebrated the finishing (and also arleen's bday) as well:

And that's it! We'll mount the tv and get rid of the tv table, and probably paint the coffee table black and antique it. A lot of things like that, and bringing up some new furniture, we can do while it's on the rental program and use the place on a free night.

We're really happy to be done before summer, because we look over the golf course and the lake and it would be rather depressing to be cooped up doing work while watching everyone else having fun outside. We'll probably add some new pics and video next week after a couple more things are added and update the rental info.

Big thanks to: Grant for his design help, advice and inspiration; Tomas for his help in removing the carpet and hanging the light (too bad it took you 6 hours to get home in the snow!); Don for helping to stock the bookshelves with a variety of interesting reads; Arleen for the great "lucky" frog and wooden propeller clock; and Dave for his great work with the foyer wall, potlights and closet doors.
