It is 2 days before deadline and it is going to be tight. The kitchen was the biggest mess and needed the most work, which is on-going & hopefully completed late today or early tomorrow morning.
I am staging a vacant 1 bedroom condo for a gentleman who turned 100 in September. As his eyesight has failed, he finally had to move into assisted living nearby. He has actually come over a few times wanting to help with the renos, and has been wanting to choose the paint colours. NOT!!!
The funnest (have always wanted to use that word, altho not great english) part of this job is the contributions from our retail and artistic communities KERNS FURNITURE BOUTIQUE is sending over a queen bed, a dresser and night stand; KISS HOME & GARDEN BOUTIQUE has loaned me a lovely table and a gilt edged mirror as welll as decor items; ARBUTUS TREE INTERIOR has provided decor items; and one of the Coast's most renowned artists Anita Lundbloom has graciously loaned me 4 pieces of her art.
The realtor, Russ Qureshi of Remax, sold my services to the owner/seller and he is totally OK with notices that all of these lovely pieces are for sale.
I am going to have a draw for a free re-design or staging consultation in exchange for a minimum $5 donation to Habitat for Humanity.
Other members of this condo community have been dropping in, anxious to see what we are doing in Stan's suite, so we are having a special reveal for them and the owner. I have invited our local newspaper, the COAST REPORTER and hopefully they will follow up.
So, to refresh your memory, this condo had dated wallpaper in every room. I was asking for paint colour suggestions for a beach theme in a condo near the marina. I went with a lovely beach sand colour in the LR/DR/entry area; gossimer blue in the bedroom and ocean air in the bathroom and walk-in which connect from the bedroom.
The kitchen & laundry room are being painted Paie Moon and will have new terracotta tiles on floor. I have taken out the upper cupboards which were in very bad shape and due to budget, going with open shelving. The counter and bottom cupboards will be done in melamine paint to make up for defects and will all be Black Bean Soup.
I will be sorry to see this project come to an end.
