Mid renovation

Having completed the installation of all new electrical cabling and lighting in the front of the apartment, repainting of walls is underway. Window and door frame woodwork has also been clear seal varnished (matt) to bring out the richness of the wood throughout the apartment. Before the final coat of paint, the floors will be sanded and varnished, then the final coat of paint given, and then the furniture, currently stored in the second bedroom, will be moved into the front living area, enabling us to complete the rewiring and repainting and redo the floors in the rest of the apartment.

New electrical outlets in the walls (not loosely strung cables as before)

Woodwork vastly improved, now that it has been sealed

Note: switch face plates are provisional - new ones will be fitted after painting

New lighting in the living and dining rooms : provision for wall sconces has been made, on both sides of the archway, in both the living and dining room, for uplighting

and now ceiling lights that function in all rooms (dimmers will be fitted) allowing chandeliers to be fitted (as desired)
