Loft update

Loft update

We made a little trip downtown over the weekend to check on the progress of our loft. It's definitely starting to take shape now that the walls are up. What's really fun is to finally be making some decisions about what it will look like.

For instance:

• The floor throughout is a polished concrete like this.


• Our kitchen cabinets and countertops look like this.


• We think this light will be hanging over the dining table.


• We'd like to get this couch (in gray), or at least something similar.


• This is the light fixture for the bedroom.


• This powerline wall graphic will be on one wall, which will be painted bright green, in the bedroom. The rest of the walls will be white. (The green wall also denotes our "office" and will have a curtain we can use to close it off if we want.)


• As for the other rooms' wall colors, we think the bathroom, kitchen and living room will all be white, aside from the exterior wall in the living room which is a cool rustic brick.


• And the jury's still out on the rest of the lighting decisions, plus the bathroom fixtures.

It's becoming increasingly easy to see ourselves there now. We're so ready that I think we'd be willing to move in amongst the sheetrock and electricians. It will certainly be small, but I think that makes it cozy. Besides, there will now be a whole city at our doorstep, giving us so much more space than we ever dreamed of.
