Kitchen BeforeWhite Formica, white appliances, white floors, white walls, white doors, and of course white security bars on the white windows. Did I mention white sink with white faucet? I think the previous owner had some issues.Jun 12, 2009

Stairs BEFOREI guess the previous owners moved out around Christmas time. I wasn't crazy about the painted metal with intricate ironwork. And the wood was stained so dark you couldn't see the grain. So I decided to redo it.Jun 08, 2009

Stairs AFTERI reused all the wood, which turned out to be a beautiful Brazilian Imbuia.Jun 08, 2009

Living RoomHave been slowly furnishing the house. The wooden chair in the foreground was literally "shipped" from Miami aboard Calypso in March 2009. Also on board were the conga drums, guitar, all the books for the library, bicycle, and boxes of stuff. There was just enough space for me to sleep.Jun 08, 2009

Newly Completed KitchenAaah, that's better. After a year of designing, redesigning, building, veneering, pouring, grinding, polishing and varnishing, here is the (nearly) completed kitchen. Good thing I was out of work or it never would have been finished. Jun 08, 2009
