The Apartment - AKA the dungeon

Can you say wholly panelling and gold appliances. This was actually my starting point in September 2008. I moved in and started ripping out cabinets the same day. I actually refused to spend a night there until we ripped out the shag carpeting. I was scared of what we couldn't see in the nearly 30 year old flooring.

HENEGHAN STREET DUPLEX - Good, Bad and Ugly - Main Living Area

About 3 years ago,I had a property mid-life crisis and purchased a run down 70's styled duplex. I have spent about every spare weekend and dime I've had bringing it into the new milenium. Wow, if I knew then what I do now about scraping popcorn off of virtually every room in the place, I might have reconsidered that idea. I still have a ways to go, but here are some examples of what a little elbow grease and determination can do (oh yea and a few extra bucks couldn't hurt.) Anyway, I am creating this blog as a way to track my progress because sometimes it doesn't seem like there is any.
