After Pictures of the Loft

Posted by ellen on March 16, 2011 at 3:20 PM

Here are a few "after" pictures of my Chinatown loft...I think I must have spent about 40 hours cleaning, sanding, filling, priming and painting.  I had some help from Nicole and Denny.  Nicole attacked the bannister with fierce zeal.  It's not in the pictures though 'cause the whole back of the loft has yet to be fixed up completely.  Denny brought many tools and an invaluable tall step ladder, and contributed his time to wall prep and helping me move, along with his son Jute (see on stepladder flexing guns).  I really appreciate all the help, guys!

There's still a lot to do but the main space is pretty well complete.  It's going to be sweet!

The space is so cute. The hardwood floors look amazing and I love the trim around the windows. Did you do the paint job?

Nicely done - looks great!! And Jute is big! I think the last time I saw a photo of him he was like 5 years old! And i realized in seeing your photos that I have been to this loft before, many years ago, a memory that I had completely forgotten until I saw your photos. Cool space - I can't wait to visit! xo

Emmy, any time you want to do anything with/in my space you are welcome. I'm still remembering that conversation we had about doing a photo shoot! I want to do that, later in the spring.
