The floorboards came out really nice. I was worried they would look too different to the flooring in the rest of the apartment (the much darker flooring) so I got the guys to lay down the planks in the other direction to make it look more like a deliberate choice that I have different floorboards in the 3 bedrooms.
I decided to only rip off the ugly wardrobe doors on the first one you can see from the hallway. I’ll leave the rest of the ugly doors for now.
I found this cute (and huge) secret cat litter box online.
Hope Mia likes the upgrade!
Still not sure what to do with the huge gap on the side of the fridge. Putting the Dyson there for now.
All black erythang! I love all the black fittings throughout the apartment.
Had Strata call me today. They said the neighbour below me complained about the noise yesterday (when the guys were installing the floors). When I told them I was putting in floorboards the guy spat the dummy and said I needed Strata approval for that. Well fuck… I’ve been living in a house for 17 years. I had no idea!
Strata then asked me if I had used underlay (I hadn’t), and if I hadn’t I’d have to rip up all up and put underlay down to prevent people underneath me from hearing my footsteps (as if you’d be able to hear my footsteps through the concrete floors!). I outright refused, and suggested that we go step by step. IE: Why not wait and see if they complain about hearing my footsteps BEFORE I have to rip up the floorboards?! End of the day I called the flooring company and they confirmed that the flooring I chose has underlay built into it, and wouldn’t work with additional underlay. Strata seemed AOK about this, crisis avoided!
