Hopefully you aren't bored with the apartment updates. I am going to show the process over the last month and a half room by room. I am starting with the kitchen. As you see on day one, we had a make shift table and that was it.
Not too much time went by when we were able to put together a bar using scrap wood left down on the street. Now this brings me full circle to the green aspect of coming from Seattle. Recycling is obviously a big deal in Seattle but so is the street treasure hunt. Living in Ballard for a time, I was able to find all sorts of old desks, chairs, etc., that needed a little work but turned out to be great finds. Brooklyn is becoming very similar to the Ballard and Fremont finds. It doesn't look like much here but keep reading.
We added some stability over time and started using it on a daily basis.
I convinced Raef and Katie to let me tile the top and Eddie brought over the goods. Katie and I are coming up with a plan for painting something on the time, possibly a city skyline.
Here is Eddie and I getting the tiles down, well mostly. We forgot about needing a tile cutter.
Raef was able to get some stools which just happen to be the perfect height and width for the already made bar. I added some shelving where we will store recyclables (theme comes full circle) on one side and storage on the other. We will make a couple other adjustments but this has been an invaluable piece of the kitchen.
