Back to Fairbanks

Finally! The blog has caught up with me and has made it back to Fairbanks and our pad in Alaska. Here is the latest on our apartment. We are plugging along with our spare evening and weekend hours. We hope you like the transformation as much as we do.


The Living Room, so far. The table is a cute idea out of Lowe's Creative Ideas Magazine. It was assembled for under $45.

A sneak preview of our kitchen with glass top stove and a cauldron of cabbage soup. http://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/ I used V8 Tomato Juice, canned fire roasted tomatoes and red bell peppers instead of green for my variation.

A close-up of the pedestal sink in the bath. We still have about 5% to finish.

Ahh... th' colahhs.




The color for the dining nook is to the left and the linen closet is to the right.

A peek-a-boo view of the arctic entry from the spare bedroom.


Remodeling can be so messy. (March 2011)

Humming along. No sink - no dirty dishes!

The window has been replaced since this photo was taken. We are still working on the dreadful cabinets.


The way we were: Retro Ugly. Worth covering up :/

  2. Thanks for your compliments. We are doing the best that we can to add cheery colors; a contrast to the short winter days.
