It was too pretty to leave behind. :)<BR/><BR/>Marley - no hangovers. I want to FEEL and enjoy myself. Can still count on one hand the number of times I've been drunk in my life :)<BR/><BR/>You are all most kind and understanding. There will be no money to redecorate this time but the improvements should be worth the trouble and the money. I could have easily spent all of the money from the sale of my daughter's apartment - but I must also think of the rainy days ahead.<BR/><BR/>Sweet dreams.Isadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503636172821725779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404868543644598223.post-63794475461991320012008-03-10T18:08:00.000+01:002008-03-10T18:08:00.000+01:00good luck with that, I totally hated when we renov...good luck with that, I totally hated when we renovated ours :))!Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389922868709027304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404868543644598223.post-47915118696208958232008-03-10T07:12:00.000+01:002008-03-10T07:12:00.000+01:00Well, you have my sympathy.

My cats will have the best time in her garden.<BR/><BR/>There is no problem with the looks of the place - it is the functionality. It is the 9th year I've owned the apartment and did only cosmetic improvements aside from the kitchen and bath upon moving in.<BR/><BR/>The electrical wiring is way out of date and had caught fire once already. While they are opening walls I'm also having radiators installed for proper heating. The living room has a tile heating unit that is totally inept at heating the 390 sq. feet space with 12 foot ceilings. You see the corner window where lots of heat escapes, the room itself is over the entry (totally unprotected) and the other wall faces the stairwell. These will be insulated now including the floor. (The parquet floors will be taken up, re-lined and reinstalled after the insulation) There is no heat at all in the dining room, bath and kitchen although it is not as bad as the living room as those spaces do have another apartment below for some protection.<BR/><BR/>At the same time the internet cable, phone lines and TV cable will also be installed into the walls rather than tripping over webs of wires.<BR/><BR/>Room colors and crown moldings are still a mystery as to what I would like - decisions, decisions. Decorating magazines are becoming a hazard :)<BR/><BR/>Very much looking forward to the end results and would be delighted to share photos.<BR/><BR/>Back to boxing - have a great day y'all! And thanks again.Isadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503636172821725779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404868543644598223.post-30248287881424664762008-03-09T17:11:00.000+01:002008-03-09T17:11:00.000+01:00Renovations?
