This is the Stolmen series from Ikea. I didn't like any of the predesigned configurations so I put together something that I thought would work well. It ALMOST did. See the tower on the right? Yeah, that's supposed to be above the shirts but the wall brackets were installed too low to fit it. And then I had to put the connectors for the shelves on an angle as the brackets mount the poles to close to the wall to allow for the shelves and drawers to fit the way they're supposed to. Despite this, I'm fairly pleased with the Stolmen series. It's sturdy, easy to customize and, while frustrating as hell to put together, once the posts are installed where they need to be, it's not exceedingly difficult to figure out the rest. And, yes, I had help installing the posts and drawers. The rest I did on my own.<br />

I also hired The Fixer (Jay!) to install the chandeliers and drill into the brick to install the drapery hardware. First world problem... my Restoration Hardware rod is two inches too short for the window on the wall behind the bed. I ordered a longer one. The rod just barely worked for the window behind the sofa.<br />

The chandeliers actually work fairly well in the space. Definitely adds some feminine elements to what is a masculine space with the exposed post and beam and brick.<br />

The entire loft has fantastic light thanks to four massive windows. At first I wondered if I might be tempted to paint the brick out but after living with it, there is no chance of that. I love the patina it's developed over the years. The floors are the original fir and are in great shape. Again, you can tell they're original. There's dings and gouges from having been used as a warehouse but they are warm and interesting.<br />
<br />
If you are vaguely OCD and disinterested in measuring, might I suggest a gallery wall to keep you occupied for hours ever so slightly straightening picture frames. This was my first attempt.

Bolstered by the moderate success of the first gallery wall, I attempted a second, larger one. It turned out somewhat better, likely because there's more space between the pieces. I desperately need shelving for my books. I'm thinking about ordering something from <a href="http://www.yubecube.com/">Yube Cube</a>.<br />

Smudge, post lily consumption and requisite 36 hours at the veterinary clinic to ensure his kidneys weren't going to fail. He's fine. His opinion of not one but two car rides, medication to force vomiting, IV and being served food that isn't his favourite? Bull shit!<br />

Everything is so perfectly symmetrical. It's lovely. Against the piller between the two windows that define the living and dining areas, I stuffed my desk. The art is waiting on Jay to come and drill holes into my brick. I don't trust my own mad skillz to do it myself. Also, I don't think I have a masonry bit.<br />

This place is perfect as it is. My serial renovator days are over. Do you know how nice it is to walk in and have your home tell you to sit and relax and enjoy verses presenting with a lengthy and expensive laundry list of work to be done? Aside from getting some light fixtures up and throwing a couple of long and low bookshelves under the windows in the living and dining room, there's absolutely nothing to do. And I love it that way.Leyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11480756762964669607noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793562491988945574.post-288001445278314742012-10-24T15:25:00.002-07:002012-10-24T15:25:43.579-07:00Over half packed<div style="text-align: center;">

Financing came through Friday - huzzah! Waiting on the estoppel but that sounds like it's coming today at some point so, once I can review, it will be time to lift conditions. Once I can do that, I'm going to book a time to get in and take measurements and take some photos. I'd like to do my space planning before the move so the movers can just place the furniture where it should go verses me being a crazy person dragging everything into different seating configurations for hours on end.<br />
<br />
In other news, I have the start of a flu. Looking at loft porn is making me feel better. <br />

Trying to figure out something inexpensive for book shelves and additional storage. Every time I buy a place, the first thing I do is build book shelves... For now, they'll be in piles on the desk and floor. I might be breaking out ye olde reclaimed closet doors from Restore solution for the time being. Actually work pretty good for shelving and painted out white they look quite nice. I'm thinking oversize cubes and running them under both massive windows in the living and dining rooms. Hmm... </div>

Also, I will have no closet. There's no closed storage, or really any storage at all, in the entire place. Instead of losing floor space to put in a closet (also I'm cheap and don't want to have to pay for walls, etc), I'm thinking about just doing something wall-mounted. Which means my clothes will always be on display. So, I'll either always have everything hung nicely. Or my bedroom will look like a giant laundry explosion. </div>

Perhaps Google searching warehouse lofts is not a sensible activity - at least until sometime on Thursday. The movers are booked.<br />

We spent two amazing weeks just outside of Halifax and stayed with a family my parents are very good friends with. They owned this gorgeous 150 year old home - and I fell in love with it. Those two weeks were spent shucking clams in the kitchen, picking raspberries and eating them while still warm from the sun, curling up in four poster beds at night and exploring every nook and cranny (of which there were quite a few) of the property. Ever since that trip, I've wanted to buy a ramshackle old house and fix it up.<br />
<br />
This house was my dream and I'm really proud of what we did for it. Seven years of non-stop renovations that included living without functional plumbing and exposed, cracked sewer pipes, sleeping in the dining room, gaping holes in the foundation in the middle of winter, the front porch being taken out by an errant bobcat and showering next to the kitty litter in the basement. I won't ever take on a project of this magnitude again. But I'm glad I did it.<br />
<br />
I know that the new owners are so excited to move in and are smitten with their soon-to-be home. This is my last post about my love story with my old house and the beginning of theirs.<br />

The original bath was cannibalized for the spa bath and is now a small bathroom with toilet and pedestal sink. It's a good option to separate these out from the shower and tub if you only have one bath in the house</div>

I have a few other photos from the shoot that was done for the MLS listing saved at work that I'll add next week. I really thought that I was going to be so sad to leave this house and with all of the condos I looked at, I tried to figure out how I could replicate the old house in the new, smaller space. I think it's because I liked none of them nearly as much as my home and I could only see them as being pale, shabby replicas. With the mortgage insurer indicating they weren't going to approve the small, overpriced condo I was attempting to remove conditions on because of the building's heritage designation and overall condition, I was back to the drawing board. So, so glad I checked the warehouse district because I'm now working to remove conditions on a property I'm giddy over. </div>

On my wishlist of homes to own is an industrial warehouse conversion. And it's beautiful - exposed brick, post and beam, gleaming hardwood, 11 foot ceilings, massive windows and fantastic finishings (the Wolf range and stainless steel sink and counters yes, the soapstone pedestal sink... not so much). It's also decidedly practical as it's well priced, with new systems (the electrical panel and Crane furnace had me giggling, the windows are top notch as you can't hear ANY street noise) and both the warehouse building and the condo itself are in fantastic shape. Please let the third time be the charm.<br />

Here are the photos from the photoshoot for the house listing:<br />

Egyptian hieroglyphs everywhere... And the laundry room was possibly even worse. Renos to both rooms have been completed for a while and my mom was kind enough to sew some lovely blinds (and pillows!) for both rooms. They were down visiting last weekend and helped us string and hang them. I also painted the cubby for our toiletries and just needs some baskets. Next up is art work.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Hmm, strange. This kitchen has everything I like in it but I don't really like it much at all. I'm not sure why because all the disparate (and awesome!) elements are pulled together very well. We have the slatted ceiling, wood floors, black and white colour scheme, white subway tile - even the pulls and an orchid. Interesting. Anyways, moving the uppers all the way to the ceiling and then installing shelves underneath, though, is a fantastic idea.</div>Leyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11480756762964669607noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793562491988945574.post-90837067749247185912011-06-22T15:15:00.000-07:002011-06-22T15:15:39.033-07:00Design CrushesI've had design crushes on a variety of folks over the year. I think Tommy Smythe is amazeballs. Like me, he hates boob lights and he loves going over budget. And he's the designer of my favourite kitchen of all time ever. I'd link to his webpage but he doesn't have one. Only a<a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/tommystatus"> twitter account</a>...<br />
<br />

I also flirted, like all Canadians did, with <a href="http://www.sarahrichardsondesign.com/">Sarah Richardson</a>. But, thinking back on it, the rooms she designed that I loved most? Tommy was in on them. <a href="http://www.designinc.ca/tr/tr.php?id=8&season=01">Behold, my most favouritist bathroom of all time ever. </a><br />
<br />

And who was the principal designer? I'll give you a hint...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.designinc.ca/images/tr/designers/tommy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="http://www.designinc.ca/images/tr/designers/tommy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
But my first and true design crush is on Suzanne Dimma. More specifically, her first living room. I remember when I first saw it. It was maybe eight or nine years ago. I snipped it out of my copy of <a href="http://houseandhome.com/">House and Home</a> and filed it away in a book. Now that she has become the editor of the magazine, all of the photos of her various residences past and present <a href="http://houseandhome.com/design/photo-gallery-suzanne-dimmas-houses">have been compiled into one gallery</a>. I still absolutely love this space and I think it looks as livable, inviting and fresh as it did so many years ago.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">She's since posted a photo of her living room from her next house. Absolutely gorgeous!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/images/1-stripes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/images/1-stripes.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">(suzanne dimma's living room on <a href="http://houseandhome.com/blogs">house and home</a>)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">From the rest of the photos posted, I agree with her assessment that the front entryway did not flow with the rest of the home. But how absolutely freaking gorgeous is it? LOVE! As you can see, she's continued to hang pictures from iron rods. Kind of still love that idea.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/LakeviewAfters11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/LakeviewAfters11.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><br />
Her show, <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/styledept/">Style Dept</a> was also a favourite. Pretty much every room they staged caused me to swoon. In particular, there was this one amazing bedroom featured in the episode "Flea Market Style." Unfortunately, I can't find any photos. Boo! <br />

Still Not PaintedYesterday, we did a top to bottom scrub of the house, rearranged the furniture in the study and then picked up a few plants to keep the place from looking completely barren. I also did an inventory of all of the artwork I have waiting for frames to do the gallery walls... 58 pieces of various sizes. I'm off to HomeSense today to find some nice looking pots for our two trial plants (please kitties don't eat them or use them as a second bathroom like you did their predecessors) and to start the process of collecting picture frames.<br />
<br />
As well, I'm starting the hunt for some type of window treatment. I'm thinking floor to ceiling drapes in blue or some shade in between. Or maybe yellow? Not sure if I want pattern...<br />
<br />
Here's what it all used to look like when we first after we ripped up the carpet and realized why the original floor had been covered in the first place (oh, and I had been sampling different whites...)<br />
<br />

Today Kurt's finally installing the blinds in both bathrooms. No more towels as makeshift window coverings! It's only been a year... As I said, for a long time we were all reno'd out.<br />
<br />
Edited to add: Yay! Found an 11x14 so Snow White and the Usual Suspects is now over the sofa. This sofa is new. It does not appear so. As you can see, the cats think it's theirs. <br />

When I'm no longer feeling completely and totally reno'd out, I really, really, really want to rip up the carpet in the half storey and then paint the whole thing out white - floors and all. <br />

The main floor receives very little natural light while the second floor is washed with it. It gives both spaces a very different feel and it's been interesting trying to unify the two. <br />
<br />
On the main floor, I'm moving to darker, richer pops of colour on a white background:<br />

I'm just waiting on our insurance company to finalize Norm's quote. Looks like the work will be done in the spring. In the meantime, there's lots of small projects including way too much painting, wallpaper to be applied to the stairs leading from the main to the second floor and tiling in the kitchen. Should keep me busy over the cold winter months (well, that and training for the upcoming CrossFit Games season).<br />
<br />
While the outside of the house has an air of crack den, the insides are spiffied up for the holiday season. The tree looks a little bit like it might be drunk. One of the many reasons I love getting a real tree verses using an artificial one. Oh, and in case you're wondering. Yes, the cats knocked it over twice before a 50lb weight vest was added at the base to keep the poor thing upright.<br />

This weekend is supposed to not be particularly nice out (rain, cold) and the gym is closed (but I have a key) so my guess is we will get down to work and finish a room or two. I'd like to get the study and powder room painted as well as some curtains up in the bedroom. I'm sure our neighbours would appreciate it. <br />
<br />
To help motivate myself, I've been reviewing some house porn on the internets.<br />
<br />
First up, soft white walls, diffused light and natural textures. I want to curl up on the bench with a strong cup of coffee and rub my bare feet on the soft rug.<br />

Ugh! The good news is we will be moved into our new bedroom and dressing room next weekend. The final coat on the woodwork was done yesterday and Kurt's putting the final coat on the walls and ceiling as well as installing our face plates and chandelier. Yayness! I so can't wait to actually start the fun stuff with styling our rooms.<br />
<br />
Some house porn to make me feel better and get me in the mood... for more painting. The powder room is up next. <br />

The bed that's in the room is down from the guest room temporarily so my parents have a place to sleep while they're down. The guest room up in the half storey... not so much suitable for guests right now.<br />

Last week, I stumbled across a real find on Used Regina - an antique desk from the CPR rail line. It's in really good condition and fits perfectly in the space between the exterior wall and the railing in the study. It's massive. Originally, I toyed with painting it black but now I'm not so sure. It's kind of lovely just as it is.<br />

This last weekend, mom took the time to sew the roman blinds for both bathrooms. We can't string them up, though, until the drywall repair is completed. We friction fit them into the windows and, yes, they are going to look fantastic! I love my mom.<br />
