N: Renovation Complete!

We moved into our new place in late Nov.  The place is awesome.  Probably the warmest home we have lived in in China, close to the university where we study Chinese, safe for Shep, and the community is small compared to some of the more modern complexes in the area.

Not too long ago I posted some pictures of the place prerenovation, during renovation, and today I have the complete picture.  Drapes are hung, furniture is place, and camera charged.  The work we needed done:

• install a bathtub


• a sink in the bathroom - to replace the one taken out to make room for the tub


• move washing machine connections to bathroom - previously in dining room


• Patch holes, fresh paint


• Replace kitchen spicket with kitchen faucet, move water source BELOW sink rather than above.

 
We added a pedestal sink to the opposite wall. 

Notice: no spicket above the sink.  It was moved below the sink making room for a drying rack. 

 
The rest of the kitchen.

 
 Dining room.  kitchen is behind the sliding glass doors.  VERY common in China.

 
 
 Our bedroom.  We dry our laundry in the sun room connected to our bedroom.  There is a system of pulleys & wires that raises the line up and down.

  
 
 Shep's room.  We added blackout curtains behind the Jacks curtains to help with the sun during naptime.

 
livingroom.

 
 the office.

It is about 970sqft.  3 bedrooms, livingroom, dining room, kitchen, bathroom.  The first place we rented as a married couple in denver was 1 bedroom, livingroom/dining room, bathroom, kitchen. Also 970 sqft.
