Wrapping Up

Well, things are looking good.  There are a small number of odds and ends to do... mostly cleaning up and throwing out stuff that should have been thrown out before :-).  However, the club looks fantastic and they're getting ready to host their first event soon.

Functionally, the bathroom was one of the biggest improvements - with two brand now toilets, we can now better accommodate guests.  It doesn't hurt that the bathroom looks way nicer than it used to!

While we took out some space on the kitchen layout, by eliminating the old hallway to the closet/storage area, we gained a ton of usable space.  The plentiful counter space and opening to the main room really makes the function of the kitchen a lot better.

The big improvement in the main area is the perceived size of the space.  The brightness of the wall treatment and trim combined with more modern lighting really has made for a warmer feeling space.

Finally, the new placement of the piano and trophies accentuates the space, rather than making it more cluttered.  I'm looking forward to the next party!

Cleaning up

While Mick still has a list of things to do (including some last minute colour changes... :-)), some of wall hangings are now in place that's starting to bring a more "lived in" feel to the club.  Looking good!

Finishing Touches

Things are looking up today as we applied a bunch of finishing items to the club.  The bathroom looks dramatically different now...

As does the view from the bathroom out to the "sun room"...

Perhaps the biggest functional change is the kitchen - more open,  better use of space and much better looking than the vintage kitchen that was there for many years leading up to this reno.

Time for the plumber!

Tony's team was in this morning to start the plumbing finish.

Meanwhile, we have the other part of the team doing the finishing aspects of the kitchen...

While Mick starts the final preparations for the last finish on the walls and trim.  Still busy, but looking a little cleaner in the club!

Finishing stage progressing well

It's really coming along at the club.... the backsplash is complete and looks sharp.

The fixtures are mostly in (though missing some lightbulbs!)

And some of the added touches are starting to be finalized, like the welcome cork board in the front foyer.
