Cool Remodeling ICHQ

So now that ICHQ is a bachelor pad, Keebler and I need to kinda sorta remodel the hive so that it ... well so that it's more like a bachelor pad.

It started innocently enough, with the acquisition of a large display. Well of course the large display outshone everything else in the front room and we decided to try moving it to a different area. One thing led to another and a decision was made to remodel the dining room into a media room / home theater. So we decided "oh, we'll paint. No biggie."

Painting led to wallpaper removal. Wall paper removal led to thoughts of rearranging the cabinet space to make room for a bar. Rearranging cabinet space led to a nightmare of tearing apart almost everything.

So yeah, basically we're shooting for having this done by the St. Patty's Day Bash..... Cross your fingers

Must be done before St. Patty's bash! You got 6 weeks! Got it!

I just want to say that I am so ****ing sick right now with this awful flu that is going around that I am basically useless, but Keebs is really picking up the slack that I've given him and is basically rocking all over the place with the wallpaper removal.

I picked a great time to get sick! Viva la illness!

Wallpaper is gone. Cabinets ripped off wall. Most holes patched. One wall is clean and ready to prime, the others need cleaning and sanding. The kitchen is a total cluster**** between painting supplies and everything from under the sink (did we mention all the water damage under the sink that turned the wood under there into clay?) The former studio / Keebs' new room has been patched, sanded, cleaned, primed, and two of the walls painted. Perry is terribly sick and Brian is following in his footsteps - they're both staying home tomorrow. I'm on multi-vitamins and OJ to keep it away from me. Yay what a weekend!

I like pink ties! They look great with black suits and shirts.

I sort of like this room, how do you feel about it Buddy Jesus?


These pieces are great too!




Pink fluffy lights!

(P.S. (To anyone) I wasn't sure what format the forum wanted pictures submitted in, so someone let me know if this is bad or something)

I know Prime is partial to Asian/Buddhist decor. It needs more bamboo. Maybe green bamboo. It looks cool with pink.

As far as the dieing thing goes, you clearly need better drugs.

Alright alright.... I'm kinda over feeling like I'm gonna pass out every four minutes, so on with the pics.

The "before" shots: Those of you who have been to ICHQ know how shoddy the dining room was:

I'll come check it out at the LAN if someone helps cover the plane ticket and considering I worked in Construction and architecture for at least 6 years I could be of some help in re tiling the main bathroom

We decided that since the former dining room would be turning into the media center, there was no need for a pantry / food cabinet in there. The blue area is where we yanked the food cabinet and we're going to be building a little bar there.

Keebler's moving upstairs. The room used to be a weird melony/orange with blue carpet and a sky blue ceiling. Very odd. He's going a bit more traditional. One wall done.

The window is the only good thing about the room I'm hacking those hedges down to size before spring so I have a view of the pond, etc.
