Before and After photos of our Apartment!!

Here is a link to photos of our apartment. There are lots of before photos and a few after photos. I need to take some more 'after' photos to do it justice.

We had to stucco several walls, sand all of them a lot, paint at least 2 coats on each, lay in our floor and stain the floor! We stained it a dark brown color, with a reddish hint in it.

Thanks to Jan, Arno's dad, for all of the help!!

Bedankt, Jan en Jose, voor jullie hulp en ondersteuning!!
















We replaced 3 doors with arches to open up the apartment. They look great!








Here are some more to give you a taste:










We have since hung up a lot of pictures and things so it changes on a weekly basis almost! I will add more photos of the other rooms soon.

Wow! Arno and Melissa Congratulations on all the hard work and the finished product! Your apartment condo looks Great. I'm sure it was a lot of hard work, (blood, sweat and tears) but I'm sure it was fun too since you can be so creative with it.

Your apartment is AMAZING Ruggles! Absolutely beautiful :) and ALL yours and Arnos :). Maybe one day I'll finally own a place and hopefully it'll come together as great as yours!
