Baxter Pointe Villa, after the renovation

April 20, 2015

After the lightning strike on my condo back in 2013, a couple of the houses suffered some damage. One was Baxter Pointe Villa, where the Yes paste had failed in the kitchen, bath and living room.

I removed the wallpaper and aquarium (which I wanted to keep in my private collection elsewhere). I scraped the glue and paint from the walls to start over in the kitchen and part of the living room.

And, now, for the big reveal!  :D

Even though I didn’t make changes to the exterior, I did take some updated photographs all around.

The exterior and landscaping have held up well in the past four years.

There really isn’t anything I would change about this build. :D

The sand sheds from time to time, but it is also in great condition.

The bedroom needed only a light dusting.

The bed was custom made for the space.

I was able to salvage the bathroom paper and just glued it back in place.

I made a new aquarium for the space.

I had to replace the living room paper around the aquarium base and to the right of it. I used Mini Graphics Wallpaper Mucilage.

I also finished the baseboard trim that I never got around to the first time around.

I was able to finally photograph the candles in the fireplace in a more realistic manner.

The kitchen cabinets had no damage — just the wallpaper, so now it’s all back together.

I raised the breakfast bar and bought two barstools from Just Miniature Scale to finish the space.

While it wasn’t hard work and there was not a lot to fix, I now know for certain that renovations are not for me. :D
