Bathroom Renovation

My model building is not very active at the moment: business is great and that obviously comes first.
And: I am renovating a real one-bedroomed apartment!!

No 'doing-it-all-myself' - need to organize and rely on plumber, electrician, tiler, carpenter and other suppliers. 
The 30-year old kitchen needs to be replaced - but that will not be a major issue.
It is the rather dated bathroom that gave me a headache: 4m2 is not a lot of room to play with and I do not want to spend a fortune either.



The choice of ceramics, tiles and all that stuff is nearly too much! Decisions, decisions... but I eventually had to decide.

As a passionate miniaturist I thought that I better make a model first... hihi
Now I know what this tiny bathroom should look like :-))


The downlight made me realize that there was not enough light in the shower area!
I am thinking of adding an LED strip to the left side of the mirror cabinet..


Whether I really find this kind of basin with cabinet? Not sure, probably will have to settle for a square one...

Will update you with pix once it is all done!

Update June 21st 2015: all completed in real life! Unfortunately I could not source a round vanity, but I like the square one, too.

Log Cabin Video

The worst thing about making a video is detecting the flaws!
So, there I was thinking everything was as perfect as it could be...
Carpet that was not laying firmly to the ground, a piece of thread that was not cut, a toothpick left on the lounge floor (!), tape of the background picture was in the photo, etc.
After about 8 hours of cutting I found myself with another 8 shots that had to be re-done! grrr..
But eventually I had to control my perfectionism and just get on with it :-)


Now, proudly presenting the video of the Log Cabin!!




And since I had a few pix taken during construction and was now fully familiar with imovie 10
I assembled as short 'making of' trailer as well... just for the fun of it.




Mini plans (next to a busy time at work...)?
- doing some skiing and enjoying winter outdoors
- some real 'renovation' work at my home
- David Neat workshop would be great, too..

New blog posting the moment the fever hits me again ... probably real soon ...
