Welcome!

A bit more than a week ago we finally become the official owners of our new 1960's dream home. Now, it is time to transform this already beautiful place to our true dream home. It will take a considerable amount of time, money, sweat and tears, but the journey will be so worth it! 

Living room

When we first walked in we were so impressed by the huge living room windows and a beautiful brick walls. Currently, the place is mostly in its original condition. It has a lot of character, and we want to renovate it in a way that will honor the mid-century modern spirit of the apartment. The plan is to save as much of the original details as possible.
