Trendboulevard in Zurich
Another interesting event is coming up soon, during the Easter weekend the
Trendboulevard will take place in Zurich.
It is an exposition for design, architecture and fashion, with
Karim Rashid speaking on
april 5th.
Attention though, the exposition won't be open on friday and sunday.
Un fortunately, the Trendboulevard-website doesn't seem to list all the designers & architectes, even though they announced it for being complete by march 19th.
I'll try to go, probably on monday.
Enjoy your sunday!

Originally uploaded by 36metres-carres.I've received all the price quotations by now, just have to clarify one point tomorrow with the plumber and then i'll send back the offers. And off it goes !
Today, i started sorting through my stuff in the kitchen, filling up the Outbox and packing up what i won't need for the next few weeks.
It feels quite relieving to let go of stuff, things i've kept for sentimental reasons but not using them anymore.
It made me also become aware of how taste changes during the years, things i've found very cool and hip years ago, don't please me anymore, and they have been replaced by others which are more at my taste and style today.

bathroom
Originally uploaded by 36metres-carres.Past week the electrician and plumber passed to give a price quotation for the work that needs to be done. I've already the quote from the electrician and hope i'll receive the one from the plumber this week.
Talking with both of them also gave me a more claer idea about the "flow" of the work, that means that both of them need to come several times according to the advance the work is taking. Now i'm trying to find a professional to pull down the wall closet in the kitchen, but this seems to be more difficult. I 've called a company, but they were fully booked, and redirected me to another. I'm waiting for this one to call me back.
I might paint the kitchen myself, so i think that i will paint as well the ceiling of my bathroom, which is painted right now in a petrtol-blueish color. My bathroom is very dark, though it has white tiles, but there really is very lilltle light now. The electrician will fix new lights there, and by painting the ceiling in a glossy white, it will solve a bit more of this problem. I hope.
Well that's the current state of things, this upcoming week i hope to able to find somebody for the closet, i'll might already buy the fridge and start to clean out the cupboards in the kitchen. I also will start to clean out my cupboard in the office room and buy a new closet for it, as i need a space to put my vacuum. It's now stored in the big closet in the kitchen, but there won't be any space for it once the kitchen is finished.

Appartment Therapy Cure 1/ march 07
kitchen0002
Originally uploaded by 36metres-carres.At the beginning of the year i was writing about my plans for my appartment. I'm planning to re-do my kitchen, as it is old, not practical and the appliances are arriving at an end-of-life-state. There is very little counterspace. My kitchen also has on one wall a huge closet, but i decided to get rid of it.
The floorplan is done, and i did quite a lot of research for new appliances ( stove, fridge, washing machine ) and for the furniture. Now, i'm in the phase of asking offers for the work that needs to be done. Next week an electrician and a plumber will come over to have a look and quote a price. I'm still looking for an "allrounder" who takes down the closet walls, takes down the old kitchen, paints( eventually, but maybe i'll do it myself ) and mounts / installs the new furniture and counterspaces.
As i'm a huge fan of Appartment Therapy, i decided to join the Cure which started this monday. I'll post regularly on the progress, once i have the price quotations it should go quite quick.
The upcoming week i'll go to Habitat & Jardin in Lausanne, a show where all the suppliers of appliances, furniture, decoration and so on, will be present. Sometimes you'll be able to get some special discount if you buy at the show. It's always good to save some money...
