WORK IN PROGRESS

I've been visiting this apartment building in Berlin for almost five years and am glad to see that the long and winding staircase up to our friend's 6th floor apartment is almost complete.  Last spring the workers had sanded the stairs down and over the winter it looks like they installed the lovely herringbone sisal runner.  These carpets will last for 10 years on one side and can be flipped for another 10 years use on the other side.  What may be an expensive investment will outlast most synthetic alternatives.  This is not an upscale building, to find such luxurious fixtures in a standard apartment in Toronto would be shocking.  There are some loose ends left to tie up and perhaps for our next visit the reno will be complete.
