Project Close-Out

I officially had my first project close-out last week with my new company.  This property is on a fairly major university in upstate New York, and I am happy to hopefully never have to visit that town again.  It's cold there.
We started August 2010 and ended last week.  Our budget was minimal and it was a very piece-y project which makes it very tedious. 
Here are some before and after shots, my camera sucks really bad but hopefully you get the gist. 

BEFORE:
Exterior (duh)
Library Lounge Bar. 
Nothing horrible, but very dated and worn.

Guestroom Corridors
I want to kill the architect that thought a circular building this small was a great idea.

Notice the awesome headboard that makes you feel like your sleeping on a sofa sleeper.

AFTER:
New paint job gives a good impression that the hotel is getting snazzed up.

New Library Lounge Bar
I was able to really stretch my bones by re-upholstering a lot of seating that they already had and buying new shades for the old lamps.  It was cheap, but made a huge difference.  Of course carpet and walls are new and a few larger sofas were customized for the space.  (Can you believe they had those awesome metal side chairs in storage in their basement!?  New fabric and they were good to go!)

 Guestroom Corridor
You can't tell but the carpet looked great, even in a round corridor.

We left the nightstands, desk and wallcovering but replaced most other items.  I think our small changes made a big difference.

We just painted the mirror and it looked like a million bucks, for $24.

That's all folks, glad to have this one under my belt so I can move on to the next four.
