Hi Lance - I am absolutely inspired by your apartment and your design aesthetic. What a wonderful use of space!

I do have a question for you -- I am also living in a small rent-stabilized space and plan to stay here for the long term.

I'm looking to convince my landlord to let me redo the bathroom and redo the kitchen with nicer tile, cupboards and a new stove. I also want to paint the floors black, as you have done in your apartment. Our wood floors are very worn down and in need of refinishing anyway.

How did you talk to your landlord about it? Were they cool with you painting the floors black and installing a new oven? I'd love to know how you went about doing that, as I plan on having "the talk" about some upgrades with our property manager soon.
