A Big Project

I mentioned back in October or November that my son-in-law, Chris and I were flipping a house.  Well, it is DONE and officially on the market today.
The realtor said kitchens and bathrooms sell houses, I hope they like our kitchen.  Here is the before:



I have a friend who is a cabinet maker and he was kind enough to design the layout of the kitchen and we used stock cabinets from a big box store.
Take a look

we added a bar area for stools and made it more of a galley style.

We did all the demo work, I did all the painting, Chris took care of installing the  lights and light construction.  We did have a contractor for most of the remodel work.   Will I do it again?  That is too  be determined but I know for sure, I am so proud of what we did.  The house looks amazing.
One thing I do know….. I have lots more time for sewing!

  2. That's an impressive kitchen. All the best with selling your house. Getting a house with a great kitchen like that is a big plus for any home buyer.

  4. Oh, you did a nice job! What a difference! I hope you get a good profit from it. It is a lot of work, but making something dismal into something nice to live with is so satisfying. I hope you find a buyer for it quickly. :)

  12. Very nice. I hope it sells quickly. I haven't done a flip in over six years now, but I love the process and made a nice living at it. Sometimes I compare renovating (a term I like better than "flipping") to picking up a sad little pooch from the pound and turning it into a well groomed, well behaved little sweetheart. These homes just need some lovin'!
