This is our first investment property (I only got to be the project designer since I was pregnant throughout the process; I wish I could have done some actual work!). We have a nice lady who rents it with her three sons. I'm posting these because I am proud of my sweet Nonny and his fearlessness...I can't wait to begin on our next project.
P.S. The photos are 'After' and 'Before' ~ they're all in here backwards!
Secondary bath
Secondary bath jetted tub
Living room with accent wall :)
Living and small dining area
Flagstone patio, french drains, and sun porch
Master bath and huge L-shaped master closet
Master tub
Master bedroom
Second bedroom (this is the former "Blue & Green Room" pictured below!)
Third bedroom - there isn't a good 'before' picture of this, but it had a home made trundle bed, orange-brown linoleum tile floor, and a single french door entry! It was incredibly ugly.
View into the kitchen
Refinished cabinets and new counter tops
Pass-thru
Master bath
BEFORE:The patio, which had a bar tall enough to comfortably serve someone 7 feet tall and enclosed with wood meant to be used indoors! Yes, that is the other French door (the other was used in the 3nd bedroom)
Master bath
Master bedroom. The sink was a horrible painted bowl and pedestal thing. The faucet fixture: the direct pipes from the wall!
Master bath/closet
Blue & Green second bedroom
The worlds ugliest kitchen. That is, indeed, blue and peach tile counters & back-splash! The cabinets?! Your basic bottom-of-the-line pieces of crap. Blaaaghh!
Another view of the kitchen. I know you're jealous!
I was in horror when Nonny first showed me this house! When I get a chance, I'll drive by and take an 'After' shot. The tree was removed, the siding was painted, and the yard was landscaped.
Yuck!
The backyard with flagstone everywhere, hardly any grass, and the shed ~ again, made from non-treated wood! It was moldy and falling apart.
Our contractor and best friend looking excited about all the work to be done!
The living room ~ the fireplace was accented in diarrhea-brown
The lighting needed some desperate help!
Living space
More ugly kitchen!
