I have a few home remodels and revamps under my belt. This latest one is finished. It was just a small nest, but my husband let me do whatever I wanted so I ended up changing it from an all white bachelor pad that didn’t look lived in and transformed it into a fun, cozy nest for two.
Pretty much the only thing that is left over from his single days, is the dining table with nude angels on the base. I mean, who doesn’t need naked angels around the house? Oh, and the single guy, creme leather sofa set in the front office. It kills my soul, but he won’t part with it.
We took two bedrooms, and made them into our separate offices because it was a total waste of space to have spare bedrooms when literally no one ever comes to stay over night! We have sold two beds in the past 6 months, and I have one more in the garage to deal with.
This commercial grade flooring was completely scratch resistant and made life so much easier than the previous carpeting that was there before. I am using this same flooring in the bedrooms of the new house we are remodeling because it goes with anything, doesn’t show dust like dark wood flooring does and is so extremely durable and scratch resistant.
The kitchen was probably the best part of the house, with a large center island that makes cooking a lot more enjoyable. The large crystal chandelier over it was the focal point of the area. Black granite was used in the kitchen, as well as in the two bathrooms. We could not bear the thought of having different counter tops throughout such a small home.
When it came time to list this home, it sold within a week. In the mind of a new homeowner, there was literally nothing a person would need a to repair or change, except perhaps the paint. Paint is the cheapest, easiest fix for a new homeowner. Of course it is the first thing we are changing in the new place we found, along with the flooring throughout and a bathroom revamp. (I’ll share those pictures once it’s complete!)
I had been wanting to share this little revamp of mine for months, but never had the time! Now that we made the decision to sell, it seems the perfect time to share! We are super excited about the move and can’t wait to share the progress on that project!
