House Progress

Who wants to see pictures of the progress on the little house?

NOBODY?!
Too bad.....so sad.....I'm posting them anyways!

HA HA HA!

So, the floors were done last week. They sanded them, and applied polyurethane. And they are GORGEOUS! I am sooo jealous of the floors! I'm ready for John to tear all the carpet out of our house, and install hardwood floors! I think we are going to start with the stairs, and the loft, and see how it goes from there.
But, I was posting about the progress on the little house, get your brain back on track!

Ok, first photo. This is a shot of the "office". On the original house this was actually the porch. Then, in a remodel some previous owner closed it in to make a room. It started out to be a shop for a beautician who lived there. But, I don't understand that, because there's no water supply in the room! How do you have a beautician's office with no water? Yea, it didn't make sense to me either! If you look close, the corners were still the concrete corners from the porch! That was interesting figuring out how to disguise those! I think my baby did a great job of that! The floor was some nasty carpet that he ripped out, and replaced with commercial grade carpeting. We are calling this an office. It's a tiny space. I guess you could use it as a nursery, but it would make a great office/computer room.



I know, the pictures are tiny, but you guys told me the big pictures were too big, so the other option is tiny little photos. [pout] So, click on them, and you can see them bigger.

The office has turned into one of my favorite rooms of the house. Especially the french door that leads to it.

The next room is the laundry room.

Oh my God, this room was a MESS! Check out the nasty paint job! The previous owner attempted to faux finish it! Friends.....don't let friends faux paint! Notice the big hole in the wall where the water connection is? Yep, big ole hole! Sad, huh? More like pitiful!

What a transformation, huh?



New fluorescent light, patched hole in the wall. Fresh coat of pretty paint. And ripped out the nasty linoleum floor and replaced with ceramic tiles laid on the diagonal.


And now the Master Bedroom. Again, check out the paint job! There must have been a sale at Lowes on crappy paint color the day she went shopping for paint! It was no lie the color of baby kaka! SO GROSS!



New energy efficient windows, new paint job, new ceiling fan, new closet door, and can you see those floors?! You can check your make-up in the shine on the floors!

And lastly, no fancy "before and after" shot, just a view as you enter the house. The beautiful floors, new light fixture and ceiling fan. The living room is in the foreground, to the right, the office, dining room on the other side of the half walls, then through the door to the kitchen. Bedrooms are off to the left.



The big work is done over there. John still has some fine details to complete, including finishing some landscaping up in the front of the house. But, we're actually starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Now, stroke John's ego, and tell him what a wonderful job he has done on the house. Who knew that nasty place could turn out so cute? We're not totally done, but I'm ready for our next flip!

So, who wants to rent out a vacation home in Savannah GA?
Or, who wants to buy a cute 2 bedroom house?
Give us a call....we can set you up!

Thanks for looking!
