When I first walked into this home I could take my finger and remove a slick tar off the walls. The previous owner had been a heavy indoor smoker and that tar had built up from years of decay. It was in need of some real TLC!

Our first order of business was to wash down the walls and ceiling with Pine-Sol to remove the grime. When we went to paint we started with 4 coats of Kilz primer to properly prep everything.

Here’s a rundown of our renovation:

Main Floor

The kitchen was peninsula-style and worn out! We gutted it and started from scratch.

Full bath remodel - Tile shower - Wainscoting - Vinyl Flooring - Pedestal Sink - New Lighting - New windows all around

Basement

The basement had a bunch of walls and felt choppy. We removed the walls, added brighter utility lighting, replaced the water heater, HVAC, and service panel.

Fresh paint on the floors, ceiling, and walls freshened this place right up!

Upgrades

Waifar Lighing - Lowes Cabinets, Flooring, and Tile - Grimes Countertops - Frigidaire Gallery Series Appliances

To say this house was in need of a makeover was an understatement! But we liked its bones, so we decided to take it on.
