It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on my flip house adventures, and now seems to be a great time! The Skinny House After a delayed start given the previous owners wouldn’t leave, we had a smooth finish! The house was on the market for less than a week before we had multiple offers….
Refreshing Worn Wood with Briwax
I’ve mentioned my new little love of Briwax (check out my whole kitchen post here), but I thought it would help if I showed you some detail on how it worked. I should also mention that this is NOT a sponsored post; I’ve just loved the product and its results. The kitchen cabinets were in…
The Boardwalk Bench
While riding our bikes down the boardwalk on a beautiful spring day, I couldn’t help but look at the boards themselves and think about all the character in them. The happy beach goers, the dropped ice cream cones, battering storms, and long spans of peace against the crash of the ocean. I was thinking how…
Skinny House Reveal
Writing this post is like a victory dance for me! We’ve crossed the finish line and are ready to list. And I’m ready to share! Enjoy! Front Porch A little foliage, a new light, and a new front door color and hardware go a long way. I added the address plaque to bring out the…
Flip House Update: The Home Stretch
I’m sorry this is a little late! I’ve been MIA lately while pushing to get this house on the market. We aren’t there yet, but soooo close! The little loose ends right before market time are always tough to tie up. For example, the doorbell in the first pic 🙂 But we are almost there. Almost. Here’s…
Flip House Friday – Let There be Light – and Gas!
I’ve described myself as scatterbrained, forgetful… whatever you want to call it. My hubby helps keep me straight, but there’s only so much he can do. So I want to share with my readers who don’t know me (if there are any out there?!) an example so maybe you can see where I’m coming from….
Flip House Friday: Bath Changes
We have turned a corner and can see this house coming together! The backsplash just went up, and the flooring is mostly complete. We are getting the last of the plumbing fixtures in, and there are still some light fixtures to go up. Bathroom But in the bathroom, things have gone askew 🙁 Here was…
Flip House Friday (and Naples and my bum)
Happy Friday! I missed last week as I was just coming home from a downright awesome trip with my husband to Naples, Florida to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. And I’m not going to lie; it’s a week later and I’m still a little bummed it’s over. Naples is beautiful, and I loved the…
Flip House Friday: Bathroom Plans
Well, things are coming along at the Skinny House. Slowly but surely! We have a certain neighbor who keeps complaining to the town about our permit, and an inspector who seems to drop by at least every half hour. I was actually mentioning him to my GC when, lo and behold, he drives by. Speak…
Flip House Friday: Kitchen Plans & Paint!
So this was my office yesterday along with one of my more lazy co-workers… no complaints here! I’m working on the kitchen cabinet doors for the skinny house – more on that below! But we have paint! Paint is really the first thing that goes in where you start to see that shift from demolition…
