Progress On The Fixer-Upper!

On Wednesday I shared some pictures of the fixer-upper house we're moving into next week. As I explained in this post there's a ton to be done inside and out and quite a few of them need to be done before we move into the house. 

Earlier this week I took a few pictures of the work being done so I can keep you updated!



When you first enter the house this room looks pretty much the same. The wall hasn't been knocked down yet and the kitchen renovation isn't at the top of our list right now. It will be done eventually but not yet.

After walking down the hall to my parents bedroom there was a huge change...



What used to be two rooms is now one! They knocked down the wall between two rooms to create a larger master bedroom. They will also be adding a master bathroom and nice sized closets soon.




There were four upstairs bedrooms, all carpeted and now there are two bedrooms and the carpets have been torn out. The closets also are looking much bigger then the small one that you can still see on both sides of the room.


You can also see that the carpet has been torn off the stairs, hardwood will be replacing it this week.


No more pool! The pool is gone... amazing!


I know you want to see some before and afters right? right!







   

There are so many changes to be made to this property still and I will keep you updated on everything  that happens.

Have a great weekend everybody!

He's A Bit Of A Fixxer-Upper...

So, as you may have read- I'm moving next week...into a fixer-upper house! They are already hard at work changing things (knocking down walls, tearing out carpets, etc) so a lot will be change but I wanted to give you an idea of where this house started. So here goes the photo dump!


The carpet on the stairs is pretty nasty- the carpet has actually already been pulled up!


This will be the dining room area. The half wall will also be torn apart too, making the area more open.




The kitchen will be completely redone.



This deck will be torn off the house!



The living room will have a few changes as well- immediate painting for sure!


This wallpaper has to go!








The above two rooms will be combined into a master suite. The electrical has already been completed and a master bath is being added as well as new closets.



I think a new vanity is necessary in this room!








We started with four upstairs bedrooms and they have been combined into two!





A new mailbox is necessary!





The pool has also been filled in and fencing has been torn down.






Overall a lot of work is going into this house! I will keep sharing updates and of course an end result!

What work have you put into your home?
