Being done with them.
I've done a lot of work on our previous houses.
But this one was done mostly by The Man and his partner, Roger. (GB, if you're reading this, thank you for letting us steal your husband for so many months!)
I did a fair amount of peeling wallpaper and painting, but that's about it.
I apologize, in advance, for so many pictures. There's just no other way to do it.
If you're on dial up, I'm so sorry!
In January, I originally posted the before pictures.
It took longer than we wanted to get it all done but it always does.
It was pretty gagtacular.
The outside before -

and after. (we scraped and painted the house, did a fair amount of work on the overhang on the porch)

Step in the front door and look into the living room, toward the kitchen.
Before -

and after. There is no dining room so we knocked a big hole in the wall to open it up, and The Man made a table top to fit in there. You can now seat 4 barstools under it and have an eating area! New flooring, installed overhead lighting where there was none...

Standing in the kitching entry looking back toward the front door. Before -

and after.

Standing in the kitchen entry looking into the kitchen. Before -

and after.

Pan down to the left a bit. Before -

and after. New everything. cabinets, countertops, sink, paint, flooring, appliances, window, light fixtures.

Fuzzy ceiling fan has been replaced. Before -

and after.

Standing at the other end of the kitchen, looking back toward the entry. The door with the green curtain leads to the garage. Before -

and after.

In the bathroom. Before -




and after. New flooring, new toilet, new light, (still need to install a mirror above the sink) new paint, new baseboards, new shower...

(this is a more accurate color depiction. It's very light aqua.)


This beauty of a light fixture in the hallway has been replaced. Cobwebs in the corner removed. Before -

and after.

I never showed you the three bedrooms before.
They're fairly small, and pretty nondescript. Just cute, basic, little rooms.
But they were as icky as the rest of the house.
Here are the afters.
Bedroom 1.

Bedroom 2. This one was tricky. When we bought the house, the washer and dryer hook ups were in the closet of this bedroom.
It took quite a bit of work, but the guys moved the washer and dryer space to a little cubby that is accessible from the hallway now.
It will hold a stackable front loading unit.
And this bedroom gets the closet back. It just makes way more sense this way.
Before -

and after.

Bedroom 3. (this one has a big walk in closet off to the right of the picture, but I didn't get a picture of it. And it still needs the light fixture put up, I think.)

Outside, there's a patio, huge workshop, and nice big yard.
Before -

and after.

It's a quiet street with a dead end, so not much traffic. On one side of the house is a neighbor, but on the other side is a nice park!
Anyone want to move to Kansas? We're asking $80,000 (or so...)
Whew. We're exhausted. Those tv shows don't show how much work flipping a house truly is. So.Much.Work.
But so rewarding too.

Whoa, what an amazing transformation. I love looking at before/after photos and you've really captured the transformation from "ick" to "wow"!. I hope it sells quickly.
Wow that's awesome, I will I could get a house that size for that price where we live. Here something like that would probably go for $150,000-$175,000!

Wow! What a transformation!!! I can't figure out why you didn't want to keep the light fixture in the hallway?? LOL! That thing was ugly! =) Great job on the house!!!
I can almost hear Ty saying "Welcome home, pamperingbeki family, welcome home"
Why is it called a "flip" house?
We don't have that expression here?
What an awesome job you all did on that house. Hope it sells soon!
I can't even begin to imagine how much work that was!! Wow. You deserve a big ol' pat on the back, that's for sure. Fingers crossed that you'll sell it soon!
W-O-W. It doesn't even look like the same house. Great job!!!
~Keri
Great job! I know someone will be very happy w/ their new home! It really came out great and I hope it ends up being worth the work!!

Hm. Well *that's* an interesting comment.
You did such a fantastic job! It looks beautiful! I'm sending you "quick sell" vibes.
Yay you!
Kimba
WOW. Amazing work! What am I doing in Northern California where there's nothing for less than ten times that amount?! Geez Louise.
You are awesome!
I am SO impressed. I love looking at before-and-after home photos - thank you so much for sharing!
Very cute!! 80 grand?? I *wish* we could find something that cute and updated for that price here.
(Going to talk hubby into moving to KS)
{inserting weird comment here}
I loved the kitsch of the old place, if by "kitsch" you mean disgusting fuzz growing on things and grime you're afraid to touch without gloves on. If you could have just added a pig trough in the middle of the living room, it would have been perfect as is. Well, maybe a nice sewage spill in the yard, too. I love the smell of sewage in the morning!
Wendy, and cat poop. There was a good amount of cat poop in the house. As well as rat poison. (Apparently that cat was worthless!)
Oh, and a dead mouse or two. You know, from all the poison laying around.
It was absolutely disgusting.
WOW! You guys did an amazing job! That ceiling fan gave me the eebie jeebies!! As for that comment...yes weird!
Looks great! If I was in Kansas I would definitely check it out! :D
Beki,
Oh WOW! And oh WOW regarding the "interesting comment" too. I don't even have words for that. Clueless on how to reply. Ha ha! Speechless is more like it.
Great job on the house girl! You guys ROCKED it. Way to go!

Absolutely amazing! I've seen homes I thought were pretty bad before, but that one really takes the cake. What a great job y'all did, I can't imagine the work involved to clean up, tear out, replace and restore.
...wanna come work on my home? ;)
Best of luck with the sale, that's a good price.
WOW!!!Unbelievable difference!!What a great job~~love the before/after pics!!
Best of luck with selling this little gem!
Hugs,
Lynn♥
$80,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap...I nearly fell over and spit out my diet coke...
wait...
um...
you can't PARK your car in L.A. for under $80,000.
Honey! Pack up the kids and car! Kansas here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great job
Great job! I know how much work it is. My husband and I did the same thing...just the two of us. Took four months. It is hard work but so very satisfying when you're finished.
Wow - I am truly impressed. Some great before & after shots!
Kiley (my hubby) glanced over my shoulder and said "What an ugly house" so I had to show him all the pictures and explaing that you were flipping. We are both sooo impressed! I bet the neighbors are thankful for you all doing this project!
NIce job! I would live there :)
I am totally amazed. You all must feel so good to see the end result and to look back at the before pictures!
I have been hating (which is very ungrateful and despicable of me) parts of moving into the house we live in...which is a nice house with some minor issues, and "not clean enough" for me (speaking of issues). Thanks for the perspective adjustment.
Congratulations on your accomplishment, it is lovely!
I did wallpapering for several years and then wanted to try the flip thing. We even wrote a contract on the house, but the owners wanted too much and we figured we wouldn't make enough to sell it as it needed major work. We never did get into it then, but always wanted to. And now my body is too old and creaky to try.
What a fanTAStic JOB!!!!! You took a blower-upper and made it darling!! Do your talents never END?! Someone's gonna get a sweet deal. I can't imagine. $80,000? I live in California. That'll buy you a tiny dump! What a treasure this will be for someone to find. :)
Wow. It is obvious how much work you put into this project! It looks great!!
you did an awesome job!! i've always wanted to try this but hubs isn't a handy man ;) hope all is well and congrats on finishing, looks great!
Love to see makeover all the time.
Well Done
Wow great job! It looks so nice! Thats pretty random with the washer and dryer inside the bedroom closet, I wonder if it bothered the person who slept in there?
Hope you are having a good week!
-W
way cool ..love the finished product.
nice job Beki!!
AMAZING!!! GREAT job!!!
Wow! What a great flip! LOVE all the photos. Thanks for sharing.

oh my gosh beki. that is amazing!!! you do an awesome job. it a great house and is going to make someone very happy. wow, i am so impressed. my kids want to do that some day. i will have to show karlie your photos. great job.
Flipping houses is a lot like ministry. You take something that people have abused, haven't cared for, haven't loved in a long time. Take out all the old all the hurt and put love and new beautiful things in. That is what God is all about in our life. Getting rid of the hurt, the junk and the abused spots from others and make us brand new inside! That is what I call Good News!
I am praying you guys will sell your home quickly :)
Blessings!
Oh my my!! AMAZING!!!!!!
OMG!!!!! Looove it!!!! We are facing a house makeover ourselves, and it's really very expensive (at least here in my country, I live in Argentina). I love what you did!!!
OH MY GOSH! Talk about a giant transformation! You guys id an amazing job!
Great job on the flip house!! Looks good...hope it sells fast for you!!
Great job on the flip! I'm sure it's hard work!
WOW!
and WOW what a price difference from here- my sister's house is comparible but selling for 199,900 here in MA.
Great job!!
Wow! you guys did an amazing job! Good luck with this endeavour.
ok, please don't take this the wrong way, but I was astonished at how dirty that place was...how do people live like that...it can't be healthy...AND, you did an amazing, wonderful...fantastic job! wow wee..that was some hard work..and it looks 200% better...fingers crossed you will sell it soon!
I'm sure the neighbors are thrilled that you did this. Looks like a tremendous improvement! Way to go. Move to Kansas... Nah - I already live here.
When you said "gagtastic", honey you weren't kidding! Y'all rocked that remodel--it looks fantastic.
Praying you get a quick sale. :)
Excellant work, you MUST be tired! I've always thought I would like to try my hand at this...but then I see all the endless work. Good luck with finding the right buyer!

From G.R.O.S.S. to Gorgeous! I hope you make a pretty penny for all that work! Great job. No thanks on moving to Kansas, but it won't be hard to sell I'm sure!
Wonderful work! I also flip houses and I must agree with you when you say, "the best part of flipping houses is being done."
It really is an awesome feeling, especially comparing before and after photos.
Great job creating a beautiful place to live.
Mike
What is the paint color in the bathroom?
Great post! Been reading a lot about renovating houses like this. Thanks for the info here!
