Get ready to see some awesomeness! O.K. well, maybe not quite yet. This was a small stepping stone towards our complete remodel. Kale and I were relieved to hire a few people to install various things around Ruston. We hired professionals to install tile, and carpet. Kale did all of the rest of the work including drywalling the walls and ceilings. He also replaced all of the outlet switches, mirrors, toilets, light fixtures, fans and did a lot more work on small things like caulking around {like} everything! This house was in really bad shape.
While we were in the mind set of renting the home, things were really nasty for a while. As soon as we started ripping out old cabinets, toilets, vanities etc. things started looking a lot better. It wasn't until the tile was down and the cabinets were installed that we started seeing a real future for this pretty little home.
We began shortly before Christmas. We ripped away at everything ugly, old and nasty about this house. I think Kale and I were both really excited when things started for the flip. These are the photos of the demo. We also had the tile installed before we left for our Texas Christmas Vacation.
We also had our good friend over at Greers Flooring America {the company we hired for tile, cabinets, counter tops and carpet} put together a few pretty samplings for us. We let her run with her own ideas as she has helped people remodel homes for years and years.
The designer let me choose from about 3 different samplings she put together. This was the one I chose for this home. I wanted upscale looking cabinets and the tile was really pretty. We really wanted this house to shine. We have opted for backsplash at this time but might choose to have it installed after we complete the projects at hand.
I'm excited!!!! This house is coming together and we couldn't be happier with the results. I know Kale is ready for it to be done and I am ready for him to be home more often!!
