Week One Recap

It's been one week since we closed on our latest investment and my focus has been on the second floor. Immediately, I ripped out all the carpet because unfortunately the previous owner had pets that either were not taken outside for bathroom breaks as often as necessary or didn't know where their litter box was. Additionally, I gutted the bathroom, had a professional come in and reglaze the tub, painted all the door trim and baseboards, painted walls and ceilings, installed two ceiling fans and a hall light fixture, and installed new closet shelves. Some things that may go unnoticed in the pictures are the new switch plate and outlet covers and new GFI's in the bathrooms and kitchen. The only work done throughout the other two levels of the house was ripping out the carpet in the basement (see explanation above!).

Beautiful tub!

Gutted Upstairs Bath (notice I'm painting the medicine cabinet!)

New hall semi-flush mount light fixture. I have two more of these to install downstairs along with two bathroom vanites, a dining room chandelier, and four sconces (all from the same collection).

And here's just a fun picture. This is the cabinet/countertop combination that we ard doing in the kitchen (along with the paint color that is throughout the house). It' s a cinnamon maple cabinet with Leopard Skin granite.
