The For  Sale sign is up!

We are on the hunt for our next kill.

Oh… I mean flip house.

Each time we finish one project – I say…

“THIS is my favorite home.”

And, then – we complete another one and then

THAT home becomes my favorite.  

But, this one really did come out quite beautiful.

 {If I do say so myself.}

This project was a little more of a pain for

some reason…but in the end, we still got the job

done in less than 30 days (29 to be exact!) 

So, I am proud to present…

166 Parnell Road

Here is the Exterior Before…

The outside required very little work.

A good power washing, the front rails needed to be

stained, shutters repainted and some landscaping.

The yard was overgrown but all in all, not too

bad either.

Here is the Exterior After…

was all that was needed.

Here’s a little background of the homes we buy.

The majority of the houses we purchase are

VA Foreclosures and for the most part,

are in pretty good shape.  They have been previously

cleaned out of all the trash and refuse left behind.  

It doesn’t mean they aren’t nasty and smell to

high Heaven… but once we close on the home

it’s nothing like what you see on HGTV.  

We have had those kinds of homes in

the past.  I won’t even tell you about the property

we termed “The Snake House” – where the owner

raised snakes and reptiles.  

{Think room after room, and stack after stack

of snake cages.  All empty thank goodness!}

Most of our properties require an all-over cosmetic

makeover, new roofs, new landscaping, new HVAC’s, etc.

 

So, are you ready for the After?

 

{The Living Room After}

New paint. New flooring. New fixtures.

Fresh. Clean. And Neutral.

Flip House Tour | The Everyday Home | www.everydayhomeblog.com

A Before & After Flip House Tour | The Everyday Home

All of the furniture we used for staging was picked up

at thrift stores or online yard sale sites.

Several pieces, like the sofa table you see above –

received a new life with a simple coat of paint.

 

{The Kitchen After}

Basic, stock cabinets give this kitchen an

“Urban Farmhouse” feel.

A Before & After Flip House Tour | The Everyday Home

 

A budget doesn’t always allow for “custom.”  So we

rely on stock products as much as possible.

 The countertops are a basic, stock pattern, but

one which looks as close to granite as we can find.

Stainless appliances create cohesion but look modern.

 

{The Dining Area After}

This home did not have a separate Dining Room.

But the eat-in kitchen offered ample room.

You may recognize one of my Flip House “Trademarks.”

The white Board ‘n Batten Wall.

You can find how I create this easy

wall treatment HERE.

One of the things I am most proud of in this home

is this beautiful Mason Jar Light Fixture. 

Isn’t is spectacular?

It totally set the theme for my

“Urban Farmhouse Style” Home.

{Next week, I will share the details and resources

of all of the products we used, to include our budget.}

Yep, there are my fave “E-A-T” letters from

the last flip house.

You can see how to make them HERE.

 

{The Guest Bath After}

A Flip House Tour | The Everyday Home | www.everydayhomeblog.com

A Before & After Flip House Tour | The Everyday Home

New countertops and fixtures and a coat of fresh,

white paint on the existing vanity.  

Makes a HUGE difference, huh?

Here is one of my house-flipping tips.

Take down that ugly “wall-o-mirror” the

contractor puts up…and replace it with a large,

chunky-framed mirror instead.

I paid $67 for this mirror at Kirkland’s. 

 

{Guest Bedrooms After}

A Flip House Tour | The Everyday Home | www.everydayhomeblog.com

To add a bit of architectural interest, we added

some basic beadboard and topped it with some 

moulding.  Plain Jane Bedroom no more!

A Flip House Tour | The Everyday Home | www.everydayhomeblog.com

A Before & After Flip House Tour | The Everyday Home

New paint, new carpet, new fans and fixtures,

 and new blinds.

Done and done!

 

{Master Bedroom After}

As you can see, we keep the neutral paint color

throughout.  The secret to flipping a home is not

to impart too much of your own style (or color choice)

but keep it nice ‘n neutral for the new buyers.

It’s amazing how a light color opened this room and

made it appear larger.

One of the things I love about this floor plan is the

French Door that leads to the back deck.

Isn’t that a great feature?

 

{Master Bathroom}

We added a bit of moulding, a new vanity, new light

and a new mirror.

And speaking of the view out to that deck…

So there you go?

Another successful, on-time, slightly over-budget flip.

This may very well be my favorite one yet.

    Hi Barb! Oh, I love it! What a wonderful job you’ve done on this house! Now a silly question, the person who purchases it, do they get to buy the furniture or maybe it just your ‘staging’ furniture? You’re really good and have wonderful vision. Hope you’re doing well.
    be a sweetie,
    Shelia 😉

      Hey my sweet friend – not a silly question at all. 🙂 The furniture is used for staging purposes only. If anyone came along and wanted it as is, it is negotiable. As they say in real estate, everything is negotiable. 😀 xxoo, Barb

    Great flip! I flipped houses in the Seattle area and we only did foreclosures. We usually toured the houses when they were still full of stuff and nasty as all get out but they were all cleared of debris in the purchase contract. We also pulled out kitchen cabinets and replaced with stock cabinets from big box stores. So much easier than attempting to paint out cabinets! We usually had more than a little cosmetic work and actually took out walls when we felt it would help the design. Our biggest flip was a 5 bedroom with 3.5 baths that actually sold before we were finished. I am pretty sure that one was my favorite! I can honestly say that if I had my druthers, I would still be flipping houses. It is so rewarding to take something looking pretty shabby and turning it into a beautiful home.

      Susan, so far we have not had to move or take down any walls, but I would not hesitate to do so if I thought it would make the job easier. We are looking at a 4 bed, 2.5 bath now which would be our largest project so far. It is very fun and very enjoyable to watch the process, I do agree. Thanks for stopping by for the visit. ~Barb

      Thanks Roxanne – 30 days is my magic number when deciding on a home to purchase as a flip. I am looking at a property which will take us into the 45 day zone, but its a much larger home. I am very blessed to be able to do this as a business and also do it with my family. Thanks for your kind words and also for stopping by to take the tour. ~Barb

    Love it! I actually know exactly where this house is, I used to rent a house a few houses down and then eventually bought a house around the corner in the same neighborhood! It came out gorgeous 🙂 would love to know where the bedding in the master bedroom came from! We are looking for something similar.

    This is beautiful! I’ve actually seen this house before! We used to rent a house a couple houses down and now own a place around the corner in the same development! Awesome job! Definitely some inspiration for redoing my own house. Would love to know where you got the bedding in the master! Just what I have been looking for!

      Hi – I am sorry I don’t have that exact info right in front of me, but I did get this at Lowes as a special order flooring. It is a laminate, and the name is Honey Maple, I think. Sorry I can’t be of more help right now, I will try to get the info for you.

    The house looks amazing. However, as a fellow house flipper I’m wondering, is it usually cheaper for you to replace the cabinets? When I first got started everything I read said keep everything you van if it’s usable. I’m just curious where you buy your stock products. Like I said… the house is awesome. I love the feel you get just looking at the outside. And I hope it sold quickly and you have much more successes.

      Skylar – no it would be cheaper to keep them, but I also know that new cabinets will make the home sell quicker (this is from experience) and that is the name of the game. I get my stock cabs from Lowes. 🙂
