Pulled out the wall between the kitchen and the family room
to make a great room

Kitchen/Great Room panoramic



Open Kitchen to the great room

Also have explained the details of the kitchen on a previous post,
and showed all the before pictures.

Mud room

The mud room was originally the laundry room coming in
from the garage, but we decided to move the laundry room to the room
behind the door, and make this the mud room,
come in hang your coat, purse, etc.

This puts the mess of the laundry room behind the
door, and keep the house looking clean.

In the mud room is also a pantry closet with bifold door.

If there isn't enough space in that big kitchen, there is more space
here for your kitchen.

Master Bedroom

We just painted in the bedroom Mindful Grey
and also painted the ceiling and added crown molding
on the ceiling.



Master Bedroom



Master Bath

We gutted the master bathroom
It originally had a sauna type tub and a small shower,
very old vanity painted white and falling apart.
We reconfigured the bathroom and it feels twice as big
now that the huge tub is taken out.



Master Bath

We added the open shelving at the end of the vanity,
found a fabulous vanity at costco with a marble top,  new
mirrors and the original light fixtures.



Master Shower



Master Shower tiled in 6x12 grey tiles and a shelf tiled in glass tiles.

These pictures don't do it justice, it is stunning!



Hall Bathroom

Sandridge Outside Flip

This is our first view of the house.

It had missing grate in the front, sad, sad shudders, that were rotting.
They litterally fell apart when we took them off.
I wanted to salvage them, but that didn't work out for me.

The roof of course had to be replaced as well as the facia in some places.



Here we are finished.
New shudders, new paint on the front of the house.
New tiled front porch.
And cute flower boxes that fit on the railing.
The bushes are trimmed and the lawn finally mowed.




Roofers working on the new roof.


The back fence was in such bad shape, but a good layer of paint is needed.
And I loved the pool, even though the whole time we were here
the pool wasn't clean enough to swim in and it was a little chilly.





Here the fence is painted, 25 gallons of paint later!!!!
It soaked it up so bad!  But big improvement.






And again the finished house.


Welcome Home!


Let us know what you think of our flips!

Sandridge Kitchen Remodel

Love this house!
Love the neighborhood!
Love the yard and surroundings!

This house is one of those houses with multiple hidden costs.
When we did a walk through, we made a list of things
that needed to be done.  Well, now that is finished,
I think that we doubled that list, and the the number of things
that needed to be fixed and attended to.



The Kitchen was tiled, it all came out, the middle cabinets came out.
We left the cabinets on the right side just as they are.



Here is the kitchen with the cabinets gone,
This wall is getting pulled out and a header put in.
It really opens things up.



Here we are with the wall finally out and the header in.



I noticed the wall where we left the cabinets on, across from it was
wasted space, and so we decided to use the cabinets we took off the wall
we removed and put them on that wall.
This extended the kitchen to make it really feel much bigger.



Now we are open to the family room, the kitchen floor was also rotten,
The dishwasher had been leaking and so we had to replace 3 sheets of under
flooring there.  It was a no walk zone for a while with all
the open space to the underneat of the house.



Here the painters have finally arrived.  The original color of the house
was peach.  What?? it was painted new only a few years ago. Peach!

Well, anyway, it was an odd color when everything during
that time was painted beige.

We painted this room in Anew Grey,  Sherwin Williams.
The chandelier show really good here.



We found 3 matching pendant lights so used them over the island and kitchen
table.  I have them wrapped in plastic here, since there is still
sanding going on, and I didn't want to have to work very hard to clean
them.  We bumped up the cabinet over the stove, and painted it and
the island back SW Urban Bronze.

I felt like Urban Bronze had kind of a green tinge to it.
I can't say I would use that color again..



We also found a cabinet to go under the cabinets over on the far
right side of the kitchen.  It is a dresser that I painted the
Urban Bronze, the middle drawer was missing and so we hunted
many, many stores to find a basket that fit the open space.

I turned this into a coffee bar.
It was a great addition to the kitchen,
and makes the kitchen really look big.



We installed black granite countertops.
Installed a new microwave, used the original stove,
and a new dishwasher.

We also found a very old door, 36 inch door was hard to find
but after lots of searching we found it.  I used
Old English on it to spiff it up, and Dana installed it
as a rolling door.  Really love how this turned out!


We also installed large white tiles for the backsplash with
a small row of glass tiles at the top.  We also did crown molding
around the kitchen and crown molding on the top of the cabinets.



Here is the coffee bar, using the dresser, we had granite installed
on it also, and it turned out so fun.



The cabinets are the original oak cabinets to the home, we worked them
around to fit all the original cabinets except one to the new
kitchen.  The Urban Bronze became the pop to the kitchen, and
the sink in the island gives the woman of the house a great view of the family room
and all that is going on there.




Here is a panoramic view of the kitchen with the cute bay window that
looks out over the pool in the backyard.



This is the view of the kitchen from the great room.
Love these dark hardwood floors!


Well here it is, the finished rooms.
Love how these 2 rooms turned out!
