Our Orchid flip is done! And let me just say, this one is a beauty {but I am TOTALLY biased and think all of them are}!
I am going to go in to more detail and do tons of Before and Afters later, but for now, i’ll show a few:)
That is what we started with. We KNEW we loved the lines of the home right away, but it obviously needed a ton of TLC. I can’t tell you how many times we had neighbors come up to us during the remodel and say how thankful they were that it was getting fixed up. Apparently people don’t like living next to homes that are neglected and overgrown. Who would’ve thought?! 😉
This is what you used to see when you walked in the front door:
And now, well now its this:
Just a little different eh?
We moved a lot of walls in this home and it made all the difference. And the kitchen? Well that one is not even recognizable:
Thankfully now its looking like this:
I don’t know whats my favorite thing about it even. The counters? YES! The Moen pot-filler and faucet? YES! The black cabinets? YES! All of it man. I mean, how could someone not just smile when cooking, and filling a pot from a beautiful filler thats mounted to an insane slab of beauty?!
A sweet little spot in this home is the office off of the main living space. Keep that barndoor open if you want to be in the mix with everyone, or shut it to hammer out some work. Either way though, you won’t feel closed in because of the French Doors to the backyard, and the glass windows above. This home is NOT lacking on natural light! Hallelujah. Plus we made sure that we got a professional locksmith to check over and fit the locks for the doors to make sure that the house was secure and safe, it’s super easy to find a flat rate locksmith Atlanta GA and in other areas, so if you are doing your own renovation make sure you keep this element of safety in mind.
The Master bedroom is spacious, light, and with a killer bathroom and closet. The vanity in the Master bath is straight up drool worthy. Custom done, super midcentury modern, and always timeless.
The other bedrooms and bathroom got some serious TLC as well. When you look at the before pictures, you wouldn’t recognize the bathrooms now. They’ve been completely upgraded. We just need to install some more things in there, but they’re nearly completed. We need to contact a plumbing company, like Express Plumbing Heating & Cooling, to install a new toilet into one of the bathrooms, and then we’re nearly ready to sell this property. Bathroom remodels can be costly, but we’ve managed to stick to a healthy budget. Just look at what we were dealing with initially:
And now:
Even the exterior in the front AND back got facelifts. We’re talking big facelifts — we had a Westport Tree Removal company come in to remove a dying tree, we repainted, installed new grass, power washed, and much more. Because we all know you don’t want to have great curb appeal in the front and then be embarrassed by the back, right? If you’ve got a patch of land that is really letting your home’s curb appeal down, you may want to consider making use of the services of 7 dees landscape design to help you out with landscaping projects in your garden that really need attending to.
To now:
I’ll be back soon with all the details, sources, and even more Before and Afters. You guys, Jeremy is so dang talented. I think a lot of y’all think that these flips are as much me as they are Jeremy, when in reality it is like 98% him, 2% me. No exaggeration. He has the vision. The meticulous attention to detail. The beautiful brain and design eye. The heart to make it a HOME not just a pretty house. He is the best of the best, and I am so blessed by him!
