BOULDER FLIP BEFORE AND AFTER

So I just dropped of the radar.

Yeah....12 hour days kind of put blogging on the back burner....and yes I agree..... pretty rude of me.

Seriously though..... I just couldn't find the time to multi task with this one.  

Partly because Cari and Greg had just moved in their new house and there was no furniture or internet.  More on that later:)

We left Atlanta on Monday and got to the house around 5 pm..... placing most of the furniture that evening.

Let's start from the beginning....

This little beauty.....

Which got a coat of BM Kendall Charcoal.  New railing and garage doors.  Replaced the funky window over the garage....

House numbers will be on the stained wood wall.

The stairway....before

A little Cole and Sons wallpaper always helps:)

Looking down....

Before image as you came up the stairs....

The wall was opened up about 4 feet since the doorway to the kitchen was so small.  There was a lot of discussion about whether to just remove this whole wall to open up the kitchen and family room....but we really needed it for the fridge and some cabinets.

Added a little shiplap to the wall....

There just wasn't anything left to go on this wall so I left it clean....#eyeneedsaplacetorest

After cabinets were removed!

After

All Kitchenaid appliances.

Before

I can't believe the sink was not under the window??

After

Custom iron brackets and the butcher block shelves are from Ikea.  The light is from Hinkley
Rug is from Surya.

It really turned out to be quite a nice size kitchen.

The cabinets and countertops [raw concrete] are from Ikea 

Before

Wider opening and painted all the doors which I will get the color for you!  I can't remember right now.  #braindead 

My favorite Grohe K7 faucet.

Hello cute little mini watermelons....:)

Hardware from Build.com

Before

After

This is your basic classic kitchen....timeless!

Well?  You likey?

So this is what we saw every evening when we came home...

They moved about 7 miles outside of Boulder....and their are 11 cows a few feet from their property!

And they did not want to take any of their old furniture with them....because they want new!  Ahhhhh.....youth.

Of course there is more and we will get to it soon...I promise I won't leave you hanging:)

Thanks for hanging with me.

STAGING BEFORE AND AFTER PART 2

I have the rest of the pictures from the staging project today.  

Let me start by saying this...... when Cari first met with the homeowners they discussed everything that needed to be done before putting the house on the market.... taking into consideration that it had to be done in a month to take advantage of the busy spring market!

Everybody worked in tandem with scheduling and getting things done.  Team work people!  

Remember this....your home is probably the biggest investment you will make.....why wouldn't you do everything you could to get your best return?

Now....back to before and afters.  Plus the professional shots are back so I have a few of those to share.

The TV/Den before

After....we replaced the coffee table and some of the pillows.

This is where the leather chair ended up.

Before

The real estate picture.  You can see we removed a few pieces of furniture.

Before

Why did we get a new coffee table?  Because it looked too heavy especially coming into view up the stairs.  Just a small detail.

Heading upstairs to the bedrooms.

Before

This is the headboard we moved to the main level guest room.  We then purchased this cute World Market one!

And the real estate picture.

This is the real estate shot.....it shows that we changed the curtains to white.

Master bath before

After

No before of this basement bedroom....

But we re-arranged the whole space and added white bedding and pillows!  Most of the furniture and bed were on the opposite [same wall as the door] .  We flipped everything to give a clear pathway.

I don't have a before of the porch either but we added the pillows, rug, and table accessories trying to brighten it up as much as we could!

Before

Added more color here...

This view right!

I showed you the before and after of the laundry room but here is the real estate shot.

After

We actually changed out the faucet from silver to this oil rubbed bronze one.

And what you can't see is we added this rug....so cute.

Somebody asked about the kitchen pendants.

I wrote up a few things that were done to this property before going on the market.

STAGING TIPS

Doing all of this will help your home stand out and will give a buyer no barriers to move forward with a purchase:)

Last few professional pictures of this great kitchen!

And that's a wrap!  Thanks to Leslie for being so damn awesome and bringing me some chocolate one day......

Who wants to move to Boulder?

Happy Easter everyone:)
