HomeRental Overhaul Before and Afters

Rental Overhaul Before and Afters

This house was a rental for three years. I completely overhauled it. The owners said I did such a nice job they were moving back in and I said, "NO YOU ARE NOT!" nervously laughing.

This home was a rental for three years. I had to choose the exterior as well as the interior colors of the home. The cabinets were poorly painted white and I had the seller hire these two wonderful ladies to faux finish the kitchen, wet bar, linen closet, and master.
I purchased knobs for entire house, toilet, light fixtures, towel bars, plumbing, mirrors, lighting in and our or whatever it took too market this home. I added curtains in the master to mask the ugly next door neighbors backyard and I think it works. The floors were stained a rich walnut stain and looks beautiful in person. I staged the surfaces and outside arbor area.
The landscape was a total mess. As you can see with the new paint color and fresh landscaping it looks like a brand new home. So far, it has been well received! I will keep you posted.
While the market is slowed for some, I am as busy as ever due to my expertise in this field and willingness to pull up my sleeves and step in. It works!

Very nice, Tina! We happen to have brought home walnut flooring samples from Home Depot last night so it's great to see your walnut stained floors.

Tina, the pictures look wonderful! By the way, what camera are you using?

For me the most dramatic change is the living room - you've got it looking like a completely different house.  Remarkable.  Well done.
