Sort of Before – Basement

These posts are called “Sort of Before” because I don’t have any true “before” pictures. But I do have these photos showing the progress of the flip, which I LOVED seeing progress on the house through photos.

We bought this house before we ever set foot inside, which worked for us, but I wouldn’t ordinarily recommend it. It worked because my dad walked through every inch of the space, measured every room and took photos of every angle in the house we could think of.  I knew before we moved exactly how large each room and every closet were, I knew the exact size of the yard because I took the measurements my dad sent and compared them to my current space and sketched out a floor-plan, too. I knew it had an entry way, brushed nickel doorknobs, granite counter-tops,  a great room, three bathrooms and a nice bathtub – all on the top  of my “want”  list. I knew it had plenty of bedrooms and was newly renovated and had NO POPCORN CEILINGS!!!!  (maybe the lack of popcorn ceilings was my true top priority, we had them in our previous home and did.not.love.them.)

Here are photos  of the basement taken during the flip.  The walls have all been painted, flooring is removed and some of the old light fixtures are still up.

Bedroom five – grey paint, white trim and waiting for flooring.

Doorway looking into the craft room on the left, stairs, then storage room on the right.

Downstairs bathroom, I like the tile on the floor, but I’d love to replace the vanity and remove the shower doors.

Bedroom 4 with a good sized closet and lots of built in shelves.

Craft Room, this door leads into 5th bedroom,  Lighting has been updated.

Family Room.  I love that there is a fireplace so I can put a TV above.  I’d like to have a lower mantle and some built-ins flanking the fireplace.

Lighting was already updated in the flip.
