Flip House Episode 14 Before and After

Almost a year ago, I sold my first flip house. You can see the whole series on my RUclips channel but... I totally just forgot to post the before and afters. I have no great explanation other than this was the most exhausting process and once I crossed the finish line, I think I mentally just offloaded the whole thing from me brain. Ha! I shared everything on social media and my website (see the post here: atcharlottesho.... To review... this was a sweet 3 BR house in an amazing neighborhood nearby. It had essentially had the same owners for decades and aesthetically that was kind of evident when I bought the house. I loved that the project seemed, in essence, to be one big giant cosmetic makeover. In practice, I learned that if a house hasn't been touched aesthetically for a while, then it stands to reason that other things haven't been updated either.
I did most of the work on my own. Stripping miles of wallpaper, painting, demo, tiling, adding a patio... and I had a contractor help me frame out one corner of the bathroom, install a new window, trim out a few windows and help with subcontractors for the miles of drywall, refinishing the floors and a surprise fix for the staircase.
I am SO proud of this little house and love the way it turned out. I didn't cut any corners and was able to turn around a sweet but dated and poorly maintained family home. The question I'm asked a lot is whether I made money on this project and the short answer is no... I broke even which isn't exactly what I wanted to show for this project, but I went into it knowing that it was something I wanted to try and there's no better way to learn about anything than to just do it so that's what I did. In principle, I LOVED bringing this old home back to life. In practice, the math is tough in our part of the world once I factored in carrying costs and the legal expenses and the broker's fee, etc. etc. I'm not actively looking for another flip house, but... I'm always keeping my eyes peeled *just in case*.

I loved following this project. I am glad your realtor encouraged you to do the basement. It looks amazing and not a scary place to do laundry. :-)

Me too! It makes SUCH a difference!

Hi Charlotte. You did an incredible job! You are absolutely amazing. What a cute, cozy, and inviting home. Love the bathroom upstairs. So light and airy. Fabulous job on the basement. It's so functional.
And the outside patio is wonderful.
Thanks for sharing! ❤❤🫶🏡

Love your work so much! Myself and my daughter are working on the home that’s been in my family since 1972 so this is sooo helpful. What brand peel and stick vinyl tiles did you use? Can you do a tutorial just on the patio? I may have more questions later. I will probably rewatch this several times.

Hi! I have a full video tutorial (and blog post) on the patio so check out my Flip House playlist on this channel. I also link to all my sources in my blog post on the kitchen!
