- A little over a year ago I introduced you to an abandoned mid-century modern house. Throughout the course of a year we've renovated and listed this house on airbnb. I'm very excited to show you the completed project and be able to walk you through the details of how we got it done!

Loved that the bathrooms weren't totally redone.
You nailed it. It's delightful. I'd love to see the previous owner's reaction to the rehab. I bet he'd be thrilled to see his childhood home saved and done so well.
I sent him pictures, he was amazed! Said he couldn’t believe it was the same place :)
Great job on aligning all the budget and the renovations, it really turned out nice. Great that you can keep a tenant and build equity until you're ready to sell. Really adds value to the neighborhood I hope you had fun! This is along the style of house and renovation that I'd be interested in doing myself.
Thank you so much! We were thrilled with the way it turned out. We actually just sold it after keeping it for 2 years. We used the money to buy our next project…you’ll get to see it soon! A black A-frame on the lake :)
This is a work of art!
Let’s goooo!! Thanks, J-unit!
You have a Beautifull property!!! I'm a huge fan of Mid century modern, you did a great job. Thanks for share this video.
Thank you so much! I love MCMs too!
Excellent work.
Likewise! Appreciate your help!
What a great job! I like that you used local artists to bring some creativity to the space. The colors are great too. I love that you kept the pencil sharpener too. Did you have the previous homeowner come through the finished house? I bet he was crying with happiness seeing his childhood home was saved. Beautiful work! Thanks for telling all the steps from finding the property to the final costs. Keep up the great work!
Classic, yet unique touches. Love the tile in the kitchen and the accent walls in the bathroom. The outside is stunning. Love it!
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you like it!
Love this house so much!!

I luv it!!! Im a mid-century modern junkie😊
I’m so glad you liked it!! It was a fun one to do. I don’t know if you subscribed, but my latest project is a black A-frame (somewhat mcm. Ha!) you won’t want to miss it! Thanks for the comment!!
There are a lot of those in the Chamblee and Doraville area of Atlanta. Many are very, very tired.
Not too far…Athens.
Awesome flip! I want it!
Ha! We actually recently sold it :)
Will be posting a video of our latest project on the spring! Black A-frame on the lake! My favorite one yet!
amazing job
Did you watch the apartments before/after?
I've been an independent Professional Photographer who's been shooting high to very high end homes for 12 years now. I also AM INSANE for MCM homes and I'm a pretty good Amateur Authority on them. You did a really nice job on this one. LOVE the bathrooms, they're a blast! However......even though I'm 62 and you're much younger than me, I really think you should stay away from doing an ALL black kitchen from now on. Maybe lower black cabinets or a black island, for sure but all black is just truly overwhelming and does not read well or engender a welcoming appeal. Other than that, congrats!!
Thanks for the feedback! This much black is risky for sure. Ha!
Nice! 👍
Thank you! I’m really happy with the way it turned out!
Thanks
Thank you!
Asan interior designer, seeing that black everywhere with white outlets stuck throughout makes me want to 😢
How would you have done it, gold plates? I’m interested to hear. We mayyyy leave a few things undone on the A-frame and have some options for input from viewers. Do you have a design IG page?
Nice! Just would have left the brick alone.
Nice🙌🏾
Appreciate it! I’m happy with the way it turned out!
@@nolangottliebinvesting566 no problem! & yeah it looks nice I actually remember that house from driving!
When did you see it?
@@nolangottliebinvesting566 it probably was about a year and a half ago. When I used to go to the investor meetings! Not sure if you remember me or not!
I loathe the kitchen - it's HGTV basic - and walking in off the street to a kitchen is just unhygienic. @6:05, love that you kept the fixtures and the wall mural is beautiful. @6:10, the carport back wall is fab. I feel you missed the opportunity to make the house authentic in the updates.
Interesting…I think the kitchen is my favorite part. The artist is on IG…you should check her out! @m.leilaniart
Where is this house located?
It’s in Athens, GA!
Damn how did you learn to do this?
Ha! Lots of practice…and money.
For the average consumer this is a very acceptable renovation. Saving and restoring existing elements in the home maintains its novelty. I don't agree with the monchromatic theme on the first floor as MMM homes are known for pastels and color. The original bricks have a beautiful contrasting tone contrasted by the lighter tone mortar, which would have been brought back to original specs with an appropriate cleaning and some pointing. Painting brick is never a good idea; bricks need to breath. Eventually the paint will allow wind drive moisture to become trapped behind the paint causing eventual peeling. The peeling will reveal bricks spalling and efflorescence from water and salt trapped in the brick and will be a mold issue in north shaded elevation and near the ground locations. Unlikely to find bricks to match these existing historic bricks or the lyme mortar without bringing in costly historical consultant.
Yeah I agree on all these points. However, for our purposes we went another direction.
Good work, but I wouldn't have painted that brick... Brick is porous and needs to breathe, and painting it traps in moisture and could potentially lead to cracks, mold, and rot :/. Plus, if the area where it is goes through heavy temperature changes, the paint can crack and bring some of the brick with it...
Yeah we considered that too, but figured for our needs paint would be better.
Why are the living room and kitchen laminate floors not contiguous? Why the seam strip? Trip hazzard, looks like a quick cheap flip.
Good question. Originally there was laminate in the kitchen with carpet over hardwood in the living room…with a stud wall over subfloor separating the two. After demo we had to remove kitchen subfloor because it was ruined from water damage under cabinets. Once we put down new subfloor in kitchen and laid hardwood on that it was off by about 3/16 inch. We didn’t have the budget to remove entire kitchen, buy new flooring, adjust floor joists, etc. so we put a little transition down. Hasn’t been a trip issue thus far.
So you’ve completely ruined it
Yes. Completely ruined it. It was perfect when we bought it and completely fine…our only goal in the project was to do whatever we could to destroy it!

yuck and yuck
