Home Renovation: Transforming a Little Brick House

In this home renovation series, we have been working tirelessly for over six months to transform a small, brick house into a stunning and modern living space. In this episode, we will be making significant progress, bringing us closer to completing this exciting project. From finishing up the flooring to painting the exterior and tackling various other tasks, we are determined to see this house reach its full potential. Stay tuned as we embark on the next steps of this refurbishment journey, witnessing the incredible changes taking shape.

Flooring Installation

Our focus for this stage of the renovation is the flooring. Jalen, our skilled team member, has been hard at work installing the flooring throughout the house. Starting in the back part of the hallway and main bedroom, he has now moved on to the main area of the house. We are thrilled with the beautiful flooring we found at Floor and Decor – it offers excellent quality at an affordable price. The underlayment attached to the flooring has made the installation process smoother, saving us time and effort. However, like with any project, it's crucial to ensure you have enough materials, as running out can cause unnecessary delays. As a tip, always buy extra flooring or materials to avoid such setbacks.

Exterior Painting

The exterior of the house plays a crucial role in its overall aesthetics. In this episode, we are focusing on painting the fascia, the garage door, and the front door. We carefully selected the color Kendall Charcoal by Benjamin Moore for these areas. It is a dark gray shade that beautifully complements the creamy white color of the house. By painting these elements, we are giving the house a cohesive and modern look. Additionally, we are installing new glass on the right side of the front door to enhance its appeal. With these updates, the exterior transformation is well underway.

Front Door Makeover

While renovating, it's important to be flexible and make adjustments when needed. In a previous episode, we had attempted to use gel stain on the front door to achieve a stained wood look. However, after careful consideration, we decided to paint the door. We removed the smeary gel stain and applied a primer as a base coat. Finally, we sprayed the door with the same gray color as the fascia and garage door. The result is a front door that flawlessly blends with the overall design, enhancing the house's exterior charm.

Back Door Replacement

During the renovation process, we encountered a small setback with the back door. The door we had initially purchased turned out to be the wrong size, requiring us to return it and find a suitable replacement. Accidents like this can happen, but it's crucial to remain adaptable and find solutions. With the back door installation postponed, we are looking forward to installing it alongside other planned improvements, such as lighting and an outdoor patio area.

Progress in the Bedrooms

The interior of the house is taking shape with remarkable progress in the bedrooms. Following the successful flooring installation, we only need to add floor trim and door trim to complete these spaces. The flooring's beautiful color perfectly complements the wall color, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. In the main bedroom, we plan to furnish it with a bed, nightstands, and other decor items. Additionally, we are considering painting the brick wall in this room to add a subtle accent, similar to the bathroom's design.

Furniture and Decor Plans

Creating a welcoming and stylish living space involves careful planning and thoughtful choices. In the upcoming weeks, we will be focusing on furnishing and decorating the house. From finding the perfect furniture pieces to selecting decor items that showcase the house's unique charm, every detail matters. With our attention to detail and passion for design, we aim to create a beautiful and harmonious environment that future homeowners will love.

Window Installation

To further enhance the house's appeal and functionality, we have scheduled window installation for the end of this month. The addition of new windows will not only improve energy efficiency but also elevate the overall aesthetics of the house. We are excited to see how the new windows will transform the interior and exterior spaces, bringing in more natural light and providing breathtaking views.

Landscaping and Outdoor Improvements

Completing the house's transformation involves not only the interior but also the exterior. In the coming weeks, we plan to focus on landscaping, including gravel, bushes, and creating a patio area. These outdoor improvements will provide a welcoming space for residents to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. By attending to every aspect of the house, we are committed to creating a home that is both functional and aesthetically appealing.

From the flooring installation and exterior painting to the front and back door makeovers, each step brings us closer to realizing our vision for this little brick house. We remain dedicated to completing the kitchen makeover, installing windows, and adding the finishing touches, such as furniture and decor.
