Foreclosure Renovation

View

This house was “just a bit” on the messy side. It was a foreclosed home, with an overwhelming smell of cat urine throughout the entire house. We had to remove several feet of the drywall due to the pungent odor. The wall pictured was torn down allowing an open floor plan. The kitchen was completely gutted, and the kitchen vinyl flooring was removed as well as the adjoining dining room carpeting. A beautiful island with a wood countertop replaced the space-limiting wall, and vinyl tile flooring nicely tied the entryway, kitchen and dining room together.

Kitchen

New stainless steel sink (newly added garbage disposal) refrigerator (with a water and ice dispenser) dishwasher, and gas range complimented by dark-stained maple cabinets and shaker-style doors updated this kitchen. The gas range location was re-located to the other side of kitchen after the wall was demolished. To help with the budget, Menard’s postform laminate countertops adorned the cabinetry. Crown molding topped the cabinets. The knock-down on the ceiling plus the wrought iron light fixtures blends beautifully with all the upgrades.

Laundry Room

The previous homeowners liked wallpaper. A lot. So much so, that they even wall papered their laundry room. We removed the existing carpet and wallpaper. This room had a lot of potential. The window casing was stripped, sanded, stained and varnished. The existing cabinets were painted a bright white, with a brilliant splash of color on the walls and new vinyl tile flooring transformed this laundry room from dreary to dreamy.

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom’s previous 1980’s ceiling fan had a rough life. It had only three of the five blades remaining, and all the lights had lost their support. The poor lights hung down, reflecting the mood of the house that was awaiting some TLC. We removed the mauve carpeting, sanded and stripped the casing, and replaced the baseboard with new 4½″ high baseboard. We treated the sub-flooring with an odor removal product, and sealed the floors before installing new carpeting. A fresh coat of paint finished this room.

Minneapolis Kitchen Remodel

View

This Minneapolis kitchen needed to get out of the 1980’s, and what a difference this small remodeling project made! We removed and disposed of the existing cabinetry, and replaced it with maple “Cabinets to Go!” cabinets. The granite countertops, bronze faucet with pull-out spray handle and under-mount stainless steel sink really makes this kitchen shine! No electrical upgrades were needed, only a little plumbing and the customer was ready get cooking!
