Tour of the Remodeling Blitz on the PH House (Picture heavy)

Apparently it takes a deadline to get Hubby and I to the finish line. We're great off the blocks and down the first quarter, but we tend to run out of steam on the home stretch. We had remodeled the house when we bought it in 1995, but started updating it again in 2010.  Then, a small kitchen change eventually morphed into a whole house update.

When we decided to sell our PH House, we set a summer deadline, but first had to finish all the projects we had not quite finished, mainly the kitchen. Stripping all those cabinets, ai, yi, yi. I had taken a good, long break from that and never gotten back on it. The laundry hall cabinets weren't finished, the family room needed paint, there was unfinished bits of trim here and there. But mainly it was the kitchen. We started working on it in the spring, and as the summer wore on, we had to step it up. There was just no time for pictures. So, finally, here are the 'after' pictures, almost two years after selling the house.

Outside Front - After:

And the original Before:




Outside Back - After: (Two photos stitched together)

I can't believe I never took a picture of the back of the house after it was finished.  Here is mid-addition but before the gate was added:

And the Before:

A peek into the courtyard off the dining room.  After:

Before:  (Or as close as I could find.)

Now the inside tour.  First the foyer, which has no before picture because it was too small to get a good angle.  We took down a wall and combined the original foyer with an adjoining hallway.

Straight ahead into the living room.  The After:

And the Before:

Moving into the dining room added in 2012 and the kitchen.  The After:

The Before: of the kitchen (which used to be a kitchen AND dining room)


Around the corner is the laundry hall with built in washer and dryer.

Hall with laundry closet Before:


The original garage converted to family room.  No before photo; you've seen one two car garage, you've seen them all.  
After:

One of the two small bedrooms.  The other one didn't photograph well with a larger bed in it.  After:

Before: (taken after the first remodel)

The hall bath, which did not get an update except for wall paint.  This is from the first remodel and of course, no before photos.  I would apologize for being a bad blogger, but I wasn't a blogger then.  It would have been nice to have some before pictures to truly appreciate the condition of this bathroom though.   After:

Then, the master bedroom.  After:

And the Before:




The master bath did not have an update either other than wall paint.  These are the same photos I've shared before.  We didn't take pictures of this bathroom for the realtor listing.  He thought this bathroom was so small that people shouldn't see it until they came to look at the house! lol

After:



And Before:


And last is the office, coffee bar, and bathroom.  We built this part with the garage in 2003, so no Before photos.

Thanks for going on this tour with me.  Looking at these photos of the finished house makes me wonder if we'll ever get there with our current project.  It seems a long way off right now.
