GLENVILLE RENOVATIONS - LIVING ROOM AND LAUNDRY

So with the approaching hurricane, I am looking for a distraction. I figured I would start highlighting some of the renovation before and after photos from our Glenville Ave Project. I never did complete that with Hull Rd (our last project), and I had regretted it. I did not want to make that mistake again!

We had a lot to work on with Glenville. The house was built in 1941 and had gone through minimal updates. We began with the living room and laundry. There was a lot to do including:

• Trim and Wall Repair

• Floor Refinshing

• Bookcase repair

• Door Fixing

• Removal of debris

• Fireplace insert removal

• Relocation of the Water Heater (it was in the kitchen - we moved it to open up space in the kitchen for cabinets; this is typical of the 1940’s homes)

• Replaced all windows

• Replaced sheet vinyl flooring in the laundry room with luxury vinyl tile

• Ceiling repair and paint

• Paint, paint, and paint!

The final product was clean and simple. We used Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray in eggshell which is one of my favorite greiges/grays . it has enough warmth in it to be cozy, but not so much that it turns something beige. The trim is nearly Sherwin Williams Extra White in a semi-gloss. The laundry room flooring is by Shaw Matrix in Franklin Hickory.

I will talk about the floor staining in another post, so for now, enjoy the befores and afters!

I hope you enjoyed the before and afters of the living room! Stay tuned for the rest of the series! Stay safe during the hurricane please!

INTRODUCING GLENVILLE AVE - OUR NEWEST HAYMOUNT HOME

We are delighted to announce the completion (or near completion anyway) of the newest Haymount Home: Glenville Ave.  This 1941 beauty features 2 bedrooms and 1 one bathroom and is on a wonderful street in the heart of Haymount.

This project was a shotgun renovation, featuring top to bottom renovations throughout, and it was completed in less than 8 weeks.  We discovered this home and realized that it needed to be brought back to its full potential and could not wait to get moving on making it shine!

Please enjoy this home tour.  Forgive the fact that everything was not perfectly cleaned up (floors still need cleaning and there are a few little things missing like the smoke detectors that are not in and a few missing outlet covers :)  They will be finalized this week.  There is also a shed that is still under construction and will be renovated as well.  Our focus was on the house for now.  Don't worry - over the next few weeks we will be featuring a bunch of blog posts with before and after photos for your enjoyment. 

Normally we stage all our homes to highlight their beautiful potential, but we were not able to do that for Glenville....because we already have clients moving in!  They contacted us prior to finishing the renovations and fell in love with Glenville.  We could not turn them away and they promised to decorate it beautifully and let us come back for pictures; we are excited to see how they make it their home!

We welcome your feedback on Glenville.  Please drop us a line and let us know your thoughts.  What did we get right? What did we miss? Though Glenville was rented before it even hit the market, there is good news in store: we start our next project at the end of the month, so stay tuned!

“House + Love = HOME”

Hope you enjoyed our tour!  Drop me a line and let me know what you think!  Have a great week!
