Before & After: Hull Avenue

We instantly fell head over heels with 1508 Hull Ave when we first walked through with our realtor friend, Eric Quiner, last winter. This unique home was built in 1926 and is directly across from Grandview University. We knew right away that the house had great bones and ever charming original architecture under it’s current dirty and dated finishes.

We reconfigured the kitchen - deleting a wall and remapping the tragic flow of the entire house. We were able to add a drop zone and coffee bar. Refinished hardwood floors, trim, casings, and all new windows were replaced in a style keeping the home’s original character in mind.

Kitchen After:

Lighting is a huge love of ours, so when we came across those bubbly milk glass island pendants we had to design the whole house around them.

Living Room Before:

Living Room After:

Our goal with any historic renovation is to give the home a new, modern life but always-always keep the original character in mind and bring it back to life. We are so pleased with Hull Avenue’s new look and know that it’s new owners feel the same - it went under contract hours after the listing was posted.

Before & After: Ingersoll Flip

Happy Friday! Today we wanted to share with you the amazing before and after pictures of our Ingersoll Ave Flip. This home definitely needed a little TLC, which is exactly what we gave it. Fresh paint, new lighting, fun tile, and ta-da! You have a fresh and unique design in a home that otherwise might have been dull and drab.

For this flip, we partnered with our friends at Capital City Investors to update and refresh what was already a home with “good bones”. Contrasting colors and textures brought a fun vibe to a typical home with some not-so-great paint choices. Say bye-bye to the crazy blue and yellow walls, and HELLO to a fresh and modern updated space!

 

Living Room Before

 

By whitewashing the fireplace, adding a stained mantel, and painting the built-ins SW Gauntlet Gray 7019, the space becomes clean and modern, but also welcoming and cozy.

 

Living Room After:

 

Kitchen Before:

 

Along with new finishes, a more functional layout breathes life and possibility into a small but mighty kitchen! By moving the oven to the dining room wall and adding more cabinets, there is already a great increase in storage space.

 

Kitchen After:

 

Sunroom Before:

Simple updates such as flooring, paint, and lighting created a light and airy sunroom space perfect for an afternoon oasis.
