This submission comes from an owner who’s fireplace was beyond repair. I like the look of the brick? They installed it themselves. See before picture after the jump. (more…)

Renovation

I thought this was going to be a sweet renovation. Maybe that is just a primer for the window in the center? Is that a good color choice? I think it just doesn’t please the eye. Am I wrong?

I have often lamented the loss of front yards but I think this house has it right, what do you think?

This is, what looks like from the outside, a fantastic renovation up north on Georgia Ave.

Many of you have probably walked by this home on New Hampshire Avenue near the metro. It had the dreaded vinyl all across the front and is now being replaced with brick. It looks like it is going to be pretty sweet.
Wait a second. My house is entirely ensconced in vinyl. And it is beautiful. Until I win the lottery and can afford nice cedar shingles I’m stuck with vinyl. Vinyl requires very little little upkeep and won’t give you cancer like asbestos shingles. So don’t hate too much.

Remember this atrocious renovation on Sherman Avenue? It was the one with the ridiculous third story addition? Well if you thought it couldn’t get any worse, you’d be wrong. Apparently they thought a nice big window would look too appealing. So in order to make the home a complete disaster, they decided to shrink the big front window. Can someone please explain this move to me?

Well, this is the one room in my house I’ve had renovated. As I haven’t got my new camera yet, all there is, is this small photo from my phone. This is what you guys have forced me to do. Send more renovation photos please! I of course didn’t redo the bathroom on my own. The contractor convinced me to spend $1000 bucks more for a whirlpool bath which I have used all of once. And then I had to take a shower. Anyway, send more renovation photos or I’ll be forced to show you my kitchen…

The proud owner of this kitchen writes:
“1. forgive my love of chickens…..
2. we sealed off the doorway to create an “L” shaped kitchen, other
than that we kept the original shape of the kitchen
3. we added cabinets, tile backsplash, countertops, microwave, oven,
dishwasher, a new floor and a bar
4. we kept the original hutch
5. all we need to do now is replace that horrible refrigerator!!”

This is a beautiful professional renovation. The owner tells me that he doesn’t know the details but that some parts were imported from Brazil. I think the slate floors are particularly cool.
