Dori REVEAL part 1

I hope you enjoy these weekly updates as I learn to navigate through the business of flipping houses.  My latest flip house, Dori sports the 3 L’s in real estate, but needed more than a bit of creativity to make the house sellable. You can find more about this house and about my 4 previous flip houses here. It's my favorite time in each flip- REVEAL TIME!  Today I'll show you the transformation of the exterior and the bedrooms.

First the outside made quite a change.  It wasn't exactly an eyesore before, but it really had approximately ZERO curb appeal.

And the backyard before ...

And now so much cleaner and more open.  The old barn and overgrown wisteria are no more and there's a wide open place to play with a new slider for direct access.

Heading inside, let's hit the bedrooms first.  If you haven't been following along, the inside recap is pretty much everything is new except the structure.  There was really NOTHING worth keeping.

Small bedroom #1:

That before makes me shudder... thankfully now.....

The other small bedroom made just as drastic a change:

Say it with me: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

And last on our bedroom tour, but certainly not least, the master..... started off cozy and welcoming, right?

Doesn't she look awesome?  I knew this cute little house was hiding somewhere under all that crap and paneling!

Check back Monday for the next part of the reveal!!
