Hmm...although I have some reservations with discussing landlording or real estate investing, it is afterall my blog.
So here goes...we finally finished renovating our investment property. It has been a grueling experience with some headache and of course, its rewards. This project has been almost six months in the making and continues. Can you believe that? SIX MONTHS?!?!? I have to admit, I am very happy with the results. So let's go ahead and provide the pictures as pictures are so much more interesting right now.
Kitchen (After) - New laminate cabinets - customized by the husband's dad (that was another headache that I will not go into details about). We added granite countertops. New range and range hood as well as new sink. New floor. I love the color of the cabinets and although the stainless steel appliance was more expensive - I think it is worth the money. 
Bathroom (Before) - Disgusting floor and holes in the walls. Big window and white tiles midway up to the window makes the bathroom feel smaller. The vanity top did not flush with the cabinet again making the space smaller. 
Bathroom (After) - New wall tiles, new smaller window, new vanity and medicine cabinet, new toilet, new floor and new door. The smaller window and tiles up to the ceiling help to create the feeling that the bathroom is bigger. New vanity cabinet gives the feeling that there is more storage space. 
Bedroom (before) - What were they thinking? The walls were blue and the ceiling was green. I guess they weren't thinking!
Bedroom (After) - Ceiling is white (although you can't see it in this picture). New wall color called "lightweight beige." Does it look like beige? I don't think it does. It is more of a vanilla or cream color. New window for the bedroom as well as throughout the place. We decided to go with laminate instead of carpet. We hope the floors will last....

Kitchen (Before) - The floor was disgusting as there were no tiles. The range was not hooked up, no range hood and look at at awful backsplash behind the sink. The sink was about 5 inches deep!
