Rehabs Revealed: Chicago Part 3 of 4 – Kitchen

For the kitchen makeover, we wanted a larger “feeling” in the space. We accomplished this by keeping an open concept between the kitchen and dining room. The lighter kitchen cabinet color we used really gave a brighter and larger feeling to a smaller area. We also decided to go with a refrigerator that wasn’t so large that it overpowered the area. The kitchen is the first thing you see as you come around the corner from the living room, so we designed it with the granite counter tops and tile back splash to really make it pop! There wasn’t a lot that we could do differently with the kitchen layout due to the basement door being in the kitchen, but the glass accent tile and subway tile on the walls really diverted the attention to have a positive outcome.

Rehabs Revealed: Chicago Part 4 of 4 – Bathroom

As you can see, the house turned out great. It needed a lot… but with an eye toward design and creating visual appeal, any house can be transformed into an inspiring home! Bathroom Improvement Strategy Since this was a one-bathroom house, we would have liked to add an extra bathroom or even a half-bath, but the layout didn’t allow it. Always consider how to add another bathroom to a house in order to add value-it’s rare when we don’t change a one-bathroom to a two-bathroom house. Here are some of the SKU’s we used in the bathroom: Floor Tile – White Octagon (838-494) Floor Grout – Delorian Gray, sanded (656-844) Shower Tile – White Subway and Bullnose (828-347 and 229-189) Shower Accent – 1″x1″x12″ Celestial Tile (406-508) Shower Grout – Delorian Gray, non-sanded (999-482) Shower Faucet – Banbury 1-Handle Tub/Shower (243-261) Bathtub – 5′ Aloha White LH (478-640) Toilet – Dual Flush by Glacier Bay (215-583) Vanity – 24″ St. Paul Madeline (628-505) Faucet – 4″ 2-Handle (247-368) Mirror – 22″ x 28″ Deco Brushed Nickel (481-166) Lighting – Martha Stewart Living 3-light Skylands Collection (511-395) Towel Bar Set – Greenwich 3-piece Bath Accessory Kit in Satin Nickel (690-977) ...
