This quad-level house is located in one of the better neighborhoods in Hammond, Indiana. Many of the homes in the surrounding area are 40 or more years old. However, there are also some newer homes around the corner from this one. This certainly helped the ARV (after repair value). This house has three bedrooms upstairs and an additional bedroom in the lower level. We left the layout alone upstairs with three bedrooms and one bathroom, but we changed the shower in the downstairs bathroom (off the family room) to custom glass shower walls with custom tile. We went with a warm color scheme. This house was only on the market for five days, and we had a full-price offer! ...

7442 Idaho Avenue – Week Two – Kitchen We only made two layout modifications to this kitchen. First, we eliminated some upper cabinets to create more of an open concept and a “bar” feel. Second, we opened up the kitchen wall off the dining room to create a much more open concept between the dining room and the living room. It was a very rare thing for us to actually re-use the old kitchen cabinets, but they cleaned up beautifully! The gorgeous accent tile from Home Depot along with the custom-order granite really pulled all the colors together. From the flooring to the Martha Stewart paint on the cabinetry. Here are some of the SKU’s we used in the kitchen: Cabinets – Unfinished Oak Cabinets (387-246) Cabinets Color – Feather Duster (MSL 251) Cabinet Handles – Liberty Bronze with Copper Highlights Arched Pull (571-820) Backsplash – MS International Venetian Café (1000-012-776) Backsplash Grout – Polyblend #382 Bone 10-lb.

The warm color scheme really came through nicely in the remodeling of both bathrooms at this house. The upstairs bathroom is basically shared by the three bedrooms upstairs, and the downstairs bathroom with a custom-glass shower door is an optional bathroom for the downstairs bedroom or a great powder room off the family room and fireplace area. Rebecca’s tile choices really came through with a fresh look being we had the contractor’s mix up the designs a little to wrap around the glass block window upstairs, and we had them add diamond-shaped accents in the downstairs bathroom. Here are the SKU’s we used in the bathrooms: Upstairs Bathroom: Floor Tile – Sandy Beach (505-791) Floor Grout – Bone (123-852) Shower Tile – Montagna Cortina (102-294) Accent – Cosmos (366-928) Grout – Bone (123-851) Vanity – Home Decorators Collection (1000-019-073) Faucet – Moen Banbury 4” Bronze (502-654) Mirror – Headwest (406-293) Towel Bar Set – Delta Crestfield in Venetian Bronze (487-323) Bathtub – 5′ Aloha White RH (481-143) Tub/Shower Faucet – Moen Single Handle in Mediterranean Bronze (502-734) Toilet – Dual Flush by Glacier Bay (215-583) Downstairs Bathroom: Floor Tile – Broadmoor Topaz 13” x 20” (1000-012-494) Floor Grout – Bone (123-852) Shower Tile – Broadmoor Topaz 10” x 14” (1000-016-277) Accent – Café Noche (535-413) Grout – Bone (123-851) Vanity – Del Mar 36” (674-025) Faucet – Moen Banbury 4” Bronze (502-654) Mirror – Deco Brushed Platinum Rectangle (876-222) Towel Bar Set – Delta Crestfield in Venetian Bronze (487-323) Shower Faucet – Moen Single Handle in Mediterranean Bronze (502-734) Toilet – Dual Flush by Glacier Bay (215-583) ...

The warm color scheme we used on this house really came through beautifully. Once the house was lightly staged with furniture, we put air fresheners throughout the house and listed it on the market. We accepted a full-price offer after five days on the MLS! The water table is high in this community. Therefore, we had to install a new drain tile for proper drainage, which was the main expense that we hadn’t originally anticipated. Other than that, this property was a terrific buy-fix-sell, and Rebecca’s choices is what really put this house over the top! Here are some of the SKU’s we used: Material list (Interior): Wall and Ceiling Color – Aged Beige (Behr PPU 7-9) Trim Color – Riviera Beach (Behr PPU 7-7m) Door Color – Rolling Pebble (Behr PPU 7-23) Flooring – Hampton Bay High-Gloss Natural Palm (822-042) Carpet – Arabesque (1000-019-537) Interior Doors – Jeldwen Continental-Style (729-608) Living Room Light – 13” Bronze 2-Light Flushmount Twin-Pack (790-545) Dining Room Chandelier – 3-Light Bronze Riverside by Progress (661-224) Baseboards – Pro-Pack of 7/16″x3″x12′ (143-210) Material list (Exterior): Base – Garden Wall (Behr PP 730D-4) Trim – Cornerstone (Behr PP 330E-2) Accent – Intellectual (Behr PP UL260-2) Front Door – Roasted Pepper (Behr PP 180D-7) Door Handle – Kwikset Smartkey (754-825) ...
