Interiors with Panache Featured Project…

This 1911 home had a great footprint but just needed a lot of TLC to bring it up to the standards of today’s living. Upon looking at this project, I knew that it needed some major work in a few strategic areas.

  • The stairs were quite steep as to be unsafe

  • The dining room, bathroom and laundry had been gutted

  • The only bathroom was downstairs, away from the bedrooms

  • The electrical all throughout the house was knob and tube and needed to be brought up to date

  • The kitchen did not have a dishwasher

What this house had going for it

  • Beautiful wooden arched front door and brick exterior with the sloped roof line

  • Quiet neighborhood

  • Fenced in backyard

  • Front and Side deck to entrances

  • Great layout

  • Light-filled rooms

  • Fantastic attic space for storage

Once this project was completed, I recall walking in the front door and it was energetically completely transformed.

  • From the studs out—electrical reworked, plumbing reworked, duct work reworked, new insulation

  • Fresh, neutral paint colors

  • A stairway that looked stunning and functioned perfectly

  • Hardwood floors in living and sleeping areas

  • Kitchen layout was reworked, and given a refresh as well as dishwasher installed

  • New layout for downstairs bathroom and laundry

  • Porcelain and Ceramic tile floors in laundry and bathrooms

  • Dining Room with applied moulding (Board and Batten) on the walls

  • Space taken from the 3rd bedroom and created a bathroom with a shower.

  • Deck cleaned, re-stained and painted

Upon completion, we had an offer in 36 hours and above listing price! Head to the Panache Blog for the complete story!
