Fountain Country Club Remodel.


Our charming Fountain Country Club home is finally done!  This was our first major remodel and we poured our everything into it.  After only 16 days on the market we've found a buyer and are under contract!  Below are before and after pictures.  Enjoy!

Laundry Room

BEFORE: Adjacent to the family room, this space was nothing more than a place for storage.

AFTER: New laundry room!  Before, the laundry was tucked away in the dingy utility room.  We built a wall with ventilated bi-fold doors, brought the appliances out into the open, built a big working counter and... voila!  Unidentified space made totally usable.


Family Room

BEFORE: The lowest level of the house was unfinished when we purchased the property.

AFTER: We added approximately 400 square feet of finished space.

Kiva Room

BEFORE:  Can you spell U-G-L-Y?

AFTER: Invites you to snuggle up with a bottle of wine and enjoy the fire.


Master Bedroom

BEFORE: View into what was a very dis-configured closet space

AFTER:  View into the new walk in closet - to die for!


BEFORE: Dated fixtures and brown baseboards had to go.

AFTER


Master Bath

BEFORE: This vanity and light fixture were original to the 1976 construction of the house

AFTER:  Glamorous!


BEFORE:  The space was constricted and bland.

AFTER: We removed the wall that partitioned the toilet from the rest of the room.  We also moved the wall behind the vanity back 18 inches.  These changes made an undeniable impact on the flow and configuration of the room.  



Walk In Closet

BEFORE:  Opposite the master bath there was a jumbled space with two closed closets and a vanity.  

BEFORE:  View of the space from the Master Bedroom


AFTER:  We removed the vanity, removed the walls that closed in the two separate closets and created one big walk in closet.  This was a major transformation and a great selling point of the house.


Second Bedroom

BEFORE: Another ugly, bland room


AFTER

Guest Bedroom

BEFORE: The downstairs guest bedroom was icy and stripped down to the concrete pad


AFTER: We really warmed the space up.

Hall

BEFORE:  Sub floor, sub floor, sub floor

AFTER


BEFORE:  1970's fixture needed to go

AFTER:  Streamlined can lighting made all the difference



Dining Room

BEFORE: Nothing but sub-floor and a dated chair rail.

AFTER: Great place to entertain.


BEFORE: The space was calling out for help.

AFTER:  We came to the rescue!



Entry Way

BEFORE: Very closed.  See the funky 70's parque floor?


AFTER: Open and flowing. So inviting!

Breakfast Nook

BEFORE:  Dark and gloomy.


AFTER: The perfect place to drink a hot cup of coffee!

Kitchen

BEFORE: The kitchen was drab and dated.  


AFTER:  It sparkles!

East Bay Home - A complete success!

The following posts include pictures of the final product from our first project (sorry, no before pics!) We remodeled 4 bathrooms, updated interior paint colors/carpet, spruced up the yard and did staging throughout the house to get it ready to sell.  We're certain that the remodel was worth every penny!

East Bay Home - Attached Bath








East Bay Home - Common Bath









New granite counter-top, 16" travertine floor tiles, square light fixtures and a beautiful green-gray paint job make the sink area of this common bathroom more than inviting.  The shower/toilet area bears it's original white shower tiles but has been updated with new marble/travertine accent strips.  This area also has new can lighting and a slightly lighter paint color to make the area feel as light and spacious as possible (there is no natural light in this room).  The Moen rain shower head was again a much needed upgrade to this bathroom!
