Former cabinet designer here(: Putting the refrigerator to one side instead of the center, (which would just break up the counter space) would probably be a better use of space. And removing the peninsula/bar area and extending the cabinets on the back wall and adding a small island would open things up ALOT. Anyway, those are just some of my opinions(:

[@levacydandino5856]

Agree completely. It's really hard cleaning the crack between the fridge and the counters without pulling the whole thing out if there are counters on both sides instead of just scooting it over a little bit. Stuff falls down those cracks all the time. Definitely needs a dishwasher, though.

[@constancepentzer3017]

Yes, I agree. The refrigerator should be to one side, so there is a nice sized counter space for baking and projects. Your other counter spaces are broken up by your sink and stove.

[@donnahughes8409]

@@levacydandino5856 That’s why you put the casters that you buy at Lowe’s underneath your refrigerator so it slides out easily

[@lucyboosmom]

@@donnahughes8409 Casters only help if you have enough height to use them. I was going to suggest putting the refrigerator at the end nearest the dining room instead of in the middle so you can have any size of fridge you want. When you put them in the middle of cabinets, you're limited to the space allowed by the cabinets surrounding it. The other points above are very good reasons as well.

[@amycpaine]

Grout pen for bathroom?

[@donnabennett1256]

Since you are tearing out all the cabinets, I think you should put the dishwasher to the right of the sink. It will be easier to load AND dishwashers are usually beside the sink, since the water supply is right there. I would leave the fridge where you planned to put the dishwasher (still with at least a small cabinet to the left of it). It will be more like the working area “triangle” from sink to range to fridge. The bank of cabinets on the other wall could include a pantry cabinet. Extending the countertop to make a bar area is a great idea. The way it is now is wasting space. **Be careful in your thinking about pulling up the linoleum as it could contain asbestos. You may want to just seal it in with the new flooring.** P.S. Do get rid of the nasty blue tile😂😂

[@patriciadelisle2189]

Lot of good points = make sense!

[@Christmasbaby51]

I was going to say the same thing

[@lynnedelacy2841]

All excellent points

[@tomturley9082]

Reading your post after I posted. We said the same thing, lol. One thing I would do is take out the wall between the living room and kitchen, open it all up. You can put a beam up there and open it up.

[@donnabennett1256]

@@tomturley9082 The only problem with taking out the whole wall is that then there isn’t room for a sufficient amount of cabinets needed for good resale value.

[@suzanneblack6873]

I would look into moving the range to the outside wall and venting to the outside. Dishwasher should be next to the sink.

[@KristiWilson]

Exactly what I was thinking. That would also allow the island countertop to be used fully.

[@nyk222]

Yup a downdraft.

[@abbyblack8144]

Don’t be afraid to sit down with a few cabinet layout designers to get a good idea of what your options are. Places like Home Depot and Lowes offer these services. In most cases they are free. It’s good to get several opinions and price comparisons from people that do this for a living. Don’t be afraid to move walls, completely flip flop a layout from what it is to a better layout that works better for the house. A lot of people make the mistake of just putting thing back to the same layout they were. Lastly in most cases dishwashers should be right next to your sink!

[@amandacreech5579]

Don't paint the bathroom tile, honestly a cheap fiberglass surround tub is a better option than painted tile, you can always tell that it's painted which immediately leads potential buyers to think that you've cheaped out and just covered up problems.

[@jambons147]

Or decals

[@michelleeddy815]

totally agree!

[@codyvermillion2381]

Don’t paint tile! People will notice and think you went the cheap way. So they will think, did they go cheap all the way !?

[@aaron71]

But a cheap fiberglass surround is LITERALLY for covering up problems 😅

[@christineslemons4863]

Truth 👍🏻

[@missyklein9161]

Just make sure wherever you put the dishwasher it should be beside you when you're standing at the sink not behind you so you don't trip over it or it's not awkward to load LOL

[@stevenbear1610]

Also, get the dumpster delivered mid demo. The more you are able to take out all at once the better. Time is not your friend with dumpsters. Move as much as you can to the carport for a quick load out. Windows first, getting rid of old windows without a dumpster is a pain.

[@deni2622]

And leave the ramp up until the end…so much easier to get everything in and out

[@Fryefinds88]

With the kitchen linoleum be careful it might be asbestos due to the age.also the tub tile probably is moldy behind

[@jannawalker9853]

What he said!!

[@tomturley9082]

Put the stove where you said you were going to put the dishwasher and put a range hood that would go over the oven. Easy access to the outside. Push the Island out and have the counter overhang to allow barstools under where people can eat and sit, can't do that with a stove there. Put the dishwasher to the right of the sink, makes it easy to load the dishwasher. 100% get rid of the cabinets over the current stove. Refrigerator where you said and floor to ceiling cabinets on either side since it doesn't look like there is a panty.

[@terrystexastreasures6809]

Yes dishwasher to right of sink. May have to widen that area to fit it, but you can install the bar cabinets further anyway.

[@sandypentecost1266]

Agreed! I don’t like the stove in the bar area lol

[@denisemusicnut]

I was going to suggest the floor to ceiling cabinets next to the refrigerator, but you beat me to it! I like your idea of moving the range to the wall near the door, although a bit of counter space might be handy between the range and doorway. The dishwasher definitely needs to be next to the sink. It’s much handier there, and having it across the room from the sink would require additional plumbing and costs.

[@cindybishop2425]

Yes I agree with all of this too!

[@johnconti1087]

[@tylerjoseph7532]

Could put the baseball bat into the design somewhere!

[@keemandikotravels]

Josh that flooring underneath the hardwood could be the same flooring that has asbestos in it be careful. There's a company you can send it to to make sure but it resembles mine that had asbestos.

[@seanmoore6504]

Yes, this!! Our house (1973) had linoleum that had asbestos. We had it tested and they recommended to keep it wet as we removed it. So the dust does not get loose in the house.

[@designstinamarshmallow9868]

About the kitchen: A good idea is to have alot of counter space beside the fridge, so you can take things out and put them somewhere. Putting a fridge in a corner make the space seem "air-ier", and gives a better flow and not so blocked off. When I remodeled my kitchen, I drew up the whole kitchen in smaller scale on paper, and made mini to-scale cabinets and appliances, outlets, water and furniture for the dining room, in paper cut-outs to re-arrange and test it out before deciding the final layout. I also watched renovation programs and read books on what makes a kitchen work for a good work flow. Congratulations to the house, and good luck guys!! 💕 🏡

[@beckymaus4614]

Thanks for sharing! I am excited to watch! I am so pleased that you bought this house with cash, and it's going to be fun to watch you fund your renovations from your reselling!

[@stacybailey1770]

Love you guys and I can't wait to see what you do with the house. The house isn't that bad ,a good update is all you need.

[@Officialpadilla]

Great purchase hope for the best and can’t wait for the results you inspired me during quarantine to filp stuff it was amazing great to see new content in the channel

[@kd4036]

I flipped 5 homes in Georgia back in 2010-2012 and it was so much fun. I only bought homes that needed some TLC. Your going to learn a lot and have fun while doing it. Wishing you both much success on this new journey. Oh stay away from gray wood floors and walls 😊 JMO seems like every flipped house that’s what they do. Make it unique in your way. Good luck ❤️

[@malicewonderland872]

Would turn that kitchen load bearing wall into a half wall for sure, or open frame it so you can see into the living room all the way. It would make that small living room space appear much larger with a more "open concept" layout.

[@redfishbluetail]

I did the same thing to my ranch style house. The kitchen door way was actually in the hallway. You had to leave the living room, walk down the hall, then turn into the kitchen. We enclosed the original door way, then made about an 10-12ft opening between living room & kitchens. Amazing what a small change can do.

[@sarahmcveety509]

So excited to see some new style content! This will be so fun to watch you do this!

[@DanaInvests]

Side note.... Since you own it free and clear when you go to sell you *could* do seller financing and become the bank and make double the amount over 20 years vs the one chunk up front. Just something to starting thinking about. (also can sell that note for more than you would have sold the house to for someone else who wants to own it long term and collect those hundreds of thousands in interest)

[@HairyTornado]

Yep! So many ways to come out on top with this deal

[@Pattaya-360]

A 100% ROI in twenty years is not a good investment…….

[@deni2622]

If you choose to use this option do some research on real estate contracts that allow you to keep title in your name until mortgage paid in full. It alleviates the extremely expensive and time consuming process of foreclosure. Much faster and easier. I sold many homes using these and highly recommend.

[@AnnBarrington]

Also, explore if you can put a door on the wall where the fridge space currently is, perhaps a pocket door. If you can, then you could potentially easily raise the floor in the washroom and create an interior access washroom instead of exterior access and then you might be able to potentially work in more storage space in there too. That could significantly increase your resale potential.

[@dinodancer4874]

I can't wait to follow this adventure. I hope you show us as much as you can. Excited for you both!

[@kevinbennett6278]

Congrats guys and best of luck to you as you start this new venture!

[@andrewdaniel653]

Great idea guys. You could just change doors and work top of kitchen if you looking for quick flip. Also if you are taking out kitcken cupboards then save them and put out in area of washing machine along with the sink unit too. You will have plenty of storage and can swill and soak things if required

[@bowmangames]

I do glass work. On those windows, it’s overall going to be easier to just replace the glass then to get whole new windows. A new window will sound cheaper until you figure in the labor and lead times. Also for the bathroom get full length mirrors to make them feel brighter and bigger

[@lesleykoz3311]

Haley! You're so great at this! Love the spotlight a couple of times. Great purchase and tons of work ahead. But, if you like doing it, there are plenty of rewards. I'm finishing up my tile back splash in kitchen and it wasn't hard.

My only thought on the kitchen layout is if you want to keep the kitchen to dining/living area completely open you can switch the oven and dishwasher location.? Would still look nice and be completely open without the range hood

[@HairyTornado]

Oh wow!

[@lissamk3990]

Love the wood floors & I don't think the living room looks that dark--it has a nice cozy feel to me, and I think you can play that up when staging it. :) I'd personally rework the kitchen to not have the stovetop on that peninsula, but otherwise, it's a nice size kitchen and should look great when you've updated it. As for the vintage tile, I'd keep that for sure. But I'm a big sucker for vintage surprises like that in a house. I like when a house feels freshly updated but still has a few nods to its original decade of existence. And I like the idea of tile in the kitchen for sure. I'm not a fan of laminate next to real wood, either. :) I definitely think this was the better choice of the 2 houses you were considering. Best of luck with it!

I personally really love the color of the bathroom tile. However, if you decide to change it, there are people who look for vintage tiles to purchase so you might want to check into that and see if that's money that you could make or would it be worth it

[@traceyfarrow8156]

Agree completely but we couldn't get ours off the wall in one piece.

[@fireslayer52]

I think I would use 16” x 16” tile in the kitchen dining area. Also be sure to use a rough textured tile for bathrooms and other places that may get wet.

Best bang for your buck will be to simply get new countertops, new sink, new faucet, add new hardware to the kitchen, and add black liners to the cabinets. They don't look all that bad and your roi will be so much better. like 50% better honestly.

Rip out the kitchen and completely open the wall not just a doorway. Extend the kitchen into the dining room and put in a large island. Hire a project manager to oversee the entire renovation. If you only have one bathroom reinstall a shower tub combo but definitely tear out the entire bathroom. Kitchens and bathrooms sell a house. Luxury vinyl flooring throughout, it’s more durable and the luxury vinyl has become very popular and more affordable than most engineered wood or plank. I could go on forever spending your money on this your house lol. Definitely do the demo, painting and leave the difficult install items to the professionals.
