Austin 1920's Cottage remodel
This cute, minimalistic home was quite the challenge. The floors were unlevel, the walls were out of plumb, and the doors were swinging open and closed on their own.
Starting from the outside, the garage area was closed in by a previous owner and had very little natural light. We brightened the space by adding a new window. While we were at it, we replaced the other two existing windows to match, patched some damaged siding, and have it a little paint.
As you walk into the home, the floors were now level and 4... I repeat FOUR different flooring finishes in 600 sq ft, were demoed and replaced with a new vibrant LVP!
As you continue into the home, you come to the kitchen which includes the entrance into the only bathroom in the home. We closed in this doorway to add useable space for the kitchen and a future kitchen remodel! Stay tuned!
To the right of the front door, you enter into to the finished garage living space. You can now see the new window we installed, the tacky (and I mean TACKY) hotel quality carpet turned bright and beautiful LVP, and removed the door for an inviting entry into the new common living area!
On the other side of the living space, you can see the double entry closet and the flow of the owners sophisticated and minimalistic style. These floors though! All the interior walls got a fresh coat of paint, paid for by ADDRAC Construction, as appreciation to the owner for allowing us to go on this journey with them!
Back by the front door is the entrance to the only bedroom. Remember that door in the kitchen that we closed off in the kitchen to the bathroom? In this bedroom, we tore down the old closet, shifted it to the other corner of the room with some new bi-fold doors, added some square footage to the bathroom, and installed a new modern sliding barn door entrance!
And finally, the main event (until we start the phase II kitchen remodel!). Not much could be said positively for the old bathroom layout, size, and finishes; this thing needed work. Moving the closet and closing the entrance from the kitchen gave us a lot of added square footage. The old door was where the shower valve is in the photo. The back shower wall with the niche had to be reframed to allow the tile work to be laid on a plumb wall. The owner's tile choices came out fantastic and this barn door was a space saver! This bathroom was now the nicest room in the house! *chef's kiss*
