Renovation Update - Week 4 - Bubb Cribb Team #PVKS - High House Project - Wood Floors / Tile Floors / Kitchen Backsplash & More

Renovation Update - Week #4

September is gone, October is here, once again the KC Chiefs appear to suck (sorry if there is anyone that is younger and didn't know that every 2 or 3 years they turn into a pumpkin).  :) Congrats KC Royals on willing the American League Central and bringing home field advantage back to KC!

95 Wins - Celebrate with a 95 Point Wine - saw one of these in my cellar the other day - Bodegas Muga Selecion Especial Reserva - Usually under $50.00 and worth a hundred each time!

OK - Now back to the High House project..

Step One - Power-wash & Mow - I personally pulled out the power-washer and spent the afternoon blowing out the spiderwebs, years of debris, wasp nests, etc... we paired it up with having all of the house windows professionally cleaned, storms put on correctly and screens put in place.  Long story short, it helped.  I would put this one on the once a year spring cleaning list!

Power-wash Continued - This door appeared to be beige with brown, but five minutes of power-washing later it actually was white!  Also me the neighbor who let me know the outside light by this door has been left on for the last 11 days straight.  Whoops!

Step Two -  Wood Floors - The second coats are done and the wood floors look great, here is  shot of them in the master bedroom.  A nice even matched coat all across the house!

Step Three - Tile Floors - Master bath tile finished and also looks great, had a hiccup as the master eye (aka Megan) noticed that the pattern was slightly off and that it was going to drive her nuts seeing it every day.  Redone and fixed, love the simple colors and strong pattern.

Tile Floors in the Hall Bath - Check out how great the floors look with the classy wallpaper and we still brought in the lighter yellow (original) tile to bring the old and new together.

Here Comes The Subway - The white subway tile is in, check it out how looks with a bit of the new quartz countertops.  Bright and inviting this is a lovely change of pace for the kitchen and undoubtabely will be the social contact point for the house!

Subway Tile - Another angle on the new kitchen tile and new faucet installed!

Glossy and Glamorous - We loved the large plank boards and kept them, a touch you won't find in a new house, we kept those for sure and are happy with the refinishing!

Laundry Room - Not a very "hot shot" of the furnace, but I put some extra sweat and labor in the painting of the floor in the laundry room for a more "finished feel" in this unfinished space.  Acid washed the concrete and then painted / stained it.  Plans for the garage as well - probably go more grey than this camel color, but it goes nicely with the new carpet in finished basement.

Take #2 - Entry Tile From Garage - We came over to the house and low and behold the flooring team was cruising ahead of schedule, the problem, they had used the WRONG TILE.  Reason number 233 why you need to keep a check on your renovations.  They took up the modern black tiles with a light line that they had originally installed and put in what we actually ordered!

Moving day is set for October 10th with movers hired and ready to go.  Lots of installation, appliances and deliveries set this week from Home Depot, Lowes & Nebraska Furniture Mart + the main team gets back to hang doors, finish hardware in the kitchen, touchup paint and much more!

Have a great week!
