Sold!
#themanchesterflip project was welcomed with all our hearts. We gutted the house to the studs and then built it back up. We designed three beautiful bathrooms, one gorgeous kitchen, and added pretty light fixtures and archways to the space. And while this renovation brought us many challenges, these challenges proved that having the right people ...

House Exterior Before and After
I drop my jaw as I browse through these before and after photos of #themanchesterflip exterior. It is true that I was there during the entire renovation process and therefore shouldn't be surprised. However, I believe no one can deny that this exterior renovation is a monumental change. Out with dated colors and rotten porch ...

The main bathroom at Manchester
What used to be a small bedroom with mint green walls and a colorful mural is now a beautiful spa-like bathroom. I believe this bathroom transformation was the biggest change in #themanchesterflip. Before renovations took place, the house featured four bedrooms and one bathroom on the second floor. Having a house layout with one bathroom ...

Bathroom Reveal #themanchesterflip
When designing our house flips, we have to find a clever use of materials throughout the home to allow an elevated look within a somewhat constricted budget. The use of subway tiles can be a great way to save on the budget because there are so many different subway tile options and price points available. ...

Open Shelving Styling
When designing the kitchen at #themanchesterflip, I wanted to incorporate open shelving above the farmhouse kitchen sink. Having open shelving in the kitchen is a great way to dress up the space. The open shelving creates an opportunity to inject a few more decorative pieces in a space that otherwise is very functional. So here, ...

The Half Bath at Manchester
as seen on Apartment Therapy This bathroom renovation involved new framing, new plumbing, and new electrical work. In the previous floor plan, the half bath served as an access point to the laundry room. We shifted things around and created a landing area that now has access to two completely separate rooms. The sink, oddly ...

Choosing the Right Finishes
#themanchesterflip is getting the prettiest finishes for its powder room. I am referring to a super pretty brass sconce, a gorgeous ceiling light in brass and black, and a sleek wall-mounted sink in white. We are also adding a black faucet to tie in with the black detail from the ceiling light plus black bathroom ...

The Demo Days are Over
Oh, rejoice, because the demo days are over. It took five full dumpsters to clear #themanchesterflip from top to bottom. We started this long demo journey by removing kitchen cabinets, toilets, sinks, doors, wall paneling and a lot of old and dingy damaged floor tiles. Then, before we had time to realize how deep this ...

What do you think is the best way to elevate a bathroom design? For me, adding the most mesmerizing cement tile will do the trick. When it was time to design the half bath for #themanchesterflip, my goal was to create a simple yet elegant space. With budget constraints, I had to get creative when ...

We SOLD Our First House Flip
Our flipping journey started in December of 2018. We had searched and searched for the perfect house to remodel for many months before finally purchasing #flipmagnolia. In all honesty, in one way, the house was not the perfect flip at all. Because this was our first time flipping a house, this particular remodel was very ...

Getting the Cement Wall Look
When you walk into #flipmagnolia, a foyer welcomes you just before you face the living room on the right. The foyer is beautiful, and the window seating area plus the staircase create a great visual impact. The living room, on the other hand, had a huge eyesore. With a closed chimney and new HVAC ductwork, ...

We are so happy with the upstairs bathroom renovation at #flipmagnolia. What was once a scary and duty looking bathroom, is now a fresh and beautiful space. Here is a peak at the before. This bathroom was gutted to the studs. Our contractor had to break many layers of cement he found under that checkered ...

Oh, the kitchen remodel, by far my most challenging project at #flipmagnolia and by far the one I am the proudest of. It's true that small houses do come with small kitchens. However, the size of this kitchen was not really the problem here. As I stood in this old kitchen absolutely in awe, I ...
