    amazing what changing the colors on the walls and kitchen cabinets can do. It looks totally updated in the kitchen, even though you kept those original counters and cabinets, the flooring changes and the bathroom changes really update it. 🎉🎉🎉The before while it was kind of retro and dated, reflected what seems to be a loving family, living comfortably in their home. A very peaceful and serene environment.❤❤❤❤❤

    I bought 31 acres with a 1972 mobile home on it. It was a total gut job. The place has been insulated with Rockwool, vapor barrier and drywall, walls and ceilings. No more florets! We're finishing the kitchen and bathroom now. Hickory cabinets in the kitchen and a Palisade tile system shower. Almost done!

    Amazing changes! One thing I would have done is extended the pantry to the left. I’d have taken it over to the wall to the right of the fridge. That little awkward space between the fridge wall and the pantry wall would have been eliminated and it would provide so much more enclosed storage. Another thing you may consider in your next flip, keeping with the lvp throughout the home will make the space appear larger and more open. It also avoids the need for those metal transition strips and gives a cleaner finished look.

    Looks great! but NO way
    would I have kept that carpet, its really gross. I would have run the
    vinyl/fakewood through the whole place and you could have even kept the tile in the hallway if you are trying to keep it cheap, but NOT the carpet. Carpet in general is gross because of all the dirt it collects, and old carpet with someone elses dirt in it is the worst. 🤭
    Not trying to be rude, just an honest opinion.😬😀
    One last thing is I like gray, but depending on whomoves in they may have more brown tone furniture, and if you go too dark with the gray paint it might not work with every ones taste. Lighter grays work best with every ones style. One last thing is when you go so dark with the gray and the contrast of the white beans in my opinion can date the look of the place. I like more neutral and lighter grays, but once again it's just my opinion.

      @@chrisholiday775 thanks for the input, seems like you did a thorough job watching the video, much appreciated, yeah the hallway has paneling over the top of drywall, the home is factory drywall, it is meant to be low income housing just so you know, but I like to take a little pride and make it somewhere that I would live myself, maybe I could have taped and texted the drywall but I chose not to due to limited time. Thanks for the visit.😀
