The completed home when we put it up for sale last November
My parents, Jarom, and I purchased our first flip house last July. We completely renovated it and finished it at the beginning of November. Well we missed the prime time to sell, so it sat on the market until April, and then we finally got a contract and closed May 2nd! We learned a LOT and it ended up to be a good overall experience. (I say that, but I wasn't the one doing the hard labor in the 105 degree weather, I was big pregnant!) So here are a few pictures of before.
This was the kitchen, it was a wreck! 
We tore down this whole wall in the kitchen because it closed in the real den area
This is the den in all of its wood paneling glory
This is the dining room looking into the living room... check out that green carpet.
Check out the pepto bismal pink EVERYTHING! Trim, doors, walls....eek!
Isn't that nice in the master bath??? There was a window from the master bath to the hall bath... we got rid of it
And thanks mainly to my fabulous Mother who worked herself silly over there, Dad, Jarom, and one heck of a handy man here are the after pictures...
Notice the hardwood and NO wood paneling!!!
We had custom maple cabinets put in and Jarom hooked us up with the stainless appliances. We also added recessed lighting, notice the missing wall and the peninsula we replaced it with.
After many hours of trying to remove the old wallpaper, we decided to choose a new wallpaper instead of painting it for the ump-teenth time.
This hall bath had carpet with blood on it, nasty wallpaper, pepto bismal cabinets, and had that little window looking into the shower area, look how pretty now!
The master bedroom sans pink...
Master bath after it was completely gutted and redone... notice Jarom's tile work on the shower and floor.
Isn't the kitchen to die for??!
We didn't skimp on anything with the house and did the renovation just as we would have if we were going to live in the home. I think the new owners will love it! I should have taken some pictures before we sold it of the outside once all the grass grew in and to show the bushes Dad and Scott planted. It turned out to be a gorgeous home!
We have signed a contract to buy our next flip house! We close June 13th. Luckily the house is right next door to mine, so we won't have to travel 30 minutes like this last house just to get there! It won't need nearly the work this one required, so we should have it back on the market within a week. Wish us luck!

We will have to call on you guys to teach us some stuff! If you need help with the next house, call Jared!! I'm sure he would love to help so he can start learning how to do everything!
