House Flip - Loft Bedroom & Bathroom Reveal

So here we are on the top floor of our little flip... the last room to reveal.  It's hard to believe this little loft once had bright pink walls with light blue (very dirty) carpet.   

Here's a little peek at the before & after of the loft.  

And this is looking the other direction.  You can see from the photo below that the closet used to be on the other side.  We flipped it to accommodate the bathroom. There wasn't a washroom on this level, but we knew that this would be a big selling feature if we put one in... a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home will always sell faster & for more. The kitchen was directly below this side and made it easy to run the plumbing up the wall.   

You can also see that this is where the new closet went.  It sounds crazy but even though we took up more floor space with the addition of the bathroom/closet, the long wall running along the one side the loft actually made the space seem bigger. I'm sure the lighter walls helped too.  (I used the same colour throughout the house... Blizzard Fog by Valspar.)    I purchased these laminate floors on one of my weekly visits to our local Restore... 

these were a big savings to our budget.  

The finishes in this bathroom are similar to the kitchen and bathroom on the main floor.  In case you're wondering where the toilet is, it's to the left of the photo above, and tucked under the slanting roof line.  I took hundreds of photos and for some reason don't have one of the toilet in this bathroom.  You can see we used slate coloured tiles on the floor in a brick pattern, and subway & hex tiles in  the shower.... all from Home Depot.  Most of the accessories are from HomeSense and the lights throughout the house are from Lowes.

(All photos are mine taken with my iPhone.)

Construction & cabinet making on this home were all done by MVH Custom Carpentry.


So that's it for our little flip photos.  
If you are thinking of investing in real estate, the Kitchener, ON area is still very good and much cheaper than the GTA... at least right now. Things may change when the high speed train goes in!
