tile – Hewbrick Happenings

First Property…Sold!

We have been all over the place, this week! Our priority has been on our Gastonia property. We were able to wholesale ‘Gastonia’ and have been working with the buyer, seller, and closing attorneies to complete this deal. We put people first with our business. The good news about this story is with the sale of their home, the original owners were able to purchase a car and move back across the country to be closer with family.

We have been visiting a lot of potential properties from North Wilkesboro down to Rock Hill. This has kept us away from Old Savannah, for the most part. Good news is, we have a awesome contractor with this project. Kevin (Cunningham Contractors) has helped keep things moving while we have been away. And when I say moving…look at how amazing this shower is turning out!!

This weekend we are hoping to do a little landscaping at Old Savannah. She has no shrubs and a green yard, so we have a blank canvas to spruce up. Stay tuned

Next week, we close on our property in Rockwell, NC. We have affectionately named her Martha Jane (based on her street address). Can’t wait to feature this property on our upcoming blog

Do You See What I See??

We told you last week would be busy at Old Savannah, and it was! We are giddy with excitement, regarding the progress last week and what is to come this week. The realtor’ sign will be in the yard before we know it!!!

As you see, our new kitchen cabinets, from Home Depot, have been installed. We also have put a fresh coat of paint on the walls. We are so pleased at how bright this room is with the paint and white cabinets. Very updated, but not modern.

Remember when the kitchen looked like this???

The bathroom tile in the hall bath has been laid. It wasn’t one of the original styles we looked at originally (and showed you on our previous blog). That is something great about this project is making quick changes and seeing how well they turn out! We decided to go with a 10″x14″ careera for our floor tile. Completely freshens up this bath!!! Below is a reminder of the old bath.

Finally, the floor tile has gone down in the master bath! I want this in my own-could not be more pleased!!! The master bath was gutted by the previous homeowner & when we purchased, it was still down to the studs. We reconfigured the space & replaced the tub with an oversized shower. We have installed the inlayment & waterproofing in the shower. Now we waitfor the inspectors to give us the green flag, so we can begin laying tile in the shower. It is going to look amazing!

Below is a quick peek at those gorgeous 2×2 octagonal tile floors (and the shower)!!

We will continue to paint & lay tile, this week. We also hope to get the bath vanities in.

Stay tuned for an update on our Gastonia property as well as an introduction to our latest property, Martha Jane.

Another Crazy Week!

Things have been hopping around Hewbrick! This is probably why we have been a bit neglectful with our blog (sorry). We have made 4 offers on properties, this week, not to mention making great strides at Old Savannah.

We don’t restrict ourselves to Mecklenburg county…we have put offers on properties in Cleveland and Rowan counties this week. Part of our philosophy is to treat all homes the same, no matter the condition or price. We meet with every homeowner within 24 hours and present to them an offer in person. We hope to update you on our new projects in the upcoming weeks!

Now back to Old Savannah-our ‘first child’. Walls are up! I mean, we have taken walls down, but now have put walls up. Back up, in the bathrooms. If you remembered, we fully gutted the bathrooms to the studs. We have removed all of the fixtures (tubs, toilets, vanities) and started fresh. When we purchased Old Savannah, the homeowner was in the process of renovating the master bath, so much of the initial demo was complete. The tile was removed, the Sheetrock was down, and a new tub was installed. We had a different idea for the space and removed the tub to make space for an oversized shower. This allowed space for additional storage.

Here are before pictures of the master bath:

And after:

In the hall bathroom, we removed everything and were able to reuse the new tub, from the master. Below are before and after a (won’t miss that wallpaper!!!):

After…excuse the dim light, we removed all of the fixtures during the demo & have not replaced.

So, we call this progress!

Next week will be crazy-paint will be going up on the walls, kitchen cabinets will be installed, and tile will be laid. Buckle up, we will be micing at lightening speed as we get Old Savannah ready to go on the market!!!

TGIF!

We have had a busy week at Old Savannah, things are starting to really move along. The Sheetrock is hung, the bathroom tiles have been selected, and exterior paint should be going up this weekend.

Cunningham Contractors started this week. Their focus was to hang all of the Sheetrock in the family room and kitchen, to make it one cohesive space. The best part about the Sheetrock going up was the amount of light it brought into the back of the house! See before & after

Below is our Sheetrock Magician, Kevin Cunningham, from Cunningham Contractors.

We took a trip to the Home Depot to scope out bathroom tile ideas. We did a poll on Facebook & Instagram to help decide on the best combination. What do you think?

What’s your vote??! We will give you the weekend to think about it!! 😉

Have a great weekend & stay cool!
