🏡 7-Day Series: The Fifty Steps to Rehabbing a House 🏡 6/7
Day 6: Floors, Cabinets & Bringing the Home to Life!
We’re in the home stretch now! The walls are up, and it’s time to bring this house to life with the fun stuff—floors, cabinets, and all the little details that turn a house into a home. Let’s make this place shine!
🔹 Step 30: Flooring – The Foundation of Style
Let’s talk floors! This is where the transformation really kicks in. Whether you’re going with hardwood, tile, or vinyl, attention to detail is key.
✅ Install new flooring – Double-check that the subfloor is solid before laying anything down. No one wants creaky floors!
✅ Smooth transitions – Use transition strips where different flooring types meet for a clean, professional finish.
💡 Pro Tip: Choose flooring that fits the home’s style and the neighborhood. You don’t have to splurge on the most expensive option, but solid, stylish floors make a huge difference in value and appeal.
🔹 Step 31: Cabinets – Function Meets Style
Next up, let’s bring some character and function into the kitchen and bathrooms with fresh cabinets.
✅ Install kitchen cabinets – Keep the layout efficient and practical. A good kitchen setup sells homes!
✅ Set up bathroom vanities – They don’t have to be extravagant, but they should be sturdy and stylish.
Cabinets are a game-changer—they set the tone for these key spaces, so make sure they look great and work well!
🔹 Step 32: Interior Trim & Millwork – The Finishing Touches
Now it’s time for those small but mighty details that pull everything together:
✅ Baseboards, trim, and door casings – These little additions make a home feel polished and complete.
✅ Closet shelving – It’s a small upgrade that buyers love because storage is everything!
With these in place, the house is so close to the finish line! You can finally see the vision coming together, and soon, it’ll be time for the final magic touches.
