Trolley House Flip Living Room Makeover

Happy New Year’s Friends!

I really wanted to share all the highlights of the year with you on today’s blog post, but I simply didn’t make the time to get that done last week. After the last couple of months, pushing to finish up our first ever house flip while also keeping the normal work flow up, we are the more exhausted than we’ve ever been! We all needed a week to rest, do house project that have been neglected (who needs to clean out their summer clothes anyway), and pray over/plan out the next year. We are so thankful for the rest, and hope to share some of the highlights of 2023 in the weeks to come!

We closed on the trolley house the week before Christmas, and we are so excited for the new home owner to spend the holidays in this little slice of history that we poured so much of ourselves into!

For this week’s makeover, I thought it would be fun to share the living room makeover!

Here’s the living room when we started:

See those tiny steps? Those aren’t up to new building code so we had to work with the building department to let us keep them. When I came to look at the house, those little steps were what my eyes were drawn to on the inside. I loved them! The other thing that wasn’t to new code was the windows. They came too close to the floor so we did have to replace them all. I was sad about that because they were in good shape and beautiful, but the new windows were much more energy efficient so it was an ok trade off!

We were also able to keep the flooring. We refinished it, and it was painted over so that was no easy task. See those bowling pins and that hutch base? We used both to decorate in the house. The hutch is on the main page of our website right now!

I’ll have product lists for what you can order for yourself in this space after the photos below so be sure to scroll down for that!
