BEFORE

& After

The Bedford flip

HOME Co-Editor Nikki Davis and her husband are always on the lookout for their next project, so when the Bedford house presented itself on the market, Nikki jumped at the chance to drag Bob over there to check it out! Needless to say, like most homes needing TLC, it was totally cringeworthy, but the pair has a knack for vision, and their plan was to convert it from a 2 bed/1 bath to a 3 bed/1.5 bath by removing an unnecessary dining room and also at the same time bringing the laundry area up to the first floor (an additional appealing selling feature from a resale standpoint as Nikki knows as a real estate agent). The work began this last fall,

and the home was presold at the start of the year. The new homeowner was able to pick out her own interior paint colors and kitchen tile, and the home underwent a total gut from top to bottom (including new roof)! The yardwork will then be finished once the spring thaw happens!
