The Little Contractor

2017 has been a busy year. Its been a crazy season of low inventory, high demand and busy schedules. So how did I decide to make that busier and more chaotic?
Take on my first home renovation project, of course!

In early August, I bought my first "flip" (though I hate that word. Its a thoughtful renovation of a higher level of craftsmanship that someone else will be living in!)
Its a Victorian/turn-of-the-century row near park entrances, a train station and full of charm. It was partially gutted when I purchased it. Another real estate agent and her builder-husband tried renovating it a few years back and decided to give it up. Its a big project, there's no two ways of putting it.

However, the potential was screaming at me. 4 beds, 3 1/2 baths, 2000 sq ft, central air, off-street parking and a front and back yard. Minus a roof deck, its basically a city dream house.





While I am already behind, of course, I am hoping to have it on the market in early November.

Things have finally started happening over the last week-ish. Whole house plumbing, electrical and HVAC are getting wrapped up this week. So in terms of post-worthy items, we are only now coming around to some of those things.

So stay tuned! Next time I will post a bit more about the design and updates thus far.

Accessibility in Good Design

 I've been impressed lately with some of amount of accessible design features I've seen around as of late. By "accessible design", I mean home decor, renovations and design that is accessible to those with a physical impairment or disability.  First I noticed that back in March, Better Homes and Gardens did a great feature on a home designed with a wheelchaired child in mind.  Yes, it was a rancher and mid-century modern in design so it leant itself to move open-flow and clean line design. But even if this isn't your style, there were some great ideas here!  Check it out here  Then I saw Southern Living did a great home build with "adaptive design" in mind. This was a great feature because it reviewed new construction and slight changes in thinking to make just a welcoming, easy access home for all guests.  As noted in the article,  " If you’re going to be a good host, particularly from the Southern point of view, where we’re all about hospitality,

Philly Designers To Follow - Round 2!

 Two years ago I posted this list, rounding up some of my favorite local designers to follow (or hire!). Honestly, still in love with all of these designers and love seeing their businesses grow!  But I wanted to share a few more local designers to check out in 2022!  Crisco and Frisco  Via I actually just recently came across these two but am really interested in their work. A lot of its very modern and trendy but they seem to add something unexpected in all of their work and I LOVE that. Its so easy to get formulaic when your clients see something and want it, so they seem to have a fresh eye for adding uniqueness to that formula.  (I mean that tile combo!....)  Twelve Chairs Interiors The patterns! Ah! They know how to balance color and pattern with very tailored looks. Love it! I have a special place in my heart for their 1840 Greek Revival project in West Chester (PA)  Bare Root Design  Based in Bucks County, they feel very true to their location, with a key understanding of elev

House(s) of the Week: What It Buys You

This week's House of the Week is actually more than one. In fact, this week, we are looking at 15! Recently, a few people have brought up to me that the $300,000 house doesn't buy you much anymore. And hey, I can't disagree. Pull a search in Center City Philly and you don't have much to look at. The reason home buyers get so bummed about this is a lot of first-time home buyers can't afford more than $400K for a new home (in fact, most are probably cutting that number in half!) yet city living and the walkability it affords are very important to them. So the growing prices can be a let down. Walkable Fairmount So this week I looked at some of the most desirable neighborhoods in the greater Philly region and looked at what you could buy for $200,000-$400,000. I also looked at only walkable areas. So this list is comprised of affordable, generally move-in ready homes in the $200-400K range. So lets see what we found! Center City Philly Obviously Center
