WMH:

Thanks.

The backsplash & tub surround is the 1/4" PVC beadboard you recommended a while back --68.229.xxx.xxx

I like it a lot,do you usually stage houses? i never have staged a house.Do you think the staging makes it sell faster or for more money? --72.231.xxx.xxx

Ken-

I used to just do a little in the kitchen & bath.

Then I put up the air mattress (on buckets) to show how well even a queen-size bed can fit. Hard to judge the size of the bedroom otherwise.

Now, my current agent helps me (done it twice) with some Living room stuff - because I don't have any, & it's too big to store anyway.

It looks good in photos, and really does help people see the size of the space. It's what "everyone" does now, so naked rooms would look odd.

So, yes I think (hope) it does. --68.229.xxx.xxx

Looks great! Never thought of using beadboard for a backsplash...interesting. And I like the red front door!

What shade/brand of gray paint is that DJ? --72.188.xxx.xxx

I see that now. On my cell it looked like an exotic cork, lol

I guess when the new owner is ready for floors they have a nice level surface to start with. --24.194.xxx.xxx

I like how you used the left over space in the cabinet to fit the trash can. The raised pedestal gives it a finished look. I may have to steal that idea on my next one. --209.16.xx.xxx

J: SW's Repose grey color, but in Glidden Premium paint.

small: LOL! "When they are ready for floors"

That is not the subfloor.

I think it looks cool/trendy. We'll see what buyers think.

Originally, I was going to keep it as a rental, and it would be great for that.

Mike: I hate to waste space using fillers, especially in a small space. In my own house, I have narrow storage shelves - like to those by the range - and they are perfect for cookies sheets, muffin tins, cooling racks.

I framed the one under the trash with 2x4 between the cabinets, fully expecting people to use it as a step, and kick it a lot. That also made it the same height as the toe kick. --68.229.xxx.xxx

I like the tax rate!!! A house here going for 70-80K garners about 2K in annual taxes and that is low for NYS. --174.208.xx.xx

Here's our first: (got zotted out of individual post)

Before:

go to Redfin 92 Broad St. Lyons NY

Here is what it looks like now (aka late 2020) photos only show the downstairs apt. (3 bdrm) I have photos of the other 2 bdrms but didn't post. Both up and down are currently rented

Go to zillow and put in "for rent" search; 92 Broad St Lyons NY

the photos don't show it but I painted the stair case to the upstairs apt. white spindles/risers with grey railing and steps --174.208.xx.xx

Cool -- the paint color looks nice.

I like that the walls and floors are different colors. I've seen some house where they use gray plank on floors and gray paint on walls. Too much gray for me. --72.188.xxx.xxx

Very nice - Please a little more detail on OSB Flooring -size - is it TG - How did you attach it - did you do the oil-poly or you had a floor guy do it - cost per sq for the flooring.

Thanks --184.20.xxx.xx
