Condo before and after
TL;DR – Here’s a link to our Airbnb.
Our family bought a condo in Birmingham recently. We worked with a contractor and spent a couple months renovating it. I wanted to share before and after pictures. We bought it for $43k, and spent probably that same amount or a little more on renovating it.
I personally learned a LOT in such a short time. We already have a plan together for our next project so we can do a lot less re-work and not have as much stress. The main difference between then and now is we generally know what all to think about from beginning to end, how to do some of that work upfront (think something small like moving an electrical outlet to be behind the TV while you are gutting the rest of the place), or what all can be done concurrently. I will not be talking about what work went into all of this, that is a lengthy post of its own. But you can ask, and I’ll tell you about it.
On the top will be the before picture I took with my cell phone when we bought the condo. On the bottom will be the professional pictures taken by a photographer when we were done. I am not a professional photographer, so please forgive me.
