What a difference a week has made in the progress at the flip! Last week I finished the first coat of paint on the kitchen after cleaning the disgusting walls for hours. Then this past week AJ brought all the cabinets up to the flip to start putting them where they belong in the kitchen and I picked out the granite that we will be using.
I’ve had a lot of people ask me “how are you doing it?! You must be Superwoman!” Nope and nope. It’s the divide and conquer method. Because AJ is a teacher he has the summer off so for most of the day he is at the flip working or at the rentals managing them. I’m always with the kids and we’ll often go over to visit him and check on progress. Sometimes we’ll bring jellybeans. My job with the flip was to design and order everything needed for the kitchen and do most of the shopping for the house. AJ’s job is to put everything together and to do the construction things we don’t want to hire out.
This weekend my parents gave us a night with no kids for our anniversary so we used it to paint the outside of the flip and then take a late dinner reservation at a restaurant we’ve been wanting to try (The Market in Gloucester, MA… definitely worth a try, Locals!).
Let me remind you about the before photo:
Let me remind you of this exact same angle a month ago:
The granite was such a great deal because the company ordered too many slabs for a big job they had and gave it to me for a steal. It’s definitely lighter than a black and when I saw it I knew it would be great for the gray toned beachy chip look I was going for. The walls will be repainted now that this granite is picked out. The template is being made on Wednesday and installed the week after!
We (mostly AJ) painted most of the exterior of the house. What beachy color would you paint the front door?
Looks fabulous#
Front door…something in the turquoise or coral family??
how about Wythe Blue by benjamin moore? It’s a soft blue green, which looks great on front doors.
Loving these posts!
I like the c9lor of the front door as is. I think the yellow door makes the house pop! It’s a good contrast with the siding color. Will you share your exterior and interior painting colors? Thank you.

I would paint it a color in the blue family, turquoise or even a cobalt blue. Great job!!!
I would paint it a teal blue or purple, but I doubt purple would then look beachy. 😉
Perhaps a blue or bright green for the door? Are your cabinets from home depot also? They are so pretty.
I’m partial to navy, nautical navy makes sense in my mind.
I would love Navy…so classy with the gray and very nautical and timeless! Perhaps an anchor for the door knocker? I love what you are doing with the home!
Where did you get the cabinets
