Fixer Upper: Country Farmhouse Goes from Scary to Sensational
Dining Room, Detail
Industrial lettering as wall art makes another appearance in the dining room. "They add dimension to any wall or any space," says Joanna. "but they also personalize the space for these families. We're always gonna have piles of letters. That's just one of the things we're known for."
Kitchen, BEFORE
Since the kitchen was already quite large, expansion wasn't necessary, but the design plan called for removing a wall to open the space onto the dining room. "Your kitchen will keep the same footprint," Joanna told the clients, "but it's going to feel twice as big when we lighten up the walls and the cabinets."
The Completed Renovation
The Jonklaases were able to negotiate a purchase price of $197,000 for the home. After renovation expenditures of around $48,000, bringing the total investment to $245,000, Chip estimates the new resale value for the home at around $305,000 -- representing an instant equity of $60,000.
