Do you call if a flip if it's already yours?

Today we meet contractors to begin the renovation on a home we own in Wylie. It is located in a fabulous neighborhood, has a wonderful floor plan, BUT (and you knew it was coming)....has the original countertops and WALLPAPER from the early 80's.
So today, we are selecting new countertops, we will do some of the work ourselves and outsource the rest.
It's so difficult in selecting something "generic". To pick out everything - the first consideration is the average buyer. I'm thinking that could be anyone from 30 - 70, which most likely bear much different taste.
So wish me well. I'm putting on generic clothes, wearing generic shoes and trying to "assume" the role.
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining! It's exciting to feel like a "flipper" - always thought we would be good at it. But are you truly a flipper if it's already yours?
