You guys we have some news....

So we kinda went and did this thing!




We bought a flip house you guys!!! So crazy!

(when I try to get him to take a fun photo 😆)


Ok so let me back up a bit...

So, back in October of last year we sold our home. We had been blessed to purchase that home from my wonderful parents-in-law, about 3 years ago. We spent those couple of years working continuously to make it our own and we enjoyed every minute of it! We love projects and before/after makeovers so it was a lot of fun to see the house transform!

But we always knew that we wouldn't stay there forever, so once we completed all on our to-do list, we posted some pics of social media and mentioned selling it. Fast forward a couple of months and it had sold. We had always wanted to build our dream home, and decided now was the time.

So while renting and looking for land to build on, my dear hubby starts talking about doing another flip house..... I was still focused on building and not wanting to tackle any major makeovers...or so I thought. After living in a rental a couple of short months, it didn't take me long to get the creative itch again! I was ready to take something from ugly to pretty! Finally I agreed to "look" if he could find us a good, safe, investment property.

We contacted our realtor to see what was on the market and what would work for us. He had been telling us about Stonegate for a few months and encouraging us that it would be a great investment for us! We decided to walk through the home with an open mind. It hooked us. We could see all the potential of the place! Our minds started whirling with ideas of all the character we could add to make her really shine!!!! We decided to go for it! So fast forward through the weeks, because this whole buying process seems to drag on and on..... well today was closing day and this baby is officially ours!!!




We are very excited to get started on the transformation!! We have so much in store for this place! I plan to share with you guys every step of the way! I didn't want to load this post down too much, so I'll be back with another post of all the "before pics" of the interior, so stay tuned for that!! We are extremely excited about this adventure and thankful for the opportunity and open doors!! Now, I'm headed there because the work is actually starting this weekend!! Yay!!!

"Before" House Tour (part 1)

Hey guys! Thanks for all the sweet comments about us buying the new house! Your enthusiasm was appreciated! If you don't know how this flipper house came to be, you can click  here  to read the full story!  We were able to get some work done over the weekend and its fun to start seeing things happening! We got all the old kitchen countertops removed and ripped off all the old backsplash. Who knew that could be so therapeutic, but swinging that hammer really relieved some stress! Our painter started as well and I cant wait to get over there and see his progress! Paint can make all the difference in the world! Ok, so before I get too far ahead, I did want to show you guys the inside pictures!  I snapped quite a few and don't want to overload you all, so decided to break this up into two posts. Today I'll show you the main level and a few more of the outside! Let's get started! We definitely plan to have the outside painted, its a pretty house ...

"Before" House Tour (part 2)

Here we go guys, I'm back for part 2 of our "before" house tour! There were just too many pics to cram all into one post, so today we are covering the basement and the upstairs. If you missed part 1 of our tour, you can click  here . I won't bore you with a bunch of rambling, let's just get on with the tour! So right off the kitchen are the stairs leading down to the basement I didn't snap a picture with the stairs in it, but they are on that left wall there, right across from the playroom door. Here is what is going to be our school room/playroom. I'm super excited about finally having a designated room for our homeschooling! I am envisioning a fun color, and some built in desks for the kiddos. And then some great storage for the bazzilion toys my children own! There will also be new flooring in this room! That open door there leads to this full bathroom. This space is starting off with fresh paint, and then eventually a new va...

Easy Drop Cloth Curtains and DIY Hardware

So almost all the windows in my house are feeling like rock stars with their Plantation Shutters. You can open them up and let the light pour in, which is always my preference. Or/ if you are feeling like shutting out the world, you can do that too. I mean, the windows that have the shutters definitely have more cool points! And I am so thankful that this house already had all those cool points on MOST of the windows..... And then there's the windows in the dining room. These three girls are feeling like Plain Jane's at the party. For some reason, they were not in the line when the house was handing out shutters. So there they are, totally lacking accessories. It just wasn't fair! I decided they needed some special attention! I made a quick trip to Lowes and had everything I needed for my window makeover! Enter the Drop Cloths! These have so many more uses than just catching paint splatters! The possibilities for these babies are endless, some options being/ pill...
