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!!!

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...

Living Room Update (and a little spring decor)

This living room space wasn't the easiest layout to design. Its open, but not very large. It really only has one solid wall. There are so many openings, doors, stairs...  I knew going into designing this space, I was really going to have to think through the layout. And its far from done! I like to play, and move things around often, so its likely to not stay this way for too very long. We still have plans to change the stair railing, add some type of architectural pieces going up the stair wall, and I'm on the hunt for the perfect rug for the space! But as promised, I'm hear to show you our progress, not just our completion! Everything has been freshly painted in Sherwin Williams Useful Grey. And the trim is done in Extra White. Let's look back at what we started with! And this is where we are now. Before  And after. What a difference some paint and accessories can make! Its all slowly coming together!  In add...

Our Interior Paint Colors

We are officially moved into the house guys!!! Life has felt like a whirlwind the last couple of weeks!! We are trying to get back into normal routine and settle down a bit! ( is this really possible with 3 kiddos, 2 jobs, and living in a fixer upper??)   I have so many things I want to catch you guys up on, but today is all about the paint colors we chose for the interior!! So unless you have been living under a rock, then you all know Chip and Joanna Gaines. Aside from their great show on HGTV, they also have a full line of products including home decor, clothing, accessories...Well recently they partnered with Kilz and launched a paint line!! I've been anxious to try the colors and now was my perfect chance!! One awesome thing they offer are these peel and stick samples! Since its so hard to pick a color from a computer screen, you can order these samples that are about  9x11" in size and they stick to your wall.  You can really get a better effect of how...
