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 ...

New Front Door

Hey Guys!!   First off, I just wanted to thank you all for your interest in what we are doing over here in this fixer upper of ours! I kinda got a wake up call last week, when I was asked on MANY occasions about how things at the house were coming along. As well as being asked when I was going to post more! I realized that people are reading and keeping up more than I expected! So the fact that you guys care is awesome!! I promise to strive to be more consistent with posting here on the blog. Sometimes life gets sooooo full and schedules are so busy, and I have put this on the back burner. But its something I love and get excited about, and the fact that you are all following along makes me even more excited! Another thing I've had to tell myself is, that I can't wait till things are "completed" to do an update! When I look around here, I feel that sooooo much is left to be done, and no single room feels completely finished yet. But that's ok! We are living in th...

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...
