For those of you that personally know us, you know what kind of house we purchased. 👀
We bought a bit of a fixer upper. Great bones, solid foundation, but very outdated and honestly… pretty poorly taken care of.
Somehow, Matt always trusts my vision with these things, because this place was ROUGH. 😂
Our old house was your typical cookie cutter neighborhood house. Mass produced, no character at all. But over time, I made it feel like us. Added character, warmth, personality… and turned it into a home we genuinely loved.
That was until we no longer felt safe in our neighborhood.
So we started looking for land. Our own little private oasis. And we found exactly that… just with a house that desperately needed some love.
Since then, month after month, we’ve been tackling projects little by little to update our home.
Some projects are still unfinished.
Some are still in progress.
But so many have already completely changed the way our home feels.
And we’ve done all of it ourselves.
We’ve laid tile, hung sheetrock, repaired metal roofing, taken down walls and completely reworked layouts. I’ve learned venetian-style texture techniques with sheetrock mud, limewashing, plumbing… honestly a little bit of everything at this point. 😂
So when we say we KNOW what these projects take… we really do.
The materials.
The labor.
The process.
The vision — or sometimes the lack of it in the beginning. 😅
The cost of running a business fairly and doing things the right way.
We get it because we live it too.
So now I’m thinking maybe it’s time we start sharing more of the projects we’ve tackled around our own home. 👀
Who wants to see some before and afters?
