Remember our Rehab House?

Remember the world’s ugliest house we told you we bought a few months back? Need a reminder? No worries, we’ve got ya covered!

Not sure if anyone could forget the look of that house, but a refresher never hurts! We bought this major fixer upper in a good neighborhood {we actually own another house a street over that we use as a rental home}. We bought this place with BIG plans in mind. Apparently, no one had shown this house any love in YEARS. Seriously, YEARS.

 

We have been hard at work over there and the home basically looks brand new inside and out. Everything is freshly painted, the entire house has new flooring, a new kitchen has been installed, new bathrooms, new lighting, new garage… basically we ripped down everything and started all over again. We are ready to start letting you guys peek in at our entire process soon. We figure we will start blogging once or twice a week about this fun project starting in about two weeks or so. You aren’t going to miss how far we have taken this house. In fact, almost all the neighbors have stopped us and thanked uss~ so sweet! We have turned this house into bonafide beauty! It is absolutely the cutest house on the block for sure!

So, stay tuned… we have posts about every detail lined up! From the paint colors, to the floor plan, every inch has been documented and ready for blogging! True Value even sponsored us for a few items… we can’t wait to show you!

Wanna read more about how this whole thing began? We have a full post about how we closed on this beaut!

Also- our new website will be ready soon. Like real soon. Get excited… we are! As soon as we re-launch, we will go to back our ‘normal’ blog schedule, until then we are busy getting new pages written and formatted, designing a beach condo for a new client, finishing up the last touches to our rehab house and doing a few home improvement projects in our own home!!

  • ☀️ Sea + Sun + Smiles We drove across the state last week for a vacay with family! Had a great time and I was so in the moment, I only took a few photos! We had incredible weather and basically lived our best lives all day on the beach and in the pool together! . . I have had a few messages asking where I have been on insta…. The truth is, I have been soaking up time with my kids, working on a few home updates and spending as much time at the beach and in our pool
