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!!

  • Shout out for National Pet Day to Finley who came at the perfect time to bring our family joy! After losing our beloved Bentley, I really thought I wouldn’t want another dog for awhile. Just about a month later last fall, this precious Mini Goldendoodle captured my heart from @d_shalom_goldendoodles! To say we are in love with him would be an understatement! He is super sweet, smart and just the best! Love his little heart shaped nose! #nationalpetday #minigoldendoodle #goldendoodle Dog bed from @tjmaxx . . . #lakewoodranch #bestdog #beatdogever #furbabies #dogbed #bohodog #sarasota #dogsofinstagram

  • Miss Lilah Chapel danced beautifully in her very first dance recital! I enjoyed every second and might have shed a few tears! She stepped out on stage and starting waving at me, pointing telling everyone I was her mommy and saying hi! The music came on and I was watching this beautiful girl I had prayed and dreamt about twirl around. I was instantly overcome with emotion and gratitude! God surely is so good! . . . #lakewoodranch #woodlandfineartsacademy #dancerecital #ballerina #ballerinasofinstagram #sweetgirl #danceforjesus #dancingforjesus
