Our First Home Renovation & Transformation

Back in the Fall of 2019 we made a rather large purchase, and with it came a ton of potential! I am so excited to finally share a bit of what we have been up to with our first ever renovation and real estate endeavor, and what we hope to be one of many!

We bought our property with a small in-law suite, which was solid and had great bones — just a little lacking in the “pretty” department.  Queue a woman’s perspective, some talented contractors, one attentive husband and what feels like a few million bucks invested into The Home Depot and you have the final product:

 

Here are some BEFORE photos — the bathroom vanity had already been removed for some plumbing that needed work, but I think you can still appreciate the difference!

 

This whole process has been a great learning experience for both of us. Jeff and I learned that we make a pretty great team and share a similar vision. He trusts my design ideas and I trust him to make those thoughts a reality!  We are still working on our own home a little bit at a time and are amazed at how different it looks from the day we bought it. Patience has been integral throughout this development, and time and money management have also helped us to really keep on a timeline and within a certain budget.  What looked a little scary and made us feel like just maybe we were in over our heads has helped us grow and become a stronger team to tackle our next project!

I hope you enjoyed seeing this transformation and look forward to sharing more in the future!
