Welcome to our Home! It feels much more like home now than 5 years ago when we purchased it! I was not in love (more like the opposite of in love) with it when we bought it but it had the square footage we desired and it was a good deal.
I knew it would take a lot of work to get our home how I wanted and I knew I would be flying solo as my wonderful husband has not an ounce of DIY spirit in him (not even a fraction of an ounce).
I also knew I would need to be creative because our budget for extra spending was near zilch. Anyways, it’s been a lot of work but I am so happy with the progress that’s been made. Let me know if you have any questions!
