Before Photos

These photos provide some insight as to what the house looked like when we first bought it, however, they were taken by a real estate agent so they make it look like the house was in a lot better condition that it actually was.

This is the original house plan. We haven't changed anything structural in the house, just removed the abnormal kitchen island structure, which you will see in the photos below.

Our House

We bought a house!

It's old and run down with concrete floors, an unusable kitchen, outdated bathroom, looks like a construction site and just about everything needs A LOT of work! But we love it! It is light and spacious and feels like home. Beautiful large windows throughout and mostly open plan design. We bought in September 2013 and since then have renovated nearly the entire house with absolutely no renovating experience! I've started this blog as we really struggled with finding useful DIY tips and renovation how-to's going for people who have never been through the process. I hope to provide some valuable ideas and share the experience with others about to start on an amazing house transformation!

Enjoy!
