It’s Time To Talk About The New House

In November, we sold our first house (of 3.5 years) and moved into our forever home. We spent the entire time renovating it, room by room. We started by painting the entire place ourselves then moved onto meatier projects, like renovating our kitchen. We truly enjoyed the process of fixing up our first place, but honestly came to the end of the project.

Before and After: My Kitchen WIP

Let me start this post by saying that this renovation was a long time coming. When we first visited this home - as perspective buyers - we were instantly intrigued by this space.

The "before" photos that you are seeing was what we walked into as potential home buyers.
