House Makeover Part One: Ever wonder where I get my love of DIY and decorating? It’s from my mom! Like the saying goes, ‘the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree’ and I am SO SUPER excited that my mom and her husband (who is extra super handy with tools, the type of guy who can do just about everything home improvement related, by the way) are rescuing this old home. The property is BEAUTIFUL. The home? Uh…not so much in it’s current condition. I am just itching to get in there and get started! 

There’s an entire house in there somewhere! 

I’ll journal some before and after and some tutorials along the way. Love DIY? Follow along and watch the transformation, the huge project they’re about to undertake. I look around and I see POTENTIAL! I LOVE LOVE LOVE old fixer uppers! It’s going to be better than it ever was!

In an effort to get the ‘before’ pictures organized and all in one place, let’s take a tour. Today I’m sharing Part 1, the home’s exterior. Overgrown, hidden. There’s a treasure in there somewhere!

Exciting, right?! Don’t you love a good makeover story? Me too! You’re going to want to stay tuned as this home is transformed from hidden eyesore to beautiful country retreat. A labor of love, an amazing rehab. I can’t wait!
