Salvaged; Turning this house into a Home!

Diamond in the Rough

Official Before Picture

Here she is! My "Diamond in the Rough"

This is a house a grew up loving, living next door to this house at one point in my childhood and thinking of how cute it was and how I wished it was my house!

Now here I am about 10 years later and the house is mine! The house burnt when the previous owner lived there and my parents bought it for a mere $2,000. The fire did mostly cosmetic damage and all the bones were still in tact!

This house is going to be my, my fiance, and daughter's first home, done debt free and salvaged!

No loans. No new. No mortgage aka "death sentence"!

I will be rummage, picking, diving, and antiqueing for all of the houses furnishings. Putting character and life back into this house, putting myself and my touch into the house.

Restored and Reclaimed.

For the last month and a half we have been stripping every area of the house down to the studs and blessed to be given almost enough windows to replace each broken window in the house! We have done a ton of tearing out and cleaning ourselves to save money. This old houses bones are barn wood and under the aweful soot covered carpets in all of the house we found beautiful wood floors in pine and oak that we cannot wait to reveal and bring back to life!

Upstairs wood flooring!

This houses layers have peeled off like an onion with old wallpaper, lath board, plaster, panelling everywhere! We have stripped it all. What a job but it has been SO worth it!

This is all for now...I have to go dream about my house ;)

Thanking Jesus and my parents for this oppurtunity and gift that most don't invision or recieve!
