Some of the before... Pictures lie...

Here are some of the pictures when I first stepped foot into the house... haven't been in here in YEARS... there was still things left from the tenants... gross!

These pictures are deceiving as there are broken things, walls, and floors, and busted wood, stains, glass, trash, mold, and so much more!!


















The objective

Hey Everyone!

Thanks for following me on this new blog!!!

I have the exciting opportunity of moving back into the house I was raised in only, there is a twist.

Thanks to multiple tenants, many of which did NOT take care of it, the house needs some TLC. As a means of helping both my family and the house, I am moving in both to move out and be on my own, but also to fix it for them, and as a learning project.

I have never done construction. I have never tiled a floor. I have never busted out walls. There is a lot I have never done. I am going to learn!

This blog will hopefully serve as a sign of hope, showing that hope is not lost, but it is restored with time and with people, resources, and knowledge. I knew going into this I would learn a lot, and already have run into things I did not plan to.

I hope you follow and watch the transformation of one persons wreckage into another persons refuge.

There will be inspiration posts, reference posts, business and references highlights, and buy lists. Where I buy things for the house :)

Stay posted for videos, thoughts, lessons learned, decorating ideas, photos, and more! I hope you will enjoy this.

Note to self: Spackling can really be fun!
