our new house :)

This fall we found this house less than a mile from where we live now. It was still in possession of the original owner. We bought it to "flip" with Blake's dad but as we started looking at the plans we decided it was the perfect house for us! I have a bunch of before and after pictures to give you an idea what all we did. We took it all the way to the studs.

 we love that it is a corner lot and all the beautiful trees

and after...we opened the kitchen up with the other living area  and an area that had been a porch that they had turned into an office

i love to be able to cook and watch the girls play

I am sure it is hard to picture everything but it was pretty extensive! Blake did an amazing job picking out most everything! He is SO good at this...I am so impressed. He definitely could do it as a career if he wanted to! He and his dad are about to start another one down the street (although we won't be moving into that one :) )

 Sorry this was so long...i just wanted to document it all!
