BIG NEWS!!!


GOOD NEWS!!!

After 6 long months....
WE FINALLY SOLD OUR HOME!!!
Today we accepted an offer on our home.
We still have a few steps to get through before it is all finalized.
{Home Inspection & Appraisal}
Crossing our fingers.....that all goes well!!!

It has been a while since I last posted.
Sorry for my absence.
We have just been really busy!
Lots of showings on our house (thank goodness).

For those of you who have been reading our story, you may recall
several months ago when we started the whole process of putting our home on the market.
Read about the week that started it all here.
Lots of updates, tons of DIY, paint, paint & more paint, curb appeal & staging.

Travis & I can not wait to start the next chapter of our lives!
If you are new here, my husband & I are moving back to
the charming small town where we both grew up in LeClaire, Iowa.
We have a great deal in store for the coming year!


Here is a peak at the next chapter of our lives!



We will be taking this little diamond in the rough from drab to fab!
This little beauty will be completely gutted from the inside out.
It will no doubt be one of the biggest challenges we have ever done!
But we are sooo up for the challenge.
Travis is a contractor so this is right up his alley
 & I get to live out one of my biggest dreams to help design my own home!
WIN!  WIN!

We will not be living in the home during the remodel.
My Mother has graciously offered up her home to be our crash pad.
Thanks Mom!

So, I hope you will join us on our journey!
We are so excited to share it with you!

  1. That is great news! So happy for you, all your hard work has paid off and now it's on to the next project! Will be fun to see what you do with the diamond in the rough. If you are going to be busy moving, I found it so helpful to have guest bloggers take over so I could focus on moving and my blog had some fun stuff while I was away. Good luck with the inspection & appraisal!
