Our home is a very kid friendly home because we have three young boys. I love distressed furniture, creative storage solutions, and pretty, but resale-friendly colors. Links under the photos will bring you to the relevant projects.
This tour will be divided into two sections: One for our old home, the 2012 New Build, and the other for our latest home which was built in 1994 and located on 8.5 acres.
2012 New Build Home Upgrades
We bought this home as a new build home in 2012. We have added a fence, a deck, built-in entertainment center and bookshelves, curtains, repainted many of the rooms, finished one of the basement rooms, and many other additional changes. I try to document all of my favorite projects so I hope you enjoy checking them out!
