Beautiful Blue Tile Bathroom Refresh | Before and After

In 2018, we purchased a flip house and I was determined to restore the 1950s vintage blue tile bathroom to its original glory. This image of the bathroom looks much better than it did in person. I had a photographer take before photos and they look too good!

Before and After Tour at Our First Flipped Home

I am excited to take you through a before and after tour of our first flip house! Along with being our first flip house, it was also our first home! I recently realized that I never created a good before and after post of our first flip.

Adding Value to Our Home with Landscaping Improvements

One way we added value to our first home was with landscaping improvements. This is especially valuable with smaller homes and locations where you spend a lot of time outside. Including the word โ€œlandscapingโ€ to a home listing can add 2.7 percent more to the sale price. With a $300,000 home, thatโ€™s a gain of $8,100, according to Zillow.

Organize Your Mudroom with This DIY Locker System

Today I am sharing our mudroom makeover where we built a DIY locker system that is guaranteed to keep us organized!

The mudroom in our third flip house was the first space that you saw when you walked in from the garage and it quickly became the dumping zone for all of our things. I really wanted to clean this space up and add some organization.
