Well, we bought a house. Yes, we are still building a house on our farm (to see all about that, go to THIS POST), but you know me and my hubby- we can’t leave well enough alone. We LOVE a good fixer upper, and BOY DID WE BUY ONE! (We will NOT be living in this one) This will make our 7th fixer upper flip house since we have been married, and we really enjoy doing it! The transformations are just so much fun- but also a ton of WORK. Don’t ever think for a second that things like this come easily, because trust me- they don’t. This house that we bought this time is by far the roughest and most needy house we have ever bought. You may gasp when you see these before pictures. We just bought it a few days ago, so we are in the process of lining everything out that we are doing to it. Basically, we are completely gutting it from top to bottom. EVERYTHING will be from scratch. I can’t wait to share our journey along the way! It will certainly be an adventure that I can’t wait to take you along on!
Right now, this is a 3 bedroom and 1 bath house. We will be adding a 2nd bath.
Here are just a FEW of the BEFORE pictures! (I am sorry some of these are so dark. There is no power right now, and I was scared I wouldn’t get there before demo to get more pictures if I didn’t snap them now!)

You may be asking what we saw in this home! Well, here are the main components that we liked- and why we bought it!
Price was right.
Location was great.
Layout of home was very good and spacious.
It has 3 bedrooms, and they are all a good size.
It has the space to make a 2nd bathroom.
We love a challenge, and this is certainly a fun challenge.
So, what do you think?!?! I told you it was rough!! I wasn’t kidding. It needs sooooo much work, but man…the end result will be so worth it. We have so many ideas and plans for this place. The layout is good- and we will be adding a 2nd bathroom and changing everything- literally. It is going to be amazing! Are you excited to join us on this journey?!?! Buckle your seatbelt because this is liable to be a wild ride.
I’ll keep ya updated 🙂 In fact, if you aren’t following along by E-mail in order to get the most recent blog posts as they go live, I suggest doing that!

I’d love to flip a house! It’ll be so interesting to see the process 🙂
Yikes!! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Wow! Very exciting! Can’t wait to see what you do with the place.
I’ll enjoy watching this redo unfold. Good luck!
Being in Real Estate I can tell you location is key! Driving by this house it already had curb appeal so I can’t wait to see what you do to the interior.
These older homes have souls. So glad to know you have seen passed the appearance and looked at the soul. Cannot wait to see how y’all restore the beauty!
I wish you so much good luck and success. I would never have the nerve for this task.
I can’t wait to see the end result! We want to see the ‘little by little’ too!
It’s a cute house with great potential. Can’t wait to see the renovation unfold.
A year and a half ago we bought a fixer upper that looked similar to yours. My favorite easy fix was to paint the wood paneling on the walls. I was skeptical at first, but I really like it. Your house looks like it has a lot of promise!
We’re in the process of buying – and the reasons are basically the same as your’s. Not even sure we
re going to get it as the lawyers are at it at the moment… sigh… some covenants… Part of the house is probably 100 years old, so I’d REALLY like to buy it and restore it!! Will be following your journey!! 🙂
Wow! I love it! I can see the potential and why you bought it. Can’t wait to see the updates.
