From Ghost House to WHOA House!

Throughout the past few months of blogging, I have shared lots of pictures of the inside of our current {foreclosure} home. We did SO much work to it, and I am so pleased with the transformations! BUT, as we are about to embark on a new journey, I realized that I have never shared any pictures of the outside of the home! Let me tell you folks…this home was in such desperation. It had been sitting vacant for a few years and was completely run down.
On a side note, since I get asked this alot, we never planned for this to be our forever home. We bought to flip and live in for a couple of years before hopefully moving to a farm with plenty of land. We have lived here 3 years, and it a wonderful home that I am very proud of!
Let me go ahead and show you some of the pictures of when we first bought the home!

Not only was it DIRTY and overgrown, it was also in need of many other improvements. The roof was in bad shape, the windows were starting to come out of the casings {see upper left window- from looking ahead in this picture}, the unit was bad, etc…Basically, it was crying out for attention!
BUT, never judge a book by its cover! You have got to be able to see past the ugly! Sure, it needed lots of work…but it was nothing we weren’t ready to take on! Take a look at how it is NOW! WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!
will be sad to leave this beautiful home, but I am so proud of all of the hard work and love that has went into it. We have made lots of amazing memories in this home, and I know that the next owner will love it as much as we have!
