When it comes to outside landscape and decor, I get EXTREMELY overwhelmed. Like not just a little bit but A LOT a bit. I never know what to choose, or how to pair different plants; what needs sun and what needs shade, how much water to give and how do you know when it’s time to “feed” them again. You see what I’m saying? It’s just A LOT to think about and often times just the thought of it can deter you from it all together.

A couple weeks ago I shared our Living Room Makeover [HERE] and in that I shared one of my simpliest, cheapest, and easiest DIY creations yet…the DIY Hoop Wreath. Over the last year these wreaths have become the trendiest form of minimalist decor on the market.

You know when you’ve been staring at the same thing for so long that after a while you just need to change it up for it to not look so…THE SAME anymore!? Well, that is exactly what happened to me with our living room; after a deep cleaning day GONE WRONG, I decided it was time for a change.

This has been a long time coming it seems! But it's finally here! Our 2nd (technically 3rd) flip house is done and ready to meet one very lucky owner! Check out all the before pictures [HERE]. This home is located in the center of Champaign right across the street from a recreation center, park, water park and petting zoo. Not to mention it's in walking distance to many of the local schools! 

I've been keeping this a secret for a while and I don't even know why! Probably because it all happened so fast and I honestly with projects still going on at my own home this just completely threw me (hence why you haven't see our bathroom remodel yet)! 

2017 has been a year for the books, I am amazed at all that transpired in such a short amount of time. But what I’m most amazed by is our total kitchen renovation.

Take a peak at what my kids call "the white room." I hope you love it as much as we do! 

Bear with me friends as I know this is NOT my usual Sunday routine! I just could not get a video out in time this week for the life of me. My excuse? Well I have many :) But I'll stick with the basic..."trying to get my head on straight" one for now. Instead I thought I'd take you through our wild, wonderful, and perfectly in process home since I've only ever shown it on Facebook live!

I realized today, as I was cleaning, packing, and preparing for our upcoming moving sale (see all the details HERE) that I NEVER updated everyone on the status of our flip house. Which I feel awful about since, well...A LOT has happened in a short period of time. I just haven't been able to keep up with it all! 

We are officially DONE with the flip house! I think I can hear screams across America at this very moment! After 9 strenuous, exhausting, overwhelming, and exciting weeks we have successfully renovated our very first investment property.

We never could have imagined selling our home within 12 hours of listing it and we feel it only confirms our decision to move! 

Yay!! We're making progress at our flip house! I've had a lot of people ask about how everything is going and what our projected timeline is so I'm here to show off a few pictures and answer all the questions I have gotten so far!
