Flip House Update: One More Week To Go!

Flip House Update: One More Week To Go!

July 10, 2017

It's been a while since I've done a good update here on our flip house, we've had A TON going on here, including a massive announcement that we should be making this week..but that's neither here nor there. If you didn't see the before pictures of our 1920's two story beauty you can check them out HERE!

We have had a lot of questions and comments about our latest investment property and I'm happy to finally be answering all of them here. We have had a few bumps in the road but are happy to announce that we should be done with this house in a WEEK!!! Yes, you heard that right! ONE week! Guy and I have been working our butts off this past weekend to ensure that everything is ready to go for countertops, backsplash, and floor stain this week.

Here are some of the questions we've gotten a lot of:

"Will you guys be moving to this property once you are done fixing it up?"

No, we won't be. We actually bought this property with the sole intent to flip it and sell it. We have fallen in love with it and the area that it's in but we still have no intentions of living there. 

"Will this be your last flip house or are you wanting to do more?"

We definitely are ready for a much needed break, but this will by no means be our last flip. We are excited to continue growing and learning and will absolutely be continuing to do this in the future.

"Are you doing the work yourself?"

No!! We went into this wanting to do as minimal work as possible. That hasn't exactly happened the way we planned and we have jumped in to do more projects than we originally anticipated but we did hire a contractor to carry a large amount of the work load!

"What is your time line?"

This was supposed to be a 6-7 week project, but realistically it will end up being a 9-10 week project. So we hope to be done with all construction this week and have it listed by the end of next week. 

These last two months have been extremely stretching and while I've felt like I've been running a marathon, I am incredibly humbled by all that we've learned through this experience. 

The pictures you are about to see are ones that I took this weekend but it's honestly so hard to stay up to date on all that's happening when things are changing daily. I wanted to give you a sneak peak of all the rooms (besides the bedrooms) just so you can get a taste of everything that's been done. The final reveal will be much prettier!

Workout 3 is live! Sharing my favorite at home arm workout! LINK in BIO! This completes my 3 part series, let me  know what other fitness type blogs you’d like to see in the future! So this is what my bath time has turned into...I don’t even care about it! I’ll take one child in my bath if that means the other two are playing quietly together! 🙌🏼 #perspective Working with this man is such an incredible dream; I read in my devotional this morning that in our life we will enter into covenant relationships (not just marriage; friendships, co-workers, business partnerships, etc) and our dreams will often come through those relationships. Because when we are connected to another person in that way, what’s available to them, now becomes available to YOU. And now instead of just one person carrying this dream, the dream is being carried together, allowing the weight to be distributed. Isn’t that so beautiful!? I read that and was so inspired to have the opportunity to be in such a beautiful partnership with this man and dream alongside him everyday. Do you feel like you’re in a covenant relationship with someone that has sparked a new dream in you? When any sort of competition is happening around here you better believe I’ve got my game face on. Oh the perks of having two D1 athletes as parents...our kids don’t stand a chance 😩 God help us all! Raise your hand if you love a good “basic outfit” 🙋🏻‍♀️ sharing one of my go to outfits and favorite denim over on the blog 👉🏼 LINK IN BIO. If you’re a bargain shopper and need some “realistic” mom fashion this is for you! “Sisters, sisters...there were never such devoted sisters” ❤️ these girls have my whole heart. Wanting to jump on here and do a quick introduction (even tho it’s not technically #fridayintroductions). I see so many new faces on here daily I wanted to take a moment to share 5 incredibly vulnerable facts about me so you can maybe feel free to do the same!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. When I was little I can remember that I wanted to be (in this order) an artist, author, veterinarian (I secretly love animals and birds), clothes designer, and teacher. It’s strange cuz I can see pieces of my life still centered around those professions. 
2. I’ve always been a rather confident person but never realized how truly insecure I was until I started having kids. 
3. And crazy thing is...3 kids down and I feel more beautiful than I’ve felt in my entire life. Motherhood has given me such a distinct sense of purpose, inspiration, and direction. 
4. If you’re into personality tests, I recently took the enneagram test and am a type 3w4...my husband is a 3w2. It weirdly describes our dynamic to a “t.” 😱
5. It’s my dream to do interior design/flip homes half the year and have a home somewhere warm where we’d stay the second half of the year. 🌞
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s a little bit about me! Tell me something that feels rather vulnerable
about yourself. I promise it will feel so freeing! HOLY swimsuit season am I right?! I finally found a one piece I feel sexy in and I couldn’t wait to share it with you! I’ve been busting my butt to tone up before our big trip to Mexico (check out my last post for my favorite at home workout routines) and this suit makes it all worth it! Shop the suit and the rest of this summer ready outfit here 👉🏼 http://liketk.it/2vjwS #liketkit @liketoknow.it  P.S I sized up! Workout 2 is live on the blog...CARDIO BOOST! Link In Bio! If you missed it I am doing a 3 part fitness series featuring some of my favorite at home  workout routines. Video included! Go check it out! This is what our @target bathroom party looks like 💦 and Eliza always doing something weird like trying to “eat” the hot air 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
