Our Make-Ready is Almost-Ready!

My Woodland Cottage Studio - ready to move in!

Oh my goodness, what a job it has been to rehab this sweet Woodland Cottage of ours! We are VERY close to being finished to the point that we can begin to move in furniture (yay!)...but what a journey it has been!

 After looking over all the rooms we determined that every single one needed repainting - and let me tell you friends, I have the piles of Behr paint swatches from Home Depot to prove it!! Because we didn't paint one nice neutral color all over the house, oh no, we painted a different color in most every room. And they are all quite yummy I must say...  As soon as I have some more decent photos of the rooms decked out in their new paint colors, I promise I will share them with you as well as the paint name and number...

And here's just a taste of the yuck we had to deal with in all of our 3 carpeted bedrooms...



Yep, that's dog poop and pee stains you're seeing everywhere...so gross...

What you can't see...are the fleas...the thousands and thousands of fleas...oh my...

But hooray and hallelujah, all the poop, pee, and pests are gone and all but one of the bedrooms have fresh beautiful laminate floors! Such a change!! The guest bedroom will have it's floor by the end of the week, and the move in will commence!!

I promise to give you a room by room tour very soon, but at the moment Mom and Dad and I have to clean out all the make ready mess in the guest room so my sweet and hard-working hubby can begin the flooring tonight...(thank You Lord for my wonderful family and all their help!)  We are oh so close...can't stop the momentum now....

More to come soon...I hope you'll stay tuned!

Our Mobile Home Makeover Featured on MHL!


I was so excited and honored to have our mobile home makeover featured on Crystal's wonderful website Mobile Home Living over the weekend! Crystal was just the sweetest thing to work with, and her passion to show the beautiful possibilities (and practical realities) of mobile home living is infectious! I wish her site had been around 3 years ago when we were undertaking our makeover - it would have been such a huge help...

I encourage you to check out her site and look through all the incredible transformations! Whether you are a mobile home owner or not, you are sure to find plenty of makeover inspiration! 

Thank Crystal for the lovely feature!
