The transformation of a neglected, out-of-date house to a loving, contemporary home.

Yard Sale Success
Our yard sale was a success with roughly $60 profit. We then did a curb alert on Craig's List and got rid of some of the bigger items that would have headed to the dumpster instead. Hooray for other people being able to use them!
Grab your paint brush, hammer, and gardening gloves, and join Josh & Kelly as they transform their newly-purchased, neglected, and out-of-date house into a newly-remodeled, loving, and contemporary home where they can live comfortably with their 10 month old daughter, Madilyn and cat, Izzy. Be prepared for laughs, challenges, and mistakes as they take on this seemingly overwhelming task!

I love de-cluttering and getting rid of junk! It's addictive.
