The Salmon House
Why did I name it the Salmon House? Easy – the tenant had a penchant for painting EVERYTHING salmon. I’m talking the walls. The ceiling. The baseboards. The vanity. The towel bars. The toilet. YES. EVEN PART OF THE TOILET. I can’t tell if they were just a messy painter or a secret art prodigy…

Nursery Wall Treatment Reveal
It’s sophisticated, clean, and leaves just enough play for whimsical items to be introduced. Best of all, it’s something that can age well with our daughter as she grows, although who knows how long we’ll be in this house!

The Jack and Jill Bath Drama…Part 2
When we first decided to bump this bathroom renovation up the priority list, we knew it was going to be a tight budget, so we wanted to cut costs wherever we could. Reusing the existing vanity and mirror seemed like an easy way to do that. Plus who doesn’t love a good reduce, reuse, recycle…

Behind the Scenes of Our Live-In Flip: Bedrooms Edition
Work on our current flip, also known as the Salmon House, has slowed to a crawl as of late, in part due to COVID and in part because we’ve been saving up to buy our next big project (more to come on that later). In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to walk…

Our Finished Live-In Flip
What better way to close out this chapter of our lives than to highlight our latest finished renovation? We started this one back in October of 2019 and moved in in December of 2019. I shared a decent amount of the process on Instagram, but I’ve been terrible about sharing the “after” portion of this…

Filling Units, Interviewing Property Managers, and Getting Ready for a Refinance: A Weekly Update
It has been a week, huh? As we all adjust to the new normal of staying in and adapting our routines, I tried to keep a bit of normal in my schedule and work on the projects I had the supplies for (since nearly all of my time is being spent at home, of course).…
