A Peek Inside Fixer Upper No. 3

RMP Journal Header Image 2.png

Let me tell ya, fixer upper no. 3 is one for the books! To be totally honest, we found this house in an estate sale and our original plan was to fix it up and sell right away. It wasn’t but a week or so into renovations that I told Ryan, “I love this house. We have to move here.” And that’s just what we did! It made for three fixer uppers in three years of marriage - talk about refining, ya?!

This was for sure our biggest, messiest project to date and though it’s officially “complete” we are still always and forever finding little home projects to make it more and more homey along the way!

Keep on aaaa scrollin’ to see the renovation details, including where we got products and lessons learned along the way! And of course, always remember you can Shop Our Home if you see something you love!
