In reply to Julie Terry. Aw thank you so much Julie! The home was a foreclosure. We found out about it before it hit the market from my husband's cousin who lives next door. We did have to clean out everything that was left behind. From the attic down to the basement was full! It took a 40 yard dumpster, 35 construction bags, and too many trips to count to the dump and Goodwill to get rid of it all. It has been a lot of work and we're still renovating little by little. It's been very rewarding though and we're happy we made the jump!

I just found your blog and so amazed at the before and after pictures. Did you have to clean out all the mess the previous owners left? Was it a foreclosure? You are brave to undertake such a major project, but so very talented as well.

Amanda Marie,
I love all your planned projects for 2019!
When we first arrived on this side of the Prairie, our 1970’s Ranch Style Home was called a “good bones” home.
Which meant it was outdated and in need of every thing!
We worked diligently the first three years. . .every weekend, vacation, snow days. . .you get the picture.
I finally said, “Enough”! We needed to just ‘live’ in our home.
The past two Seasons, we have worked with the landscaping.
First we hired a professional, then we began filing in with more bushes and grasses.
This year, the plan is to paint some heirloom furniture, rid ourselves of ‘too much stuff’
and to do a little bit of traveling.
My first visit to sincerely, marie designs. . . I l o v e what I’m seeing!
Pat
