Kelly’s husband thought she had lost her mind when they walked through this crumbling, water-damaged, termite-infested house and she exclaimed “I’ll take it!” Truly, most people would have turned back before they even made it through that front door. It was an intense year-long process of gutting it practically down to the nubs to get it to the beautiful point it is today. Now her husband is the one doing the exclaiming, as he’s been known to say, “they’ll have to carry me out of here feet first!” I agree sir. I agree.

January 5, 2012 at 3:33 PMOh, the possibilities! 😉 Sometimes you end up buying the least attractive house in a decent neighborhood that comes with a big to-do list. Yeah, we did that, too. But it’s a great house for us. Off to see the featured house. Here’s my fixer-upper circa 1986.

Wow – thrilled to see my house featured! It was definitely a labor of love and lots of drinking was involved! Looking forward to showing off the interior rooms!
