Over here, we do imperfect.
We do real.
We have limited budgets, not enough sleep, and big dreams.
Every day is an adventure – and one we love sharing with you.
We’re working on making our fixer upper a home, one project at a time.

I believe in making a beautiful home on a budget, so we can enjoy life with our families in a space that we love. Come see more about us

Well what a difference 24 hours can make 😅 my parents beach condo (it will be used as a rental) has come a LONG way in just a day! They’ve been working so hard on this place, and I got to come down for a day to help. We may not have a couch yet (story in my blog post 🙃) and there’s still yellow on many walls … but man it’s coming along.

The theme is “cozy coastal” - and we are doing our best to keep it classy in here ✨ what do you think??

WOAH. This project is one of our most satisfying exterior projects to date! In case you forgot what this looked like before, scroll to see where we started Partnering with @barretteoutdoorliving helped give us a BIG push on our outdoor makeover!
It's funny - we bought this house for its location and land, but the exterior needs quite a lot of work. Removing the dated lattice and replacing it with these beautiful (and durable) Decorative Screen Panels was a HUGE improvement. And adding more panels + a screen panel frame kit makes our landscaping feel more purposeful and less haphazard.
While we still have a deck renovation to tackle (someday!), implementing these changes has been a huge HUGE improvement out here.
Now - can you just imagine how pretty it's going to look in the spring and summer?? #TheOutsideCompany #HoweverYouHome #MyOutsideSide

Sharing this picture to remind you that not everyone has a picture perfect holiday season. In fact, I’d guess most don’t. So if you feel less than while scrolling on IG, know that there’s plenty of us who are right there with you 💗
