We are in the process of updating our Meadow Brook home, but feel free to look around our old home that we affectionately referred to as our “Almost Farmhouse!” 

We weren’t farmers and never raised any crop, but this little rural home on one acre was perfect for our family.

I am oh-so-happy that you are here and that you want to take a tour. Come on in, grab a cup, and tour our old home!

We purchased this fixer upper in April of 2014 and blogged about our home as we renovated each room.  The home was built in the 80s and stayed in the 80s and we were eager to make this house our home by loving it back to life!

We sold this home in August of 2018, but you can still see all of the DIYs we completed in this home.

Here are the projects that we tackled in our last home. Links to each project are below.
