    Tour Our Current Home

    Welcome to my Meadow Brook home! Stick around and Tour our Current Home!

    After living in a dated 80s fixer upper in rural Tennessee for four years (you can tour that home here), we moved into this 35 year old home in September of 2018. It was a difficult move for our family but we are loving making this home our own and have been blogging as we renovate each room.  The home was built in the 80s and had a few renovations, but still needs much work to be done!

    We love sharing our DIY adventures with you and what we've learned along the way in hopes that it encourages you to tackle projects in your own home.

    I'll share links to the tutorials as well as list out our wish list for what we hope to accomplish for each room.

    This home is still being updated, but here's where we are now.
