The Dining Room

When we bought our home,

 there were two living areas, 

one was the formal living room, 

and the other was called the family room.

That said, there was only a dining area, a very small breakfast nook area...

and a really small enclosed kitchen.

Having an interior design background,

I decided that we needed to change up the floor plan a bit. 

So the plan of action was to remove the kitchen wall, expanding the kitchen to the

Laminate Floor

As I promised, I am starting to share our remodeling journey.

The day we signed the papers and got the key of our new home,

we immediately went over and started to remove the old carpet.

I had exactly 4 days before our container arrived, to remove ALL the carpet in the home and replace it with new flooring.

I had to get the floor done before we could move our furniture in.

To say that this was a stressful process is an

Florida Life

You know the saying "when life gives you lemons, 

make lemonade"...

well, lots of lemonade over here lately.

For the last 6 months we have been enjoying our new 

South Florida life.

That's right.

In November we sold our Nashville home 

and moved 1000 miles south and migrated to warmer weather.

We ended up buying a home down here that needed a major, MAJOR facelift.

I have done floors, lighting, electrical, plumbing, bathrooms and finishing up the kitchen.

I am beyond exhausted.

I will be sharing soon all that I was able to do.

For now, 

here a sneak peak of our home.

Stay Frugal,
