First Time DIY: One Year Progress

Just over a year ago Ryan and I met with a realtor to look at a garage in town. We decided the garage was too much work, but while we had the realtor there we went down the street and looked into a house that was under foreclosure. They wanted next to nothing for it, probably because no one is crazy enough to take on the projects inside. Later that weekend I mentioned to Ryan it would be fun to learn how to renovate and decorate a house. We joked around about making an offer on the 2nd Street house....then Ryan actually made an offer (next to nothing)....and then we got the house that no one was crazy enough to buy (except us, apparently).

We thought as long as we broke even on the house it would be something fun to work on. Little did we know that this house would become our pride and joy. We have had the house for a year and can not even believe how far we have come. We would not be this far along without the help of our family and friends, especially my dad who spends every weekend right beside us. A big thanks goes out to anyone who has helped us get here!
