Here I go… my first blog post and I have no idea what I am doing. Let’s try this out…

Welcome to our 1950 fixer upper! It all started with me being bored one night searching through realtor.com to see if anything was interesting in our town for sale. Don’t you all do this before you go to bed 😂. Just me?!? Then, I scrolled across this beauty and became intrigued.

Some of you may look at this house and think it looks like an eye sore and scroll past it but all I saw was hidden beauty. I leaned over and showed Jason the pictures and he thought I was nuts!!! I’m sure some of you are thinking this too but I couldn’t stop thinking about this house and mostly the land!! Land in the forest doesn’t come around often in Mokena, so I had to view this.

A couple of days later, we scheduled a showing to view the property and walked through it. The house definitely had no one living it and had that abandoned smell to it. Plus, it was kind of scary going around some corners and opening up doors but we kept going. About 7,000 sq ft later, we ended up in the backyard staring out at the land. 3 acres of gorgeous land! A creek, a barn, rolling hills, a tennis court (or what was suppose to be a tennis court) and much more. I looked at Jason with my eyes wide open and a smile on my face he knew what I was about to say… “I LOVE IT!!” The best part of the entire visit then came. Jason looked at me with a grin, “I love it too.”

And the rest is history!

This is part of our backyard! Amazing right.

Come along with me on our journey while we go room by room remodeling to bring it back to the beauty it use to be.

Love ya, Lisa
