We started our family home journey originally in West Chester, Ohio. We bought a 2-story brick colonial built in 2006 with .24 acres in a new subdivision. We loved it out there! Great area for families. As the years went by, Keith and I discovered our heart is truly with nature and gardening. We craved a home with more land and trees. Over the years we looked and looked all over the Butler County area but nothing popped up. Then out of the blue we got lucky! God created a beautiful opportunity for us. A leap of faith. Our world was about to get flipped upside down.
We found out Keith’s great uncle had a unique wooded property in Montgomery, Ohio with 2.4 acres set in the woods that he was interested in selling. It was a traditional brick 2-story built in 1981. His aunt and uncle put so much love into the home. You could tell it was a special place.
When we moved in we loved the character of the home but it was a very compartmentalized floor plan. The kitchen was closed off and small. Each room felt so isolated from the rest of the home. We decided the main floor needed to be opened up! We knew this meant living in a renovation for 2-3 months! As awful as it sounded the thought of refreshing this home and bringing out the character was to hard to pass up.
I decided to blog after experiencing Week 1 of demo. We are having quite the adventure and I wanted to share our experience to preserve our memories along with spreading joy and entertainment to you as well!
Enjoy the roller coaster ride of our home renovation!!
