A DECADE OF EFFORT: this ain't fixer upper
before & after, inside & outside, hot-packed tomato sauce + a giveaway!
Hello my friends,
Today, we’re taking you on a journey - from where it started with our little cottage almost a decade ago, to today. What do you think of the BEFORE pictures featured in the video? My children lovingly said “Wow! It looked like a rich persons house!” - they clearly haven’t ever been in a rich persons house.
It surprises me how every single inch of the cottage has been touched. In the kitchen, most of this involved stripping back the stucco to reveal natural wood walls that sat behind, revealing a boarded over built in cupboard, and then layering in pieces that felt at home in the space. Every tile, every doorway, every light switch has been accounted for. No wonder we’re tired. This has been a ton of work!
Spoiler: it goes about 9,000 times slower than Fixer Upper. And dreams tend to be bigger than checkbooks…
Y’all have been super supportive of the new video format with your likes, shares, comments, and subscribes. Thank you for that. I’m grateful for each and every one of you.

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends.
Cheers,
Shaye
