  • And here's the after! It took almost a year but fixing up this house was definitely a lesson in patience and perseverance! πŸ’•my awesome hubby did 90% of the work himself - no crew of 20 guys for us (I wish!) but we were able to save SO much money this way! Labor costs add up quickly so if you have the ability and ambition to do it yourself, go for it! β˜ΊπŸ‘πŸ»full source list on the blog #theharperhouse
  • So this was what we had to work with when we first set foot in the #fliphouse 😳thankfully I married a very handy hubby who has mad skills and lets me flex my design muscles πŸ’ͺ🏻see the full reveal on the blog here: bit.ly/2jWlf5m

  • Needed a focal point to go behind the stove in the #fliphouse and made this super easy sign. Great for Thanksgiving or keep it up all year! Sharing the tutorial on the blog - link in profile. ☺️
  • I don't know how @joannagaines does it but staging a house is NO joke! I'm exhausted 😴 but so happy with the way our #fliphouse has turned out 🌿you know that vision that you have in your head of how you want it to look? Well, it actually DOES look like my vision - yay! Now just waiting to get the photos back from the photog, and then the big reveal! I'll be sharing a few more sneak peeks here though so stay tuned ☺️#theharperhouse
  • I have to admit, I'm going to be sad to see this house go πŸ™it's been a long labor of love, but this is by far our best flip yet. I love all the extra details and I officially want to #shilap every darn wall now πŸ˜‚(where's the shiplap emoji?!?) #theharperhouse
  • So blessed to have such a talented and humble hubby who can bring my crazy design ideas to life πŸ’• I wanted this niche in the master shower to be trimmed in chair rail, so he ripped out the previous version and made this πŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸ» I don't tell him often enough, but he's awesome ☺️ #fliphouse #theharperhouse
  • here's the after! Hubby used his paint sprayer to turn this $199 bargain into a custom looking piece perfect for the #fliphouse! Color is Fieldstone by @benjaminmoore πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’• #beforeandafter #theharperhouse
  • Would you believe I found this stove hood for only $199 bucks at our local cabinet outlet store?πŸ™€πŸ’• Saved hubby SO much time from not having to build his own. Don't worry, we didn't leave it this color πŸ˜‰πŸ‘ŒπŸ» I'll share the after tonight (gotta leave ya in suspense!)πŸ˜‚ #beforeandafter #fliphouse #theharperhouse
