an unconventional home
We have a big project we have been working on at home for a few months, and I haven’t posted about it here. But with the start of a new year, I wanted to share the entire project here as well to have it in one place. Buckle up, this will be a long one.
In short, we are in the process of adding a bedroom on the first floor of our home.
Thank you for all the sweet comments about the split level home we renovated and are selling.

It’s time to share a few more projects we took on in the split level renovation. If you missed the first few posts, check out the sunroom and the main living space first.
Next up …
The bathrooms and four bedrooms. The bathrooms needed full overhauls while the bedrooms just needed a little spruce up with paint and flooring.
Next up to share on our split level renovation – the main living area before and after photos. This space includes the living room, dining room and kitchen. The space isn’t fully “open concept”, but has an expansive feel.
The wildest thing is we didn’t do anything over-the-top here – no walls torn down, no major renovations, no brand new kitchen. But the things we did tackle helped clean, modernize and brighten the space. It’s now a beautiful space for a family.
I think it’s an amazing transformation on a budget.
Our big news is that not only is the house FINISHED, it’s also UNDER CONTRACT.
So now that the quick update is out of the way, I’m hoping to share the before and after photos and share some of the details over the next few weeks.
The first before and after I want to share is the sunroom, which I think is my favorite room in the house.
It’s finally time for a new project.
A few months ago, we purchased the house across the street from our current home. It’s a split-level home on about 3 acres of land in the country. The owners (our neighbors) both passed away in the past few years and it has been mostly empty since early 2020. There was an auction held by the estate last fall but it didn’t sell.
The more we have watched the market in our area (homes are selling like hotcakes), the more we thought this home could be a good investment and opportunity to take on a new project.
So we have a new home to work on. And it’s totally different than anything we’ve done before. A split level!
