our sweet home south

It's official!! The Hubbs and I have signed the contract, locked in our amazingly low interest rate and BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOME!! Our Sweet Home South will be nestled in the quaint little neighborhood of Hillcrest.

Last week, our offer was accepted, and now we get to play the waiting game. But this waiting game is way too much fun...Y'all want to know why?! Because we get to basically build the inside of our home from scratch. Our amazing contractor, Jett Ricks, bought this home with the intention to flip the house and resale the home after construction was complete. He had his hands full because this home had to be gutted down to the bare bones. The only original pieces of the home are the brick structure, selected beams and yes, the original door knocker. Yes Sweets, the entire house will be totally updated...new plumbing, new electrical, new floors, new ceilings, new doors, new windows, new countertops, new cabinets, new paint, new landscaping...NEW EVERYTHING!!

Our contractor has the pre-gutted before pictures {I will try and get these on the blog by next week..I have to get them from our contractor..}, but here are post-gutted pictures...
