My husband and I sold our home in the spring of 2021. After almost 15 years, it was a bitter sweet decision as it was the longest home we had ever lived in. We built the large Craftsman style home (with a basement) with the idea that it would be our forever home. But life changes, opportunities arise and as our youngest child prepared to head to college, we felt it was the right choice. We had BIG ideas for downsizing.

Determining our next steps was a journey of it’s own. We found land and designed a home. But the Mister loves a Zillow search. I always refused his links because most of the homes he was looking at would not allow me to keep chickens and that was a deal breaker. Then one day he sent me a link that was incredibly intriguing. A home with mid-century features but built in 1992. Not only did it sit on a lot full of trees that backed up to protected land it was also a short walk to a cove on our local lake. Best of all, I can have my chickens. I was sold!

There is quite a bit of work that needs to be done. The home has good bones but it needs some TLC. I love a good renovation and this will prove to be a fantastic project. Join me as I do my best to document my Bab’s Court make over.
