AMY’S ABODE

As a designer, I love helping everyone else with their homes and it is so much easier for me to feel proud of my work on my client’s homes. But when it comes to my own home, I never feel like it’s 100% exactly the way I’d like it to be. I am super critical of every detail, and it is much more difficult for me to feel comfortable putting it out there for everyone to see. I know I am over-analyzing and being silly! At any rate, I did feel like it was important to share some of my story because this house has been a huge project since the day we bought it. I have always built brand-new homes in the past and this was the first time my husband and I bought a Fixer-Upper. I had romantic notions that it would be so much fun to remodel this home and make it our own. Truth is, parts have been fun, but it has also been so much more challenging than I had ever imagined. It never seems to end! I am proud of our hard work (we did most of the work ourselves) and the incredible transformation that we have made with this home. I do absolutely love our home now, and I want to share a little bit of our journey with you all. This process has been so good for me to truly understand what our clients go through when they have their homes remodeled. I can honestly say “I know what you’re going through” and I can actually help prepare them and make the process a little less painful! So… let’s begin the adventure!
