We’ve got another house that will be closing soon and I will be posting the before and after pictures. It has turned out so, so cute! However, it needed some shutters and I just couldn’t find what I was looking for. So I decided to make them! It was a super easy project, but has also been a lot of fun.
As I was painting, it got me reminiscing about our first several flips when Josh and I did almost all of the work ourselves. It felt like all I ever did was paint…
Almost 10 years ago when we first started flipping we would buy a house and fix it up while we lived in it. We would move about every 6 months doing the same thing over and over again until we eventually saved up enough money to stay in one house and buy additional houses to flip. Then we started contracting out the work as we were buying multiple houses and didn’t have the time to do the work ourselves. Oh, and kids came along…so there’s that.
I thought it would be fun to show you all a few pictures of our first few flip houses. Of course I didn’t have a blog back then. I have a few after pictures, but unfortunately not many before pictures.
This is Magnolia Court, our very first house.

How do you like that forest green wall?? I tried talking Josh out of it, but he was dead set on having that green. So there ya have it. I think it’s safe to say our flips have come a long way since these first few… 🙂
This is our second house…Sacajawea Court.

So much hard work and TIME went into these houses. Some days I miss getting to do some of the work ourselves. It was even more rewarding to see the end result! I wish I would have started this blog from the beginning as I am missing about 40 or so houses….and it’s so fun to go back and look at before and after.
Make sure to check back soon…we’ll see how the shutters turned out on the next post!
