Our Almost Farmhouse

Welcome to my “Almost Farmhouse!” I am oh-so-happy that you are here and that you want to take a look at my home. Come on in, grab a cup, and let’s visit!

We purchased this fixer upper in April of 2014 and have been blogging about our home as we renovate each room.  The home was built in the 80s and stayed in the 80s and we are eager to make this house our home by loving it back to life!

Here are my goals for our Almost Farmhouse and what we’ve completed so far:
