Our Rehab Renovation...

Almost four years ago, we bought an older home in Lubbock from Daniel's cousins. We instantly fell in love with the floor plan, but with the home being built in 1958 it was time for a rehab, especially since most of it was original to the home (over 50 years old!). This was our first project and boy did we have fun! I am so proud of my hunky handy man, that I just had to show off all his hard work. He turned this house into a cozy home for our family...

We gutted everything except for walls and started from scratch. I should probably clarify who "we" is! Together Daniel and I picked out all the materials and cast a vision, but Daniel was all the brawns behind the renovation...of course with a little help from his favorite side kick!

Yes, Kason was a tiny tot when we moved in...around 15 months. The three of us lived out of our master bedroom, Kason's bedroom, and the guest bathroom for several months while Daniel completed the renovation. It wasn't the easiest task watching a rambunctious toddler while your home is in shambles, but we made it work!

Daniel, being the amazing dad that he is, often recruited Kason for help during any projects that were safe for him to be around. Kason fell in love and now has a fascination with all things construction :).

Daniel did a phenomenal job with reflooring, retexturing, painting, installing new lights in the front room, gutting our master bath to its studs, hanging cabinets, tiling our back splash, and the list could go on and on! Yep, like I said...one proud wifey right here! While I'm reminiscing about all the memories this house has shared with us, I thought it would be fun to take you on a quick tour of our personal rehab renovations. First stop, our front room which we use as a more formal dining and living area (mainly for entertaining and kids to run around and release energy!)...

That room opens up into the heart of our home, where we spend most of our time, the living and kitchen...

 I am seriously in love with this kitchen Daniel made me and am having a very hard time parting with it!

 Our living room is nice and cozy, plus we love how open everything is to be able to see the munchkins playing...

 The boys share a room since we bought a 3 bedroom house not ever dreaming we would have 3 kids someday :). Max's crib is under Kason's loft bed (sorry for the bad picture below, I borrowed from the realtor!)...

 The guest bath (kids bathroom) was already renovated by the previous owners, so Daniel got a little break there!

 Zoe's room is fun and spunky, I especially love the old window wood window treatments that are original to the house. I just added a splash of color...

 The one downfall to this old home is the tiny master bathroom. We felt like the rooms were so spacious anyway, that it didn't really matter. When Daniel redid the bathroom, we did put in just a pedestal sink to help open up the area.

My master bedroom will also be so hard for me to leave! It is a quiet sanctuary for us to relax at the end of the day...

 While we are sad to leave this home, we are super excited to accept our next challenge...our new home in Cedar Park! That is right, we are in the process of purchasing a HUD home that needs a little TLC. While the outside is just precious...

the inside definitely needs the Clayton Rehab touch! Daniel and I already have so many plans for this home and I can hardly wait to share our progress with you over the next year...can't wait!
