Hiliary is my oldest and only daughter (my favorite daughter.) She is a single mom raising my only grandchild, he is two. (my favorite grandchild.) They live in Indiana and I am in Florida. You already can tell the problem is seeing them regularly.
One night laying in bed with my husband, he said " We need to find a way to bring Hiliary down here." My husband is not Hiliary's dad. We do like many parents- send money to "help" our children. We actually weighed out what we send and what it would cost and it became very apparent buying a second home would be cost savings. Okay! I know even if it wasn't I was on board!
2 weeks ago we made our bid at full asking price. We close Friday. The house was a one owner home. All appliances included, new carpet, new air condition and heating, new water heater and big yard for the grandson! Hiliary has never had a yard as an adult. She is so excited to have a place for her son to play and to plant flowers. My goal for this house is to furnish and decorate with a budget. The only fail is I haven't set a budget. ;) I am not extravagent so I am confident that I don't need one I can do it like breathing.... be interesting what the tally will be.
I'm going to share a picture of the house and my furniture finds. The grey table was free for the hauling the other pieces all together was 40.00. You can see already that is a steal for all the furniture.
Next post is the awesome kitchen flip.
