WHAT A YEAR! 💜 One year ago TODAY we were handed a vibrant, psychedelic key and told we were officially the new owners of this incredible home. 💜We spent 3 months living in it before renovations, and I'm so glad we did. So much has changed, both in our lives and in this space. 💜 What an honor to breathe new life into it, and to share it with you. 💜 Special thank you to @sky_built and @storiestoldbyar for documenting the house while we are not there, to @arthomephoto who took the original real estate listing photos, and @dustinandcorynn who did our 70's photo shoot! . . . . . #renovationideas #hgtvhome #vaultedceiling #secondhandfinds #retrokitchen #woodworking #vintageliving #mcmhome #1970svintage #firstimpression #fortwayne #newandold #midcenturyinterior #renovationinspiration #70sdesign #midcenturyart #indiana #buyvintage #carpet #midcenturydecor #midcenturyhome #uniquehomes #midcenturymodernarchitecture #instahomes #vintagemagazines

"Surely we won't win the offer" we told ourselves. Thank goodness we were wrong. Exactly 1 year ago today our offer was accepted on #That70sHouse. 💜 Soon after, we did a 70's style shoot to celebrate, and our wild journey with all of you began 💜. Thank you for following along through the thick and thin of lovingly breathing new life into this incredible home. 💜 Real estate photos by @arthomephoto 70"s Style photo shoot by @dustinandcorynn 💜

The big reveal of the @trexcompany deck at that 70's House with @sky_built ! #trexdecking #trexpartner #indooroutdoorliving #deckdesign

PROGRESS!🙌🏻🎉 The deck will be finished literally any minute now, and I cannot WAIT for the big reveal of our @trexcompany deck! True to form, there were some pretty major structural issues revealed during the deck build (head to my stories for the tea), but I'm ever so thankful @sky_built is on the case. ❤️ Stay tuned for a super fun deck reveal! 🙌🏻 Who's excited! 🙋🏼‍♀️ . . . . . #trexdecking #trexpartner #deckdesign #renovationideas #midcenturymodernarchitecture #mcmhome #1970svintage #firstimpression #newandold #renovationinspiration #uniquehomes #fortwayne #indiana #instahomes #midcenturyhome

We got word that my vision for the dining room will come to life soon! 🎉 🙌🏼 I've been getting lots of messages about updates for the retro house, but due to COVID there were understandable delays. However, demo of the original, structurally unsound dining room will begin on August 16th! Soon after that, deck construction will begin, and flooring will go in. Updates will be rapid fire soon, so hold on to your hats come mid-August! Head to my stories to get the full update! 🎉 Chandelier- @sazerac_stitches Flooring- @forboflooringsystems Table/chairs- @article Planters- @etsy Dishware- @fiestadinnerware Rug- @ruggable Vision board created in @canva . . . . . #vintageliving #mcmhome #1970svintage #firstimpression #fortwayne #newandold #midcenturyinterior #renovationinspiration #70sdesign #choosefi #vintagemagazines #midcenturyart #indiana #buyvintage #carpet #midcenturydecor #midcenturyhome #uniquehomes #midcenturymodernarchitecture #instahomes #hgtvhome #renovationideas

7 months owning this incredibly groovy home. ❤️ A few of those months living in the home and getting a feel for it in real life drastically changed the so much of my vision for it's future, and I'm so glad for it! ❤️ The shag may be gone, but it's vibe is as strong as ever! What was the first thing in this room that you fell in love with? Mine is the cedar wood ceiling 😍 📷 @arthomephoto . . . . . #vintageliving #mcmhome #1970svintage #firstimpression #fortwayne #newandold #midcenturyinterior #renovationinspiration #70sdesign #choosefi #vintagemagazines #midcenturyart #indiana #buyvintage #carpet #midcenturydecor #midcenturyhome #uniquehomes #midcenturymodernarchitecture #instahomes #timecapsulehouse #hgtvhome

What. A. Rollercoaster. That's the only way I can describe the last two months. I was quickly reminded that the fostering world turns me into an anxious mess. I'm happy to report that we've (mostly)found our groove, and my two older kiddos will be attending preschool in two weeks, freeing some brain space for creativity again. 🙌🏼 Is it strange to say that I missed you? Because I absolutely did and I'm so glad to jump back in to renovations!

Clearing the way for the new kitchen! 😍✨ So strange to see the home return to bare bones, but also SO incredibly exciting to see an endless blank slate. There's been a few changes, so head to my stories to vote on your favorite backsplash! 🙌🏼 What's your most-loved feature in the kitchen? Mine is drawers for lower cabinets! 😍 Huge thank you to @storiestoldbyar for capturing this and many other images, @glistennshinecleaners for an amazing demo day, and of course our contractors, @sky_built ! . . . . . #renovationideas #70shome #midwestmade #retrodecor #homereno #midcenturyinterior #housegoals #midcenturyliving #vintageliving #mcmhome #1970svintage #firstimpression #fortwayne #newandold #renovationinspiration #70sdesign #choosefi #vintagemagazines #midcenturyart #indiana #buyvintage #carpet #midcenturydecor #midcenturyhome #uniquehomes #midcenturymodernarchitecture #instahomes

And so it begins!! 💥Demo started happening at the home, and we could not be more excited! I love how attention is already shifted to the architecture of the house without the shock of purple shag. Don't worry, the shag is not done living life yet, as we were able to pass it on to @old5anddimesignco, who removed and deep cleaned the shag for his rad vans! I love that the shag lives on! Just...not in my house. 🤪 Soon drywall, the deck, and flooring will begin! What are you most excited to see get installed? 📷@sky_built ❤️ . . . . . #retrohome #midcenturyinterior #midwestmade #midcenturyliving #spiralstaircase #fortwayne #indiana #70sstyle #70sdesign #70shome #hgtvdesign #renovationideas #retrodecor #housesofinstagram #homereno #housegoals #housetohome

"On your face I see a trace of love Of love, of love, of love" Introducing baby sis, our littles' biological baby sister. She's doing great, she's amazing, and we're all in love. ❤️ Head to my stories to see Elias and Eva's reaction. ❤️ Baby girl, we may not know your future but we are so grateful for every moment spent with you. ❤️ May our arms and home be a place of love, of love, of love.

The best reason to rush back to Florida. ❤️ If you've been around a while you know littles' came to us through foster care before we finalized their adoption last year. We recently learned their biological baby sister was to be born soon and would likely be placed with us. We don't know baby sis' future, but what we do know is that she's 100% worth the immediate rush to Florida, worth the risk of heartbreak, and worth every ounce of love. Work on the retro house has commenced, and I can't wait to share that progress with you! Exciting life and house updates galore are coming soon. ❤️ . . . . . #fostercare #fosterfamily #3under4 #newborngirl #growingfamily #newbornmom #siblingslove❤️ #keepsiblingstogether #siblingsquad #mcmhome #1970svintage #firstimpression #orlandofl #orlando #renovationinspiration #70sdesign #midcenturyart #midcenturydecor #midcenturyhome #uniquehomes #midcenturymodernarchitecture

Guess what arrived on Saturday? 😍🤤💚 Our home officially has TWO stunning fireplaces. 🔥This green Malm fireplace will be in the basement, providing supplemental heat and eye candy. 😍 Who's ready for some game nights curled up by this beauty? . . . . . #vintageliving #mcmhome #1970svintage #firstimpression #fortwayne #newandold #midcenturyinterior #renovationinspiration #70sdesign #choosefi #vintagemagazines #midcenturyart #indiana #buyvintage #carpet #midcenturydecor #midcenturyhome #uniquehomes #midcenturymodernarchitecture #instahomes #fireplacelove #homesofig #gasfireplace #fireplacegoals #basementrenovation #finishedbasement #basementremodel #basementdesign #uniquehomes

Hard to believe that dining room behind us is going to get fixed soon!! I posted my vision for it in my stories. 🥰 We're going for simpler touches as I want the focus to be on the outdoors and the fireplace! 🙌🏼🔥It's a delicate balance of creating a beautiful statement in spaces and balancing the areas in the home so they flow well. Already dreaming of the meals I'll serve and the people we'll entertain. ❤️ 📷 @dustinandcorynn . . . . . #flooringideas #floortoceilingwindows #vintageliving #mcmhome #1970svintage #firstimpression #fortwayne #newandold #midcenturyinterior #renovationinspiration #70sdesign #choosefi #vintagemagazines #midcenturyart #indiana #buyvintage #carpet #midcenturydecor #midcenturyhome #uniquehomes #midcenturymodernarchitecture #instahomes #renovationinspiration #indiana #midwestmade

I literally could not take it anymore. New tile isn't going in yet, but I could not walk into this shaggy bathroom one more time. About 95% of the shag in this house is getting up-cycled to some lovely new owners, but not this room. Spoiler alert: soon after this I had to pause to get a mask. 🤢😷 Who's ready to see some fresh clean tile in this room? 🙋🏼‍♀️ . . . . . #vintageliving #mcmhome #1970svintage #firstimpression #fortwayne #newandold #midcenturyinterior #renovationinspiration #70sdesign #choosefi #vintagemagazines #midcenturyart #indiana #buyvintage #carpet #midcenturydecor #midcenturyhome #uniquehomes #midcenturymodernarchitecture #instahomes #housesofinstagram #bathroomremodel #womenwhobuild
