About 18 months ago, my friend and I were browsing through our favorite second-hand store, when a voice behind us asked something like, “Excuse me, ladies, would you give me your opinion?”<\/p>\n

I’ve been blessed to call that “voice behind us” a friend ever since. I had just launched J. Jordan at the time, so this happenstance meeting was just that.<\/p>\n

Fast forward…that sweet, just-younger-enough-to-make-me-feel-old mom of two adorable little boys and I are friends and have *almost* completed her home reno!<\/p>\n

I have to admit, I didn’t know what I was getting into with this one! \u00a0I had no idea that my new friend was so ambitious! \u00a0And by ambitious, I mean, she has put\u00a0her blood, sweat, and tears<\/del>\u00a0some serious effort into her home, giving almost every single room a complete overhaul! She also happens to have an amazingly handy family that she has recruited to paint, drill, paint, install…and did I mention\u00a0paint?!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

This lovely lady proves that creating an updated, trendy, and welcoming home does not have to cost a fortune. I’m so pleased with the results!<\/p>\n

There’s\u00a0SO MUCH MORE\u00a0<\/em>to this project that is not represented in these pictures. Honestly, I’m not posting more because my phone camera doesn’t do it justice. Upon my most recent visit, we worked on the master bedroom decor…\"IMG_9259\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…but even this photo doesn’t truly capture the fresh, romantic retreat that this room has become.<\/p>\n

Steve and Sarah bought this house as their young family began to expand, and they have worked hard to create a home that matches their young, innovative zest for life! In the process, Sarah has become a BOSS of repurposing old furniture…so if you need tips, hit her up!<\/p>\n
