Cozy Cottage

Introducing Cozy Cottage :

This month we are starting work on two houses!  That’s right two houses. 

We thought we better kick it up a notch and that’s exactly what we did. 

The first one we have named cozy cottage it’s such an adorable house and we have so many ideas for it. 

The second house, which we just closed on on the 7th, is named boho. 

This one has a lot of really cool features and you’re going to want to take a peek as soon as its finished.

 

But for this blog, we’ll focus on the Cozy Cottage. 

Some Insight on Cozy Cottage:

As you all know, we recently bought two new houses to flip into someone’s dream home.

 The first one of our houses, which we closed on on October 1st, we named cozy cottage. 

We were and still are so excited to make this house feel like home to someone special, but we’ve hit a couple roadblocks, which is normal for this type of work.

If you check out our latest Instagram/Facebook post, you’ll find that it was our plan to restore the original hardwood flooring we found underneath the added on flooring:

Instagram  Facebook

Well, we found out some disheartening news. 

The hardwood flooring is unrestorable. 

This was the saddest news to us, all of our plans had to be scrapped and we are now on the hunt for good and affordable flooring.

 What would you do?

 Do you think it’s worth it to find hardwood flooring to replace the un-restorable wood, or do you think we should just lay down carpet/tile?

Let us know what you think! 

Have a great week! Thanks for tuning in. 

It’s finished!

You heard that right, we finished our second house!

 We are so proud of the way that Cozy Cottage turned out. 

We first bought this house in early October, and it’s already finished now at the end of November.

The Story

When we first bought this house we were so excited to be able to refinish the hardwood flooring.

 But as you all know, that didn’t go as planned.

 We found that they were too far gone so we had to go with a different option for flooring.

 But we couldn’t be happier with the choices we made.

 We love the way that it all fits together, and looks so home-y.

 We added a few more touches with this one to try to make it feel like home.

 For example, the green wall in the dining room, or the soft carpet throughout the home. We love that it looks chic and modern, but also lived in.

 

Virtual Tour and Progress Photos

If you would like to see our virtual tour and our progress photos of the house from October until now, check out our instagram or facebook!

And as always, if you think that this may be the house for you, contact us!

 And we’ll set up your very own showing with all of the details. 

Thank you all for tuning in, and we’ll check back soon!

Oasis on F

New House!

We have some very exciting news for you all. We bought another house! 

This is a bit of an older house, just like we like it, and we are very eager to start working on it. 

We still have not decided on a name for it yet, so if you have any suggestions let us know! 

We are shooting for a beach-y theme. Lots of blue, light wood, all of the things.

 We have never had a house with this theme so we are very excited to try something new! 

We are very excited for this project! We’ll update you later!

A new name:

Our formerly not-so-named rental, the beach house, has gotten a new official name! 

We are calling it Oasis on F! 

This is going to be our first ever fully functioning rental. 

We plan to make renovations to update the home as needed, so stay tuned.

 But in more exciting news, we have our first guest staying with us! 

We are very glad that we get to host someone for the first time. 

If you know anyone or are someone interested in renting out this home, send us a message! 

We will also be posting the sites the Oasis on F is listed on! 

Turn your notifications on and be on the lookout!

Up for Rent:

As you may have seen on our recent facebook posts and instagram reels, we have two houses done and on the market! 

Well, one of those houses is on the market as a rental/airbnb, so we still have a few things we’d like to do. 

But the Oasis on F is officially on the market and we have our first renter staying with us now! 

Check out the virtual tour to see what this house has to offer.

We can’t wait and are excited for you all to see our work!

The Boho House

Welcome back!

We’re so glad that you guys are still tuning in to our blog posts and our progress so far!

 We love making this feel like more than just a business, we want it to be a community! So we are ecstatic that you are joining along.

Demo Day!

As you might know, one of our three houses we have right now is our boho house.

 It is a cute little three bedroom two bathroom home, with a spacious attic we’re claiming as a fourth bedroom.

 

We have been doing more demo on this house than we have ever done yet.

 Considering we’ve only finished one home so far. 

The first bathroom is completely gutted. We first took out the sink, and then we smashed the bathtub until it was nothing but dust and shards. 

It sounds aggressive but it was actually pretty fun!

 

What do you think we should do with this bathroom?

 Subway tile? What kind of grout do YOU think would look nice? 

We want your input. Like we said, this is a community.

Thanks for joining us and we’ll update you with more soon! See you later.

Plans for the Boho House:

Hey there! If you’ve been active on instagram or facebook lately, you know that our team has been putting the work in this winter to renovate our two houses: 

Modern Farmhouse, and Boho house. 

We couldn’t be more pleased with the work that they have done so far, and we are so lucky to have a team that genuinely loves what they do!

We can talk about the Modern Farmhouse later, but for now our Boho house has also been getting some renovation, mainly in the attic/loft area.

 We have a super exciting plan for this space. 

We plan to turn it into a twin bedroom for kids or guests. 

It has beautiful brick worked into the walls that we do plan to keep, and lots of hidden storage. 

We have also been working on the kitchen.

 We plan to replace windows, and build an entirely new area with lots of storage and walking space added in.

Attic Update:

The Boho House has been a very fun project for us so far. 

This is a house where we can have much more creative ideas in, as we will be keeping it as a rental. 

One of those ideas was redoing the attic, and turning it into a loft!

The attic is surprisingly spacious, so we knew that we wanted to do something cool with it, and not just leave it. 

First, our plan was to sheetrock the walls. But since the stairs were too sharp of a turn and too narrow, we couldn’t fit many pieces up there. 

So we decided to shiplap the walls!

 We love how it is turning out and it truly does add to the Boho theme.

 Next, we have two little storage areas on the sides of the room. These spaces are perfect for twin beds! 

We want to turn this room into a great hangout space that can also double as a guest bedroom.

We still haven’t decided on the flooring, however, so we promise to keep you updated!

Come back soon to hear more!

Almost Finished!

As you all know, our team has been working hard to get two houses done. These are our Modern Farmhouse and the Boho House. 

We are super proud and grateful for those who are working alongside us.

We will talk about the Modern Farmhouse in another post, but for now read about what’s happening with The Boho House!

The Boho House is on its way to being finished!

Today we are taping and mudding around the whole house, tomorrow is the day for texture, and on Monday our cabinets are in!

We have absolutely fallen in love with this house and are having the best time restoring it. 

Much much more to come. Talk to you later!

Finishing Touches:

We have been very busy lately!

 We’ve been buying new homes, finishing up our older ones, and renting out our projects!

 We promise we haven’t forgotten about the Boho House Project.

 This past week we finished the loft of the home. The only thing left up there is to lay down carpet and fix up the stairs. 

We are almost finished with our two living areas as well, and the bedrooms simply need some carpet and baseboards.

 The kitchen is also coming along, we are waiting for our open shelving to be built and a few more appliances and cabinets to come in.

 After that it will be finished! 

The next thing we need to tackle is the bathroom.

 We promise to give you all before and after pictures because the transformation is insane!! 

We’ll update you all soon, talk to you later!

Plans to Rent!

As you may know, the Boho House is very very close to being done.

One of only things we’ve been waiting on is the carpet being installed, and finally we are getting it into the home on Friday!

 We are that much closer to getting this home on the market.

We are so excited to get this home rented out and we are even more excited to show all of you our hard work!

 Stay tuned.

Just a few more tweaks…

We have been working on our Boho House for a bit now, but we are getting the final touches up this weekend!

If you check out our latest post you will see that we are putting up some beautiful backsplash, we love how its turning out so far.

 This weekend we are also finishing the bathroom for you all to see, as well as getting all of the doors up. 

We also have some floating shelves to put up that we haven’t even seen yet!

Things are really coming together and we are so excited to give you all the tour. 

Stay tuned!

It’s Finished!

This past weekend we spent a lot of time getting our Boho House ready for our first tenants!

The tenants officially move in today so we had many little details to figure out before then.

We made many runs to Target and Menards to find light fixtures, tables, paintings, all of the decorations you could think of. 

We are so glad we got it ready and put together for today.

Check in with you all later! Have a great week!

Modern Farmhouse

We have a new house!

We are happy to introduce to you all the newest addition of Flipping Dreams, Modern Farmhouse!

 We just recently bought this house at the end of November, and we’re already getting to work on it!

We have started turning this outdated home into a dream home, first by giving it some more space, we knocked out a huge wall in the living area!

 We have never torn down a wall this big before on a project, but we are so glad we did it. It completely opened up the room.

A lot of our inspiration for this house will be coming from Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia in Waco, Texas. 

If you remember, we went on a trip there last year and picked up a few good ideas, but we haven’t been able to use them until now! 

This is a Modern Farmhouse renovation, and no one quite does it better than them! 

So all of you farmhouse lovers get ready! We’ll be updating a lot on this one!

Demo is Starting!

As you all know, we recently just bought our 5th house! 

6th if you want to count our AirBNB. We have named this house Modern Farmhouse, and we’ve already gotten to work on it.

We’ve been focusing mostly on the living area. 

We knocked down the main wall, to open up the area and we are now giving it a few adjustments to really modernize the house.

We have taken out the whole entire kitchen and plan to replace it with new appliances and countertops.

 As of right now, the room is still a bright blue, but we want to change that. 

We are planning on finding a nice backsplash to really bring the whole room together.

We are very excited for all of the other rooms in this house and we are very excited for how this room will turn out. 

Stay tuned to see how it ends up!

Downstairs Renovation: 

Hey there! If you’ve been active on instagram or facebook lately, you know that our team has been putting the work in this winter to renovate our two houses: 

Modern Farmhouse, and Boho house.

 We couldn’t be more pleased with the work that they have done so far, and we are so lucky to have a team that genuinely loves what they do!

Our Modern Farmhouse has been getting some work mainly in the basement so far.

 When we bought it, it was pretty much an unfinished open space.

 We’ve started putting in walls to create a second bedroom and a living room. 

And because of this we got to create a huge storage/laundry room for the lucky buyers. 

There is still much much more to do, especially upstairs. But we couldn’t be more proud of where we’re at right now.

Cabinets and Floors:

We have made a lot of progress on our Modern Farmhouse. 

From tearing down one of the main walls to putting in cabinets. 

We are so so proud of our team and are so excited for the lucky buyers!

A couple of weeks ago, we started to texture the walls. 

Finally! We love the way it turned out and it makes it feel so much more like a home. 

This week, we got to put in our cabinets! We chose white uppers and hickory lowers. Along with that, we put in the cabinets for our coffee bar! 

We love how this project is coming around.

 Our next task, however, is picking out the flooring. We went to the store yesterday and are currently trying out different colors and styles of wood.

 We’ll update you soon with the final decision! Thanks again for tuning in, see you soon.

Painting and More:

As you all know, our team has been working hard to get two houses done. 

These are our Modern Farmhouse and the Boho House. 

We are super proud and grateful for those who are working alongside us. 

Now for the update: Modern farmhouse is almost finished! 

This week we finished all of the painting that needed to be done here, there is very little left to do! 

This is definitely one of our favorite flips so far, we really are starting to get the hang of it.

We have absolutely fallen in love with this house and are having the best time restoring it. 

 

Much much more to come. Talk to you later!

 

Lighting and Flooring:

As most of you know, we have been working hard to get our two houses completed. 

These houses are our Modern Farmhouse and our Boho House.

Today we will be talking about Modern Farmhouse, but we promise there is more to come for the Boho House.

Modern Farmhouse has been getting quite a bit of updates. 

Most recently we installed all of the cabinets, along with a coffee bar that we are super excited about.

We finally have lights! In all of the main areas of the house we installed recess lighting.

 We love how it looks and it makes working a whole lot easier. 

Our next thing to get done was the flooring. 

We were having some trouble figuring out which one we really wanted in this house. But we finally got it installed! 

More pictures from instagram to come soon.

We’re so excited to make this house feel cozy, comfortable, and like home for a special buyer. 

More updates to come on both of our houses soon! Thanks for tuning in.

Finishing Touches!

We are moving closer and closer to getting our Modern Farmhouse on the market! 

This week we are finishing up the final touches, and after that we will start staging!

 We are so proud of the work that was and still is being done on the Modern Farmhouse.

 We are so excited to finally give you all a tour of the finished product, and we are so excited to hand it over to a great buyer.

 Keep an eye out for the virtual tour on our socials, and we hope that you love it as much as we do!

The Virtual Tour is Coming!

We have been working on the Modern Farmhouse for some time now, and we couldn’t be more proud of how it has turned out.

 This week we are prepping the house for staging, and next week we will have a cozy home to share with you all!

 We have been held up a little bit by the snow; we had planned to give you all a virtual tour today. 

But that tour is coming soon!

 We want to thank our incredible team for getting this house done in record time, but still renovating it with care.

Bittersweet Goodbye:

As you all know, on Monday we launched the sale of our Modern Farmhouse at 10 am.

 We were nervous and excited all at the same time.

 By 3pm we already had 4 offers! 

We have never been more proud of a home and the intentionality we put into it.

 And obviously there were many people who fell in love with it as we did. 

Yesterday night we sat down to talk about the decision between the offers. 

We were torn between the very sweet offers and it was very difficult to choose! 

Ultimately we chose and gave the home to a loving buyer. 

We are so lucky to have so many people that love our work, you guys are all amazing and we hope to build more of your dream homes soon. 

Thank you for following along, the Modern Farmhouse is finished.

 

Closing Day!

We recently finished our Modern Farmhouse home. It was a lot of work, but it paid off.

We had multiple offers by the end of the day, and we decided on a lovely buyer.

We have been spending the time since then getting the home ready for them!

Finally, we have closed on the house!

The Modern Farmhouse is completely out of our hands!!

We are so so proud of this house, and also so sad to see it go.

We owe a lot to this house.

Thank you all for following along, stay tuned for more home updates!
