This week we had our first week in Wisconsin and next Monday we close on our new house down here. We still haven’t moved out of our Marquette house because closing isn’t for another month. Before we have our stuff all moved out, I wanted to share a “Two Years Later Home Tour” with all of you. Most of the projects throughout the house were done very affordably with just a coat of paint, we also replaced all the lighting throughout the house. Probably the most expensive updates were adding the laundry room upstairs, replacing the countertops, and re-doing the driveway! I hope this post encourages you that with some paint and new lighting any space can be transformed!

We ended up only living in this house for just shy of two years. In the time I shared a “Summer Home Tour“, a Tour of “Where we Work and Play“, a “Christmas Home Tour” a “One Year Later Home Tour” a “Summer Home Tour” and a “Fall Home Tour“. For each tour there were updates and changes bringing us to where we ended today. We were blessed to find a buyer right away who is excited to be moving into our home!
