Introducing Paty

And who or what is Paty? I will tell you! Recently, Austin has taken a new path in real estate. He has gone down the road of flipping houses. This has been a fun project, but a TON of work, mostly for Austin. He has been a trooper and has done a lot of the work himself with the help of those who have a background in this sort of thing. I don't think either one of us anticipated all the hours and late nights he would put into this, but we are very proud of outcome. I enjoyed selecting all the finishes and colors and recreating the kitchen layout. I'm grateful to still be doing some sort of design even though I don't work at an office anymore.

We are pretty much done with the remodel and the house is now FOR SALE!!! This post is two-fold: 1. I want to share the journey we've taken in making this house what it is today and 2. If any of you reading this know of anyone in the market for an awesome home, please send them our way. We would love to see this house go to some great homeowners! The house has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, dining area, living room, family room with a nook, and laundry room. It sits on .24 acres and is in a cul-de-sac. We have put a lot of work and time into this to make sure it is a quality home. The house is located at 480 Paty Circle in Sandy. Therefore, we refer to the house as Paty.

The previous homeowner always wanted to live in a cabin, but said he could never afford it. Therefore, he turned his house into one. He glued then nailed tongue and groove flooring to the walls and ceilings to create this effect. It was actually quite impressive and I was almost sad to have to demolish all the work this other guy so painstakingly put into it, but such is life.

Basically the whole interior is brand new! We replaced the furnace, removed the swamp cooler and put in central air, added a garage, tore down and rebuilt the deck, touched up the exterior paint, and replaced most of the windows. You name it, we did it! Here are some before and after pictures:
