The shiplap stays shiplap.
But that drywall... It was just asking for color!

Besides, when two brothers are sharing a room but can't agree on a color, why not just do both?

Plus, the first shower is just about done! Only two more to go!

Many of you have followed along as we’ve rescued, moved, and begun restoring our new 100-year-old house, and we just want to say how grateful we are for the encouragement, prayers, and kind words along the way. It truly means more than you know.

Something many people don’t realize is that this house project is being carried forward entirely through our family’s small business, The humble life, where we make our own line of all-natural bath and body care products - including soaps, magnesium creams, essential oil blends, and more.

We want to be very clear: we will never ask for donations or financial help for this house. That said, if you’ve ever wondered how you could support the restoration in a meaningful way, the best way is simply by supporting our business.

Every order, every share, and every bit of encouragement helps more than people realize, and we are deeply thankful.

We’ll drop the link to our website in the comments below for anyone who’s interested. As a bonus, any order placed this weekend will ship out Monday and should arrive in time for Christmas!

We're moving along!

All the new windows are in, interior framing is done, exterior insulation is in, and the light fixtures are ready to go.

Within the next 4 - 6 weeks we'll be finished with:
- Plumbing
- Electric
- HVAC
- Sheetrock
- Tile

We'll do a walk-through of the house soon so you can see the progress.

But by this time next month it should start looking like a house inside instead of a construction site!

One year ago we saw a Facebook post that has forever changed the life of our family: A "free" 100-year-old house to whoever could have it moved.

We contacted the owners right away and went that very afternoon to walk through the house.

It seemed crazy but also... perfect. (That seems to be a running theme in our lives.) But, honestly, it was an answer to years of prayer.

We started to make calls the next day to see what it would take to move it to our property (shout out again to JPS Contracting and House Moving and to Woodson Lumber Company who have both been a huge help) and sure enough... we were crazy enough to make it happen.

It's been a whirlwind of a year ever since and we're still not done. (We'll post more updates soon!)

The Lord has given us so much and we want nothing more than to be good stewards of it all. This is very clearly His doing.

Anyway, here's to one year of this journey! We've gained full hearts and so many more stories to tell.
