I love finding new projects! This one we seen on Facebook Marketplace for FREE! I always suggest watching your Facebook Marketplace on the weekends. Most people are home and are able to go through items around the house and don't want to haul items off so they post them for free. This is how I have found multiple items in our home. They may not be in fabulous condition but most of the time I can fix them up to be in tip top shape and change them into the style of my liking. So keep your eyes peeled and be on the lookout!
We fell in love with this cure little cottage and the character that it has. Especially those cute shingles! I mean come on how can you not fall in love with shingles like that. The exposed beams in the loft and the detailed cutouts for the top of the house are absolutely perfect.
We plan to turn it into a little farmhouse cottage. One day I can see my kids playing with this house and we can tell them and show them the process of what it took to make it!
What's Next?
For this project we will start with the reno. Me and my mom feel like a real life Chip and Joanna Gaines. We will first start with cleaning it up and wiping it down and then we will start on the demo. We will let you know how demo day goes.
For Demo were Planning on . . .
Cleaning the Exterior of the House
Ripping Out all the Carpet
Taking Down all the Wallpaper
Removing all the Mirrors
How To Find Free Items
Here are a few places I always keep and eye on for free items . . .
Facebook Marketplace: This is where I find the majority of the free things I get.
Local Yard Sale Facebook Groups: I join many different groups on Facebook as well. Many people will post a photo of things they want gone after a yard sale so they don‘t have to haul it off and this is a great opportunity to pick up a few things!
KSL Classifieds: If your local to Utah this is a great one to go on to find free treasures!
Yard Sales: After most yard sales are over most people will put there "junk" out on the road for free so they don't have to haul it off. This is a great opportunity to find some fun items!
