Kelly Living in a Fixer Upper

Hi! I’m Kelly. My little family and I are slowly restoring our fixer upper, a 1901 Folk Victorian Foursquare.

Here, you’ll find timeless design with bold colors, nonstop home DIY projects, and regular stalkings of Marketplace, auctions & thrift stores.

Join me in my passion for old houses and “can-do” attitude, and follow as our dream home comes to life.
