Happy belated holidays everyone! I know it's been awhile since the last I've posted but, I can briefly explain.....
I'm in the process of investing in my 1st home! Yes, its such an exciting thing but, it's also the most frustrating due to figuring out budgeting, where I want to settle down, sending offers and worrying about counter offers and so on.
So, like most people I have went on pinterest and youtube and went crazy looking at decoration inspiration and floor layout plans. Yes, I know, I should wait until I get a place to do all this but, heck, I get hyped and excited about potentials places and want to be prepared and have a plan in motion. Plus, I love shopping for decor with my friend.
I thought I would share with you all what I've been finding to be the most helpful in the process. I hope this helps you out!
*Note: I also want to mention that another thing I would do is make note of ideas that you like that others did in the property when going to open houses and/or property touring with a realtor.
Mr. Kate
My first one I'm going to mention is a couple that I invested in the most. The channel is called Mr. Kate.... She (Kate A.) and her husband, Joey, not only put together stunning rooms; they post about how they renovate their own home, DIYs and beauty videos too! I'm so glad my friend introduced me to this channel! Not forget, she also has a book cleverly called "Hot Glue Gun Mess" which I highly suggest. #CreativeWerido #MrKate #JoeyandKate #BecauseWhyNot
