It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on my flip house adventures, and now seems to be a great time! The Skinny House After a delayed start given the previous owners wouldn’t leave, we had a smooth finish! The house was on the market for less than a week before we had multiple offers….

Flip House Tour Before & After | inbetweenchaos.com

I’ve mentioned my new little love of Briwax (check out my whole kitchen post here), but I thought it would help if I showed you some detail on how it worked. I should also mention that this is NOT a sponsored post; I’ve just loved the product and its results. The kitchen cabinets were in…

The Boardwalk Bench

August 13, 2017 · Leave a Comment

While riding our bikes down the boardwalk on a beautiful spring day, I couldn’t help but look at the boards themselves and think about all the character in them. The happy beach goers, the dropped ice cream cones, battering storms, and long spans of peace against the crash of the ocean. I was thinking how…

Flip House Update: The Home Stretch

July 29, 2017 · 3 Comments

Skinny House Update | inbetweenchaos.com

I’m sorry this is a little late!  I’ve been MIA lately while pushing to get this house on the market. We aren’t there yet, but soooo close! The little loose ends right before market time are always tough to tie up.  For example, the doorbell in the first pic 🙂 But we are almost there.  Almost. Here’s…

Flip House Update | Let there be Light! | inbetweenchaos.com

I’ve described myself as scatterbrained, forgetful… whatever you want to call it. My hubby helps keep me straight, but there’s only so much he can do. So I want to share with my readers who don’t know me (if there are any out there?!) an example so maybe you can see where I’m coming from….

Flip House Friday (and Naples and my bum)

June 23, 2017 · 1 Comment

Happy Friday! I missed last week as I was just coming home from a downright awesome trip with my husband to Naples, Florida to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.  And I’m not going to lie; it’s a week later and I’m still a little bummed it’s over. Naples is beautiful, and I loved the…

Skinny House Bath Inspiration Board | inbetweenchaos.com

Well, things are coming along at the Skinny House.  Slowly but surely!  We have a certain neighbor who keeps complaining to the town about our permit, and an inspector who seems to drop by at least every half hour.  I was actually mentioning him to my GC when, lo and behold, he drives by. Speak…
