Another home staged! #homestaging #stagedhomes #interiordesign

Many times during renovations, we forget about the really important things like our water quality! There have been quite a few water issues here at the lake house, but thankfully I have partnered up with @Aquasana Water Filters to help get my water in check! I was able to install the RHINO WELL Whole House Filtration System that protects from bacteria, viruses, cysts and other contaminants commonly found in well water. The system came with an assembly kit that made installation quick and easy! Use code ASHLEY55 for 55% off all systems + free shipping on orders $49 or more #AquasanaAmbassador #wellwater #waterfiltration *Disclosure: TDS meters can pick up good minerals, as well as bad; for the best results when analyzing your water, utilize an official lab water test.

Guess What!? Your Dream Home doesn’t have to be your first purchase! I bought my first home back in 2013, at $165,000! I was a newbie Engineer and just getting into learning home improvement. I really didn’t have a clue about building equity and house appreciation, but during those next 5 years, I started learning carpentry and slowly begin making upgrades to my first home, until I started outgrowing the house and decided to upgrade to my dream home. I was able to use the equity of around $27,000 from that house to pay for the downpayment on my dream home! Now, I have since moved into the Lake House (which some of you may be wondering why) but this was also an investment move! After living in my dream home a year and 8 months, I was able to sell my dream home for $655,000 and profit $124,000, which led me to the lake house. I purchased the lake house for $645,000 but the only caveat is; THAT THING WAS UGGGLLLY!!! It had to be updated! But it came with a pool, an additional 2 acres of land and a 3,000 sq ft. shop, so I knew with a little sacrifice, I could turn it into my NEW dream home! Not only will I have a beautifully remodeled home in the end worth way more than what I purchased it for; but I’ve been able to also create a very lucrative income to help me fund my lifestyle as a content creator using this lake house as my canvas. So to make a long story short; you have to start somewhere. Your first home may not look like your Pinterest board, and you may have to put in a little extra work, but it’s a starting point for where you could be. With the raising prices of rates and homes nowadays, it can feel like a daunting thing! But you got this! #starterhome #dreamhome #buildingequity
