Congratulations 🎊 on your mobile home. I see a lot of potential with this mobile home and it's definitely a Great size. You really got an Amazing deal. I just happened to stumble upon your channel. I just Subscribed to your Channel. Now, I'm officially a New Subscriber. I like your content. I can't wait to watch the renovation process. Great Video. Job Well Done. ❤😊
Please take us on this rehab journey with you. I am not sure what state you are in but with the rising cost of housing here in NC, I think what you are doing will be the next wave of smart living sort of like the van life movement for people who want a more economic living option but want to stay stationary.
I am a single gal and have been living in a trailer for the last 17 years, 12' X 55' from 1977. I am in Illinois too, so you need to prepare that thing for the Winter. Your furnace is a Coleman which is the common one for trailers. The door looks clean and there will be a manufacturing date on it with the model #. Mine is 20 years old and still works fine. Your windows look very thin, and the heat will go right out of them and your furnace will come on every 2 minutes. You will need a really good space heater that you can keep by you to stay warm so that the furnace does not keep coming on. The problem is your fuse box. Very old and will need to be updated, I had to do that 5 years ago when my breaker box just shut off all power when it blew a breaker. Cost me $1,000 to get a new box. You do not need a full-sized stove in the kitchen for just yourself. My kitchen is a 12' X 10', so getting rid of my stove gave me more room. I have a toaster oven and a countertop oven that work for me. For cooking, I use a single burner cooktop, that I can tuck away when I am finished. You will love having your own place that you can fix up exactly as you want that you could not do while renting.
I bought a rat infested, water damaged 600sq ft home when I was 19. Worked hard, learned a lot. Four rehabs and 30 years later I do not regret by first home, it was a great experience. You can do it!!!
While its exciting to want to start fixing up the inside, start with your roof and windows, getting them sealed up/repaired. Lots of videos to watch and mobile home parts supply warehouses to find cheaper doors, windows, sinks, electrical supplies, etc...Looking forward to see what you do with it.
I mobile homes from the 50’s seem like they are so much heavier and well put together. It’s going to be beautiful when you get it fixed up. Congratulations!
Yes indeed. That was part of the reason I went through so much trouble to get it moved🤕 the age and weight were a concern to the dealership but once she’s fixed up, it will be much easier to transport. Thanks for watching ❤
Congratulations I just brought a double wide home with 5 rural acres for 60K cash from my great uncle im almost finished renovating im a 28yr old black man its been a journey working on my home but god pushed me through! & I should be finished before the end of the month i been renovating for 6 months on a serious budget I wish I would’ve started a channel showing the home and its condition before and after 🤦🏽♂️😂 but ayy congrats to you keep grinding n giving updates I will support your channel 100 percent 💪🏾
I highly recommend a full renovation. New wiring, plumbing, floors right down to the frame, new insulation, sheetrock, lighting, appliances, new insulated windows, new metal roof. You'll spend between $25k to $40k but it will be worth it. You could possibly have it paid off in a very short time and then be monthly debt free. I did the exact same thing you're about to do and believe me it is 100% worth it. I am now debt free. Only thing I have to worry about now is insurance & property taxes.
Congratulations beautiful. I’m a 30 y.o. mother of 3 and just purchased a shuttle bus a month ago. Ooooo the excitement. Please continue sharing your journey with us.
The sink is in excellent condition.....you could replace the plumbing part of it....the metal drain in the sink. The sink itself please keep it! It's super cool.
@@kioflife, mix a capful of 3% peroxide with a cup of Grease Lightning. Leave on for a few minutes and it should be good! Gets welding fingerprints off a white fridge, so whatever is on there shouldn't be a problem.
Cute! The kitchen sink might be fine, needs to be cleaned obviously. I think you will need to replace the drain (and the plumbing), which is what looked scary and gross. Love the built in dresser & desk/vanity! Those are the details that will keep that vintage look, even if you renovate the walls and flooring. I can't wait to come back later and see what you are doing with it.
I had an older MH back in the 80s, when I was married to my first husband. Both of my kids were babies, a year and a day apart. Two cribs fit back to back. The dresser was built in and I loved that! My dad wallpapered the paneling with cute paper and it turned out adorable. I’m divorced, and living in a new one now, which needs work, like the kitchen subfloor needs replaced. I’d love to be able to figure out how to do it myself! Be sure you add some kind of mesh wire around the bottom, otherwise squirrels or other critters could mess up any insulation underneath. I have white brick around mine, but mesh wire behind it, and 2 access doors made with wood and mesh. Can’t wait to see your progress!
@@kioflife it really was! The kitchen cabinets had a line routed around the front, like a border, so I got a little copper color metallic paint, and painted it. It looked so good! Enjoy the renovation!
I ❤ this home!!! My first home was a 10x 50 trailer!!! I loved it!! It was a two bedroom. One in the front and the 2nd bedroom was in the back. Living room and kitchen then bathroom. As with yours the dressers were built in in each bedroom. My favorite!!! The bedrooms were so small only a full size bed fit, barely!!! The back bedroom held a crib. Not much room. I was a single mom and I paid $160 a month for it. It was made so solid!!! Plus it was very well insulated and so warm in the winter!! Michigan girl here!! We lived in that place for a year and a half. I wish I could find one again like it!!! Once again I love your home and can’t wait to see what you do next to it!!!
I live in rented in the UK and prices are sky rocketing! We dont tend to have RV or Mobile home sites like you do in the US, but I wish we did! I would love to do what youre doing, and good for you! Don't get in that rat race if you can help it! Own your own! Well done... look forward to watching you change it into a lovely little home. Good luck!!
Could you see if you could open up a mobile home park in the UK? Some mobile home sites are really nice. We lived in one that had a clubhouse, swimming pool, and tennis court. Went back to see it last month, and it is even better looking now. It was kept up really well!
She is stunning! This was a very smart choice. With love and hard work, you can transform her into a lovely home of your own. Rent and mortgage free! 👍
It’s fabulous ! I hope you keep it all original. Decorate it in period furniture, and curtains and everything. You have a project on your hands. Don’t give up on it because it can be daunting. They make retro Formica for your countertops, and vct tile is probably the closest thing you can get to original flooring. It comes in all colors and is indestructible. Plus you can wax it to a mirror like finish. These vintage trailers are very sought after. You really got something cool !
That place has lots of potential. The best part is you can basically put your own personal touch on it with a renovation. Just now found your channel and can’t wait to see what you do. Best of luck on your journey.
I love this trailor! especially the front windows. Once you get her renovated and cleaned up, she will shine like a jewel. They were wasting your time blabbing about moving your trailor but then they had other things to do. I wish you all the best in getting your home set-up and I look forward to future videos. 😊
I LITERALLY JUST CAME ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL AND I LOVE THIS FOR YOU! I'M INVESTED IN THIS AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW YOU TRANSFORM THIS! I stayed in a Tiny Cabin back in Oct 2023 and it has seriously something that im interested into living in. SOOO KUDOS AND GOOD LUCK SIS!
Glad to hear you're 'packing' ... My grandmother once lived in a trailer like this. After she moved, my dad took the trailer and used it as a base and added his house to it ... the old trailer is now the kitchen, bathroom, and cedar closet of the new home ... I am so happy for what you're doing.
Ki your channel popped up on my feed, and l love your home. It reminds me so much of 1950s Palm Springs and l love her. I can't wait to see you transform her.
Congratulations!! A good cash flow plan, some love and a lotta elbow grease and you got yourself not JUST A HOME, but FREEEDOOOOMMMM!!! So happy for you!!!!
I love my mobile home. !!!! If you don't like painting, peel and stick paper looks awesome. If you get tired of it, peel it off. Nice electric fireplace for heat and coziness. You will have a beautiful little home. It's yours and you can do whatever you want with it.
Congratulations sister you did nothing wrong, I purchased a fixed and update a camper 19'ft girl my floors was the first that had to be fixed, I'm still in it for 3 years no Rent and happy, so you enjoy yourself take your time to do it right the First time, but you going the right way, you have a Blessed day 😊🎉❤
I can’t wait to see what you do with it! A friend of mine bought a 1970s mobile home and remodeled it and it looks amazing!!!! And she owns it outright. She took her time and redid the electrical, plumbing, walls and floors. Pretty much gutted it lol but so worth it!
Congratulations on your new home I can't wait until you make her home. She's beautiful I love the color. Blue is one of my favorite color. 1. Magesty because she is regal. 2. Blue Magic, 3. Misty Blue, 4. Blue Velvet, 5. Skye Blue, 6. Blue Diamond. Whatever you call her she's going to be beautiful. 🙏🏾💙🩵🙏🏾
The kitchen sink can be reglazed, and done in a color other than white. The thing you thought was some kind of a circuit breaker, is a fuse box. It will need to be upgraded to a circuit breaker when the home gets rewired. I would suggest you have your home professionally insulated with spray foam, and then drywalled. I don’t know if radiant floor heating can be installed in a mobile home, but it definitely makes a regular house cozy in the wintertime. A half mini-split a/c - heater unit is another option. That way, you can get rid of that tall air intake situation, and use the space it occupies, for storage. I agree the gas stove should go. Now that I have two air fryers, I rarely use my oven. Unless you absolutely have to have a tub, I would suggest installing a shower stall, and give the bathroom a spa-like feel. The possibilities for styling your new home, are endless.
She’s in amazing shape for her age. In high school we lived in a trailer identical to this and the front 2 bedroom were built in bunks with a jack and Jill bathroom. I would totally live in this. 🧡🧡
Nice its beautiful when you get finished remodeling it people going to be jealous I would love to see it when it's finishes Congratulations young Lady. I love the name blue bell❤
Congratulations! So sweet to see your excitement and the vision you already have for your space. Looking forward to seeing the progression of it all. Subbed!
My parents had a similar one in northern Michigan. Can you believe we had 4 kids that slept in the living room floor. We ended that place for about 40 yrs. Congratulations it's beautiful!! It will be.
Your own home, and what a gem she is! The exterior color is perfect. And what a sensible, comfortable layout it is. Do you have a location/space you will move it to live in? Those big windows make it light inside but, unfortunately, will make it almost impossible to stay warm in the winter and summer heat will be uncomfortable. You might be able to find someone who rehabs old rv/mobile homes with those windows for advice? You'll figure it out. Insulation, under, over and in outside walls will help but windows either drain or reduce energy usage. I would keep everything that isn't damaged. Remove everything carefully... not like the smash and crash house flippers do. Reuse, repurpose to save money and keep the original vibe. All the cabinets and hardware need cleaning but look to be in good shape. You should be able to find a new mirror to replace the side that is broken. Those light fixtures are so pretty. You could get the toilet clean and just buy a new seat but it would save you money in the long term to buy one that uses less water. Like others suggested ... start with the boring but necessary parts, roof, windows and any outside damage where weather or the new inside work could get runined. Enjoy the process of creating your very own home!
I grew up in a mobile home with lots of windows, which made it great in summer because there was lots of cross ventilation. In the winter, we had snap on glass panels that we attached to all the windows from the inside of the mobile home. They came with the home. They created a nice air barrier between the panel and the louvered windows. We never had any problems staying warm in those cold Missouri winters. And that trailer was built in 1963 not much later than yours. So maybe you could find some glass panels to attach on the inside of the windows like we had. Just a thought. Your energy is wonderful and I will you all the best!
@@Rdalemurpho I don't live in a mobile home but have in the past ... a very old single wide with a factory extension off the living room, and a newer DW. I was providing advice, as other posters have done. Like all unsolicited advice, she will do what she chooses for any reasons important to her. Enjoy your day.
Girl. that is a true vintage mobile home. You can repair anything in it and it will last 100 years or more. The wood can be replaced. Do not let them discourage you. It is beautiful. You can make that mobile home any thing you want it to be. I cannot believe you found that on Facebook market place! That is an heirloom master piece. KEEP IT. You have time. Just take your time.
@@kioflifeof course the trailer has a lot of problems. But a trailer or something you can fix, no one person can fix a city. You made a logical decision.
Girl do you. I do not know you but as a older black lady I am proud of you. This is what you called luxury. Once you get everything together I would love to send you a house warming gift. Make sure you fix it good for the winter. You guys get that deep deep snow lol 😂 😂
Congratulations my love. I'm gutting out a 1958 camper. If you will have snow load on roof, I recommend putting in extra bracing in roof. I noticed on my old camper that the electrical connections were not encased in an electrical box and the bare wiring was up against insulation. Will definitely be redoing that.
Congratulations! There are a couple mobile home remodel and repair groups on Facebook. They are so helpful answering any questions. Plus so many interesting pictures and ideas. I love vintage too and have lived in a vintage mobile home for 6 years. I had vinyl plank flooring installed after the old carpet was removed. Love it and it looks like wood plank flooring. 😊
I’m renovating my 65yr old home from my parents and I’m a drafter/designer; and that is gorges, magnificent in it own style, proud of you, woman to take that chance as a young woman; you can do it!!! 😇🕊️🔥🔥🙏🙏♥️ God Bless
Once you get her fixed you will be in love for life. I had an 18 foot by 8 wide built in the 1940's and loved her dearly. She became the victim of a hurricane. I live in Florida. Name suggestion - Serenity. Mine was named Clyde. Update that box, they are the old fuses way before breakers. I love the original built ins, they normally don't survive. I totally get you with the swoops and oops, they have no style. I was born one year after she was built.
Congratulations!🎉 ❤ Great choice and love the uniqueness of your new home. I wish you many blessings on your renovation. I know it’s gonna be dope just like you. 🤗
I love your your retro mobile home! All the windows, its so cozy. The color is perfect. I can't wait to see what you do to it . I just subscribed . Happy for you! I also live in a mobile home. Been sprucing mine up. Very cozy. I had two brand new big homes in the past and my desire to be free from controlling and bad behaviors in men and to live affordable and with a small yard and space . I love it and so will you! You are going to have sooooo much fun!!! Sweet young girl.
Congratulations! I love it and hope you do another video when you complete the remodel. I love vintage, too. I was born in 1957, so am happy to see this home made the year I was born. Sam’s club has a very nice vintage looking refrigerator in several sizes that you might want to check out. They even have it in the light blue.🌷💐
Oh I love this!! I’m so excited to see what you do with it! I love all the character she has. She needs a peacock Chenille bedspread.😊 Congratulations on your new home!!
Congrats!! How lucky for you to find this gem. I love the old vintage trailers, they have character and style. Can’t wait to see the finished project:)
You Go Girl!! Work your Magic !You Can Win! You are Saving Massive Money and that mobile home has SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!! I love what you have done! Don't let ANYBODY knock you i subscribed to your channel after watching your shaky video 😂
That beautiful trailer just got you a new Sub. I can't wait to see what you do with it. I also love the idea to put it on your own land. I'm so happy to see more young people doing this. Congratulations 💜
I love it. The floors looks beautiful. I hope you are able to keep some of the original decor. Can't wait to see your progress. You are a very smart young women for thinking outside the box.
OH MY GOSH!!! I am so excited for you! Love, love, love vintage also! We purchased a 1964 15' camper several years ago, she is so sweet. Original teal refrigerator, stove and heater. Even when not camping, I will sit inside her and enjoy reading or have a drink. Take your time and don't let negative talk get you down. You can do this! There are so many people who have experience in all fields to assist answering your questions. And RUclips has some great information from many qualified craftsmen. It's a journey. I look forward to seeing upcoming videos. Good luck and enjoy each step of progress !
Ki of Life I came across your video....I love vintage....love your new home, I know you are going to FUNK it out...I want an AirStream myself...but please show your progress... that will be fun to see!!!!! All the money you will save on rent you will have your spot all fixed up in no time.
Hope the Good L-rd blesses you and you have success in your new home! I love the vintage vibe of the 50's as well in home decor and oooh don't get me started on women's clothes! ( LOL)
New Sub here. I'm so so proud of you & happy to have seen your channel. Can't wait to see what you do with your new (I'm assuming) DEBIT FREE HOME; if not, very soon to be. I love love it!! I've seen so many transformations & they're so inspiring to watch. I'm so excited for you! I'm searching for land & at this time, at 63🙌🏿, yes, I bought a box truck to convert into an RV until growth. Baby, do you & like me, let the Holy Spirit guide you. Don't take in the negative nay sayers. They'll be paying thousands per mo. & you will be living your dream debt free. Keep growing & keep life moving. Much love. 💕🦁🙌🏿
Wow this is cool! I give you a lot of credit for buying something, and doing it over the way that you want it! I wish I was that handy. (maybe watching other people, like you, can help fix that). I wish you love and luck with your new place!! Thank you for sharing!!
Congratulations your new home , trailer . Take your time to fix up and redo . You will be happy to living there . Great deal you bought it old mobile home Trailer . I’m from Iowa Hawkeyes. Nice to meet you your RUclips . Marla
I love it! Girl after my own heart! I know what you mean about people backing out at the last minute. I bought two a month ago and have yet to get them to the country 😢. Great job ❤
Love it! Congrats!! I also own a retro mobile home from 1957, in PA. I have renovated it some (also on a budget). And I furnished it in a mid century modern style.

Thanks for watching❤ sorry again for the shaky video. In the next video, I'll have my equipment so yall are not dizzy watching 😅
Hi Beautiful, if you don't mind can you tell how much you paid for it? Just curious. This is a really nice one!
@michellemorgan7662 it was $2k for the whole home. An amazing deal🤗

Thank you for sharing. I love hearing other people's experiences with vintage mobile homes
Sound advice.
How about an all singing all dancing air fryer so you can bake and grill also
You really don't need a stove anymore. Convection ovens do a lot more.
I bought a rat infested, water damaged 600sq ft home when I was 19. Worked hard, learned a lot. Four rehabs and 30 years later I do not regret by first home, it was a great experience. You can do it!!!

Ki your channel popped up on my feed, and l love your home. It reminds me so much of 1950s Palm Springs and l love her. I can't wait to see you transform her.
Congratulations!! A good cash flow plan, some love and a lotta elbow grease and you got yourself not JUST A HOME, but FREEEDOOOOMMMM!!! So happy for you!!!!
I love my mobile home. !!!! If you don't like painting, peel and stick paper looks awesome. If you get tired of it, peel it off. Nice electric fireplace for heat and coziness. You will have a beautiful little home. It's yours and you can do whatever you want with it.
Congratulations sister you did nothing wrong, I purchased a fixed and update a camper 19'ft girl my floors was the first that had to be fixed, I'm still in it for 3 years no Rent and happy, so you enjoy yourself take your time to do it right the First time, but you going the right way, you have a Blessed day 😊🎉❤
Congrats! Looking forward to watching what you do with it 👍🏻👍🏻
I can’t wait to see what you do with it! A friend of mine bought a 1970s mobile home and remodeled it and it looks amazing!!!! And she owns it outright. She took her time and redid the electrical, plumbing, walls and floors. Pretty much gutted it lol but so worth it!
Congratulations on your new home I can't wait until you make her home. She's beautiful I love the color. Blue is one of my favorite color. 1. Magesty because she is regal. 2. Blue Magic, 3. Misty Blue, 4. Blue Velvet, 5. Skye Blue, 6. Blue Diamond. Whatever you call her she's going to be beautiful. 🙏🏾💙🩵🙏🏾
We are a retired disabled veteran family and we found ours on facebook also a vintage skyline mobile home 1958 in central Florida
The kitchen sink can be reglazed, and done in a color other than white. The thing you thought was some kind of a circuit breaker, is a fuse box. It will need to be upgraded to a circuit breaker when the home gets rewired. I would suggest you have your home professionally insulated with spray foam, and then drywalled. I don’t know if radiant floor heating can be installed in a mobile home, but it definitely makes a regular house cozy in the wintertime. A half mini-split a/c - heater unit is another option. That way, you can get rid of that tall air intake situation, and use the space it occupies, for storage. I agree the gas stove should go. Now that I have two air fryers, I rarely use my oven. Unless you absolutely have to have a tub, I would suggest installing a shower stall, and give the bathroom a spa-like feel. The possibilities for styling your new home, are endless.
She’s in amazing shape for her age. In high school we lived in a trailer identical to this and the front 2 bedroom were built in bunks with a jack and Jill bathroom. I would totally live in this. 🧡🧡
Nice its beautiful when you get finished remodeling it people going to be jealous I would love to see it when it's finishes
Congratulations young Lady.
I love the name blue bell❤
I'm in Wisconsin and I can't wait to see the reno. I love those glass cabinets by I'm guessing the hutch and I love your personality!!
Congratulations! So sweet to see your excitement and the vision you already have for your space. Looking forward to seeing the progression of it all. Subbed!
My parents had a similar one in northern Michigan. Can you believe we had 4 kids that slept in the living room floor. We ended that place for about 40 yrs. Congratulations it's beautiful!! It will be.
A little elbow grease and love goes a long way. Im excited for you. Can’t wait to see the progress. Congratulations on the home 🎉🎉🎉
Your own home, and what a gem she is! The exterior color is perfect. And what a sensible, comfortable layout it is. Do you have a location/space you will move it to live in?
Those big windows make it light inside but, unfortunately, will make it almost impossible to stay warm in the winter and summer heat will be uncomfortable. You might be able to find someone who rehabs old rv/mobile homes with those windows for advice? You'll figure it out. Insulation, under, over and in outside walls will help but windows either drain or reduce energy usage.
I would keep everything that isn't damaged. Remove everything carefully... not like the smash and crash house flippers do. Reuse, repurpose to save money and keep the original vibe. All the cabinets and hardware need cleaning but look to be in good shape. You should be able to find a new mirror to replace the side that is broken. Those light fixtures are so pretty. You could get the toilet clean and just buy a new seat but it would save you money in the long term to buy one that uses less water.
Like others suggested ... start with the boring but necessary parts, roof, windows and any outside damage where weather or the new inside work could get runined.
Enjoy the process of creating your very own home!
I grew up in a mobile home with lots of windows, which made it great in summer because there was lots of cross ventilation. In the winter, we had snap on glass panels that we attached to all the windows from the inside of the mobile home. They came with the home. They created a nice air barrier between the panel and the louvered windows. We never had any problems staying warm in those cold Missouri winters. And that trailer was built in 1963 not much later than yours. So maybe you could find some glass panels to attach on the inside of the windows like we had. Just a thought. Your energy is wonderful and I will you all the best!
@@Rdalemurpho I don't live in a mobile home but have in the past ... a very old single wide with a factory extension off the living room, and a newer DW. I was providing advice, as other posters have done. Like all unsolicited advice, she will do what she chooses for any reasons important to her. Enjoy your day.
I’m so Happy for you!! Just subscribed and excited to see your process of fixing up this Baby!! ❤❤❤
Girl. that is a true vintage mobile home. You can repair anything in it and it will last 100 years or more.
The wood can be replaced. Do not let them discourage you. It is beautiful. You can make that mobile home any thing you want it to be. I cannot believe you found that on Facebook market place! That is an heirloom master piece. KEEP IT. You have time. Just take your time.
Yes, True Vintage. I'm so excited and no one can take my joy. Thanks for watching 😊
@@kioflifeof course the trailer has a lot of problems. But a trailer or something you can fix, no one person can fix a city. You made a logical decision.
Girl do you. I do not know you but as a older black lady I am proud of you. This is what you called luxury. Once you get everything together I would love to send you a house warming gift. Make sure you fix it good for the winter. You guys get that deep deep snow lol 😂 😂
Congratulations my love. I'm gutting out a 1958 camper. If you will have snow load on roof, I recommend putting in extra bracing in roof. I noticed on my old camper that the electrical connections were not encased in an electrical box and the bare wiring was up against insulation. Will definitely be redoing that.
I love it..I would decorate in vintage furniture etc!!❤❤
Yes!!!! Even the vintage toaster, microwave and fridge.
I love that fabulous design feature up by the ceiling over the divider between the living area and the kitchen. Beautifully retro!
Congratulations! There are a couple mobile home remodel and repair groups on Facebook. They are so helpful answering any questions. Plus so many interesting pictures and ideas. I love vintage too and have lived in a vintage mobile home for 6 years. I had vinyl plank flooring installed after the old carpet was removed. Love it and it looks like wood plank flooring. 😊
I’m renovating my 65yr old home from my parents and I’m a drafter/designer; and that is gorges, magnificent in it own style, proud of you, woman to take that chance as a young woman; you can do it!!! 😇🕊️🔥🔥🙏🙏♥️ God Bless
Just love it💕 making it your own is going to be wonderful ❤️❤️❤️❤️ can’t wait to see your future build.
First time on your page and I am so happy and excited for you. So much potential love your space. I will be tuning in for the updates 😊
I’m so happy to hear you love vintage/antique! Can’t wait to watch the reno process!
Looking forward to your future vids on this project!!! My congratulations 🎉🎈🎊
All I can say is wow, congratulations! I am excited for you, new subscriber here,,,and can’t wait to see your progress.
Once you get her fixed you will be in love for life. I had an 18 foot by 8 wide built in the 1940's and loved her dearly. She became the victim of a hurricane. I live in Florida. Name suggestion - Serenity. Mine was named Clyde. Update that box, they are the old fuses way before breakers. I love the original built ins, they normally don't survive. I totally get you with the swoops and oops, they have no style. I was born one year after she was built.
Love your new home. Love that you are so excited. I will pray that everything goes smooth for you and you finish early so you can move in quicker.
i love it for you.your excitement for a new chapter in your life is amazing. cant wait to see the rebuild. good luck

Sam’s club has a very nice vintage looking refrigerator in several sizes that you might want to check out. They even have it in the light blue.🌷💐

I've seen so many transformations & they're so inspiring to watch. I'm so excited for you!

Don't take in the negative nay sayers. They'll be paying thousands per mo. & you will be living your dream debt free. Keep growing & keep life moving. Much love. 💕🦁🙌🏿
Wow this is cool! I give you a lot of credit for buying something, and doing it over the way that you want it! I wish I was that handy. (maybe watching other people, like you, can help fix that). I wish you love and luck with your new place!! Thank you for sharing!!
