After four months of renovations and four weeks of reveals, we’ve reached the end of our Cottage House Flip journey. Watch it all from start to finish:
I knew going in that it wouldn’t be a walk in the park, but nothing truly worthwhile comes easy. Between snowstorms, power outages and unexpected expenses, it was more of a challenge than any of us could have predicted—but some amazing opportunities and learning experiences came out of it.
In just a few short months, I’m much more prepared to take on the next one, and will continue to grow and improve through each new experience. I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
But for now… let’s do one final Before & After House Tour! (this is a condensed version—scroll to the bottom for links to each individual reveal, DIY projects and sources)

And as always, make sure to follow me on instagram and facebook for more frequent updates!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined me on this journey and lent me your support and encouragement along the way. There were more than a few days where I felt defeated, exhausted and wanted to quit, but I pushed through it and managed to not only survive, but stay on schedule and accomplish what I had set out to do.
As promised, I’ll be sharing a budget breakdown in a couple days for those of you curious about all the costs involved in house flipping. I was surprised by some of the results, and hope that by sharing my personal experience, people considering flipping (or renovating in general) will know more of what to expect.
See you in a few!

Lilie says
What does the back of the house look like? What does the front door inside entry look like? IS there a side porch as well because its not shown…AWESOME
jennasuedesign says
Hi Lillie, there’s a small porch area that was shown a few times (after being rebuilt as well) but it still needed a few paint touchups and isn’t all that exciting so it wasn’t included! You can see part of the side porch in the exterior reveal video — there were still some supplies/paint cans left in the very back so the entire thing also wasn’t included.
Annene Uys says
An absolute amazing flip. I followed every moment of your journey and love your energy and honesty during the whole process. You have the right to be proud of your end result. I am looking forward to many more flips.
Cindy says
Awesome!! Hope it sells soon, and can’t wait to see your next project.
Cherie says
Are you listing this home as a B&B? ? So many bedrooms! You did a fantastic job. I’d love to share this transformation on my Facebook page (Facebook.com/CDHDesigns). Can’t wait to hear about your next project.
