One year ago yesterday is the day I walked into our future home

It was not for sale. In fact the owner told me on the phone that it was not for sale and she had no plans to sell it. I went to look at it on 10-16-20 under the guise and renting it long time. Even though the house was in sad shape and the decor even sadder, that evening we had our real estate agent send over an offer. This is what it looked like at the time.

I found this house on October 16, 2020

I knew when I saw it, that even though it was outdated it was the perfect home for me. The challenge was it was not for sale. But everyhing has a price, right? I called my real agent and had her send an offer over to the owner. After a lot of back and forth and negotions the house was ours. We closed on Dec. 7, 2020 and immediately hired an architect, a contractor and an interior designer. So come along and follow me through this massive remodel. These pictures are from before we broke ground and how the house and furnishings looked when we bought it. The house was previously owned by Bobby Cavender who owns Land Rover/Jaguar in San Antonio.
