Since we moved four years ago, I had not even touched it. It still had the \"live, laugh, love\" wallpaper border that was just, quite frankly, dated. My goal was too keep the remodel inexpensive, easy, and fast.

The people who lived in the home before us left a lot of materials from their home improvements. When we ripped out the old vanity, I just cut and patched the rest of the bead board that wasn't getting covered with the vanity. We went with a tall 24\" vanity as opposed to our previous 30\" one. The main floor bath felt dingy and crowded so I wanted to give it as much space as possible. The bathroom vanity is \u003ci\u003enot \u003c/i\u003eone I would recommend but it fit our budget and with some new knobs, it was aesthetically pleasing.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u0026nbsp; Finally, the ever controversial luxury vinyl tile.

We had a quirky list and the home on the market here were going fast. We knew that we wanted a home with character, something that we could possibly make into a home we would love. I spent months watching things go on and off the market but still not finding anything that quite matched what we wanted. Last August, on a Friday I was doing my usual browsing, and I found a home in our price range, cute, and totally workable. That next day we were looking at the place, and the day after that, we were putting a continent bid on the Foxtail Home (which I'm now calling). The Foxtail Home matched the majority of out \"must have's,\" except a kitchen that over looked the living space.
