My City Farm House 360 West Feature

The cedar shakes, heavily treed lot and large picture windows were love at first sight. This home had seen better days to say the least but I was still in love and exited to bring it back. I love a home with a story and the seller’s children and long standing neighbors were sure to fill me in. I purchased it through an estate but the woman was nearly 100 and had lived here since the 40’s. She was an avid antiquer and even featured in the Star-Telegram as an American Junker.

I call this my city farmhouse because thats exactly what it is. This home was built in 1926 and was the farmhouse on the Wells Dairy Farm. The home was sectioned off and the farm was sold to Carswell Airforce base to build base housing in 1940’s. So here it stands in all of its real farmhouse glory surrounded by 1940’s homes and just 3 miles from downtown Fort Worth. 

What an incredible and unexpected tribute to have My City Farmhouse featured in this months 360 West Magazine. As I am wrapping up this project and beginning a new one, this feature will be a lifelong keepsake.

I cant help but think about how This home holds such deep meaning to me. Not only was it my first real estate investment but my first renovation project that I decided to GC myself ;). This home is where I discovered a great love for renovations and interiors.  When I say it’s full of blood sweat and tears, I mean it. Not just from the incredible events and community that has gathered here but because I sanded and stained those floors myself!! Don’t get me wrong I had a lot of great help too!! This home will always have a special place in my heart. 

Why I Choose American Cancer Society

I love to give back and be connected to my community and its even more rewarding when you know where all of the fundraising dollars go. Cowtown Ball is so much more than an awesome Party. We have raised thousands of dollars that go directly toward cancer research each year.

I have countless friends and loved ones who have had their worlds turned upside down by this disease—Friends that have gotten to experience more birthdays through recovery and friends that have experienced loss. Both are so incredibly STRONG #strongerthancancer. I feel like serving on a committee where every dollar goes back to American Cancer Society is the very least I can do to honor and support their strength. 

Cancer research is so imperative. We are so close to meeting our goal this year and I hope you can help!
