house tour
Hey guys! Here’s my family and me.
My home is a serious Work-In-Progress. This blog is a journal of me trying to turn an ugly foreclosure into a beautiful home. We live in Austin, Texas. Here’s the house tour so far:

Thanks for hanging out in my home with me! Come back frequently for new updates as I continue to make this house a home.

Hey! I'm Allison Hepworth. Welcome to my blog. I love showing tutorials for cool crafts, DIY projects, renovations, and decorating. My family and I live in Austin, Texas. To find out more or to contact me click 















i’m still sad to see you guys leave……… i can’t believe about your balcony. that would really annoy me, too. especially when you probably want as much sunlight as you can get so you can have “real” light instead of light bulbs all the time.
I’m obsessed with celebs too!!!
Have you seen any around since you’ve been out there? Love that play set!
@Kristi Not really. Bummer. You’d think so though. The only celeb I’ve seen I actually met – Dr Ray from Dr 90210. That meeting made my week!
Just discovered your blog and I LOVE it! Also, my son has the same shirt your son is wearing in the last photo and I’m telling you, it’s my all-time favorite kid shirt!
No joke! I live in Dallas! Well, in Lake Dallas that is (about 30 min from Dallas)…perhaps one day, we can get together when you get back!

So the world gets smaller and smaller.
I’m the one who figured out we were in Mammoth Lakes at the same time. Then we found out we’re both living in Cali temporarily. My hometown?? Sherman, TX just north of Dallas. Met my hubby while living in Arlington and teaching elementary school. Married and moved to Portland. Now in SoCal for two more years.
We really should try to get together one of these days!
You’re in LA. We should get together? I’m not far from the airport….the big one.
Ignore me if I’m crazy – your house looks like my home town – Coppell, TX!
I was totally wondering how you put all those projects in a tiny apartment with children. Now, it totally makes sense!! Love all of your projects! Can’t wait to see what else you come up with once you get back home! I’m from Texas too!
Just joined your site! I love it…can’t wait to read more!
I’m from Kansas, but Texas has a piece of my heart.

I love that your husband is wearing a Chuy’s t-shirt! I love that place!
Austin? Me, too! I’ve come to your blog a few times here and there…sorry, I’m kinda slow.
Hi,
I just started following you and love your blog. I live in Tx too, Bryan/College Station. Can’t wait to read all your posts.

Just started following your blog! I love your home pictures.
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get four emails with the identical comment. Is there any way you may remove me from that service? Thanks!

Love a round coffee table! Where did you find the one in your family room?
Another Texas person…on the Brazos River, deep in the Heart of Texas!!
