A Dream Home Renovation
I’ve been so excited to share with y’all the incredible story of the Sam Bass Project for a long time now! Here we go!!
About two years ago, we were approached by a Southlake realtor to check out this house that her client wanted to sell! The client was interested in doing a bit of a face-lift on the interior of a 1970’s, 3-level, lake-front home in Southlake. We viewed the house, dreamed dreams, submitted a design and a proposal, and waited.
Our proposal was actually THREE TIMES bigger than any of our projects we had done at the time! We were SO EXCITED for the opportunity to tackle such a huge project! We had our entire family praying hard for this opportunity, as we knew it could truly be life-changing!
We waited for a few weeks, then checked in with the client, then waited a few more weeks. Unfortunately, we never heard back from the client again. The disappointment was so heavy. Y'all know the feeling. Working hard to achieve something great, putting your best foot forward, giving it your very best, all for nothing. The disappointment didn’t just have to do with the client never responding to us again, it also totally had to do with praying so hard for something and it being denied, and we KNOW y’all have been there too.
8 months later, this sweet, energetic, super joyful woman sneaked into the store! She quietly poked around, smelling candles, looking at pillows, the usual until she finally made her way to the back and harmlessly mentioned, “We’re thinking about maybe buying a really interesting house on Sam Bass Ridge in Southlake and having it renovated.” I immediately started squealing!!
I rushed to the back room, where I had saved our presentation that included inspiration photos and pricing, and handed it directly to her!! “Not only do we want to renovate this house, but we actually already have a plan put together!!!!” We asked if the realtor had sent her to us, and she explained that the realtor hadn’t said a word about us having an entire proposal for the property. This sweet woman had just stumbled across us on Instagram and decided to pop into the store!
So much squealing! The huge opportunity was back on the table!
We received the opportunity to work on this incredible home, and this incredible design, because 2 faithful people took a chance on 2 girls and their dad to work their tails off and make this family’s dreams a reality. WHAT A BLESSING WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN!
Now, in 2019, we get to walk confidently into any project, in any house, with any clients, because of the experience we gained and the lessons we learned from Sam Bass.
