THE MILD MILD WEST

Property #2

We purchased this 3-bed 2-bath Arizona home in June 2020 and have been renovating it ever since! Slowly but surely this house is becoming our home. We have completely gutted and remodeled our kitchen, taking down walls and opening the space right up. We moved our gas fireplace to center and build a stunning concrete surround. Stay tuned as we gear up for some new floors, paint, light fixtures, and did I mention new bathrooms? We are excited to take this Mild Mild West home from it's early 2000's vibes and spice it up to reflect an updated modern Spanish styled home!
