Charles and Brooke Ramsey had been living and working in Pakistan, having been in south Asia for 17 years. Both are Baylor grads and were eager to get back to Waco and lead a settle life with their family. "It's just a really exciting time for us," said Brooke. "We feel like our kids are getting older, and our parents are getting older, and it's time to head back and rediscover our roots."
Their total budget was $355,000 so, after purchasing the farmhouse for $155,000, were left with a renovation budget of around $200,000. In terms of design preferences, the Ramseys wanted to retain the natural farmhouse feel, but also hoped to incorporate touches of two distinct styles they were both partial to — Moroccan and Scandinavian.
