(Editor’s note: This is the first part of a series exploring some of Watford City’s older homes and how they’ve been brought back to life.)

But inevitably, they fell too in love with it to part ways with it.
“It was a different house. We gutted it completely,” says Mitchell.
Today, as the couple gets to kick back cozily in their home, it’s quite like their own little fairy tale. But they’ll be the first to tell you that creating it was not.
