Jamie bought his first investment property around the time he met Morgan. She recalls being blown away by his talents and offered the idea of starting a blog. Not long after launching construction2style, the Molitors quickly started getting custom furniture and remodeling inquiries. Jamie took the plunge and dove full time into running his own general contracting interior residential remodeling company.

Today, Morgan is the designer and brand developer behind c2s. She oversees all content creation, manages the brand partnerships, is the writing guru, and lead interior stylist. She also heads up their online education courses and in-house monthly marketing workshops.

construction2style continues to exist as a home improvement resource blog. The Molitors offer contracting, design, styling, and marketing services along with home decor products. With 1.8 million monthly views as of this conversation, the c2s blog is clearly a popular and trusted source for marketing strategies tactics among those in the industry.
