It’s time for some outrageously amazing before after projects!
As a home and garden designer, one of the most exciting things for me is a dramatic before after transformation. Especially when it is a DIY!
Now that we are house hunting, it is even more exciting to envision all the possibilities while looking at not so perfect spaces.

I love all these renovations! I’m not creative at all, so I can’t ever picture before and afters like this. These pictures give me some great ideas!

DREAMING of having an entry way… My house is super tiny, so the front door just opens into the living room, but these all look SO amazing! Want!

I love home makeovers! Apart from our first family home, when I was growing up our family moved around a lot so my parents would always be renting older houses and we would try to update each place we went to (as long as the landlords okayed it) by either painting the cabinets or walls or re-decorating. It was one of my favorite things to do and now that I have my own place, I get to choose how everything looks and it is heaven! All of these makeovers look great! 🙂
