We bought a total fixer upper, and we’ve had so much fun making it ours. We fully renovated the kitchen, bathroom and family room, and the rest of the house got new floors and lots of paint on the walls and trim (which means we ate a lot of meals at that folding table you’ll see in the dining room ‘before’ photos). We have some more projects planned for the basement, laundry room, backyard, etc., but here’s our progress so far!
A lot of the ‘before’ pictures are blurry, but I feel like you can’t appreciate the ‘after’ until you see what we started with! (Even if you have to squint.)

KITCHEN/DINING ROOM:
We knocked down the wall between these two rooms and pretty much rearranged the kitchen. This might be my favorite room renovation we’ve done.
Get the look: Bar stools | Cushions | Curtains | Cabinet handles | Clock
Obviously some of these ‘after’ pictures are taken at different seasons throughout the year, but I wanted to pick ‘after’ pictures that were taken as the same angles as the ‘before’ pictures so it’s easier to see the changes we’ve made.
BATHROOM:
I love green, but the lime green had to go. We gave this room a coat of paint and some new fixtures, but we decided to keep the charming white and black tile. Some things are classic. And also, we were out of money, which turned out to be a good thing. It’s fun to have a room that has some of the original character of our house.
Get the look: Towel ring | Faucet | Mirror | Soap dispenser

FAMILY ROOM:
Okay, the kitchen is my favorite thing we did in this house, but adding patio doors and ripping off that wood paneling to brighten up this room is a close second.

Get the look: Ladder | Tan blanket | End table | Silver lamp
Get the look: Tan chair | Clock

PATIO/BACKYARD:
Bye to the big tree, hello patio.
Get the look: Outdoor couch | Outdoor rug | Tray | Wine cooler | Pillow
STAIRS/HALLWAY:
This is where my design loving self and practical self are most at odds. I LOOOVE the look of hardwood stairs, but we had them in our old house, and the noise drove me insane. So carpet it is.
BATHROOM:
We didn’t find this coral tile quite as charming as the white and black tile in the other bathroom, so this had to go. We also ripped out the linen closet to make room for a second vanity (more counter space!), and to this day, it’s one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
Get the look: Cabinet handle | Knobs | Baskets | Mirror | Light fixture
Get the look: Mirror | Toothbrush holder | Soap dispenser | Nightlight | Towel bar | Small basket
