Stunning before and after transformations!

Meet:  Andrea, a self proclaimed design addict.  Her before and after home transformations are amazing.  Here are some sneak peeks.  Click the links to see the full original post with more pictures and all of the details. 
Kitchen and Dining Room Before
and now, after removing a wall, making one large room and changing spaces….
this is where the dining room was!

I love the white cabinets with the rich wood tones of the island.

and the dining room is where the kitchen was located in the first picture…
gorgeous!

the mudroom is right off of the kitchen…
I love when everything has it’s place (and it’s there!).

See more of this area of her home at The Heart of the Home. 
A bedroom becomes a bathroom and if I didn’t see the in progress pictures, I wouldn’t believe it’s even the same house let alone the same room!
Bedroom before…
Ready?  You won’t believe your eyes!
The same area is now a beautiful, spa-like retreat.
  
Rub your eyes.  Look again.  It’s still a beautiful dreamy bathroom!
Seriously, wouldn’t you love waking up and getting ready to start your day in here?
You’d find me here…getting all wrinkled…in a good way.  
See the details at Bedroom to Bathroom.
The living room before actually looks pretty decent in the photo at first glance…
But, they removed the wallpaper, drop ceiling, poorly designed built-ins, old oak flooring, mantel, huge wood burning stove insert and everything else in the room. Literally.  Makes the room sound terrible, doesn’t it?
They started fresh. As in this fresh….
Here is the amazing result. 
A quiet space to read, play, chat and entertain away from the family room. 
Reupholstered wingback chairs (fabric was $4 a yard!).
See more pictures and decor at Out With the Old. 
Andrea, you’ve done a super job! The transformation is unbelieveable – it’s a completely new beautiful home. I love what you’ve done. I love your style.  Thank you so much for inspiring us and sharing a bit of a home tour!

Coming soon – in order to fix the feed, the DIY Show Off will soon have a new look. Unsuccessful attempts have pushed me to switch to my own domain. Thanks for your patience and sticking with it while I work out the bugs. 🙂

Meet:  Misty ~ “We live in a 214-year-old house that belonged to my husband’s grandmother. We try our best to retain all of the unique characteristics of our home while updating and making it ours. It’s a lot of work (restoration, rewiring) and a lot of fun!”

Visit Misty to see the details of all of their HARD work!  They’re DIY super stars over there!
Awesome DIY Projects:
Outdated bathroom gets a pretty modern farmhouse style makeover! I love the new distressed black vanity and mirrors, pretty window (with a beautiful view) and the awesome barn door!
Complete demo, gut and rebuild…(brave!)
(Makes me wish we’d finally get our dining room track up so I can share. LOVE sliding doors.)  This bathroom barn door adds a farmhouse charm to her old house.
Great idea for kids’ art work too!
There’s more to see!  Pop over to say “Hi” to Misty and check out their great DIY projects! If you’re like me, Misty had you at 214-years-old.  I love the history, the many corner fireplaces, the beautiful floors, dutch door…I could go on and on. 🙂

Thanks Misty (and Charles) for sharing!  Your dedication and hard work is paying off – you’re putting new life into that old home and I love the transformation!  Great job!

Jeanne at Bees Knees Bungalow is all about DIY, paint and the awesome things it can do to refresh and improve a room.  They’ve done their whole home themselves including a wrap-around porch.  Here are a few of the transformations you can find at 
{Bees Knees Bungalow} 
Powder room before…
Is beautiful now (love the soft colors and the awesome floor)!

Small Bathroom – BIG Change

I have a thing for numbered stairs and Jeanne’s basement staircase is super cute…
Before, not so much…
And the door at the top of the stairs?
Now looks like this…
Love it!
See how she did it at 
Stairway to Basement
One more!  Here is her kitchen when they bought their home…
Yikes – she says that’s wood-grained carpet!
Now though, it’s an eating space full of personality with a pretty tin ceiling, wainscoting and painted diamond wallpaper-look! I see that same design at Ballard Designs!
Black Diamonds Done
Thanks so much for sharing your home, Jeanne!  I love what you’ve done!
