DIY Inspired Before and After Home Tour
We have made a lot of changes to our home since we moved in in 2012. Since then, we have painted the interior and exterior, redone the floors both upstairs and downstairs, made over the balcony and patio, and made over the staircase and mantel. Phew! I have written all about it but thought I’d share a before and after home tour post and then to see the full details of each, you can just click on through!
Let’s start with the whole house! Our home is Tudor style, which we like, but wanted it a little more updated so we changed it from brown and tan to black and gray.
On the outside we also did a mailbox makeover…
… and rebuilt the entire balcony.
At the back of the house we tore down and replaced the patio and added a fan and outdoor lighting.
I even gave my daughter’s playhouse a mini makeover.
The front door needed a little love as well, so we changed it from brown to black.
The floors downstairs were tile and carpet and we decided to go ultramodern with finished cement floors.
For the staircase and upstairs we went from carpet to pewter ash hardwood.
We also painted the staircase black.
Since we did the floors, we also had to change the mantel.
As far as the rooms go, this is our living room before and after…
… our dining room before and after…
…my daughter’s room before and after…
…and my sanctuary, the craft room before and after.
As you can see, we’ve been busy! I’m still working on the master bedroom too. Again, if you want to see the full details and a lot more pictures just click through the links! Thanks for taking my before and after home tour!
What a lovely remodel. It is very encouraging to see that it happens over time and that for most people their homes are still a work in progress. Looking forward to seeing your mast room remodel.
Thank you so much Judith! I’m still working on that! Need to find or DIY the perfect bed!
Wow, what a transformation! You have done such a great job with your renovations, Dinah. Everything looks stunning!
If you have a minute to spare I’d be thrilled if you could share this post at my weekly Sundays Down Under linky party which is on now. This would be a fabulous addition.
Bets wishes for a great week,

Beautiful home! You certainly put a lot of work into it. Changing the wood into black is definitely a good call. Thanks for sharing 🙂
