A five year before and after tour our home!
Join me as I share a before and after tour of our house! We’ve lived here for five years now…can you believe it?
I love looking back to see how much everything has changed over the years…it’s so fun to see the result of all of my DIY projects and updates.
It has been a labor of love to transform our spaces and it’s been so fun to share it with you along the way!
I’ll share links to the biggest projects in these rooms, but if you have a question about something in particular, let me know in the comments.
The very first space I worked on was our powder room. This is how it looked soon after moving in:

I tore everything out (and kept it for a future project) and installed cabinets instead:
The pantry is one of my all time favorite changes I’ve made to either of our homes! Having everything in the cabinets calms me when I walk in. 🙂 It’s been so much easier to keep organized as well.
I built and installed the IKEA Pax wardrobes and created a custom closet that fits my needs perfectly!:
Here’s how our kitchen looked early on:
I absolutely love all of the warm colors and textures in here. It’s a lovely place to work!
Our dining area is a casual space that is open to the family room and kitchen. I knew exactly what I wanted to build here before we even moved in:
The wall of windows was calling out for a window seat!
That deep blue Cyberspace color is my favorite! I’ve used it as an accent throughout our main level.
But it got even better, because after ordering they refunded some of my payment and I ended up getting it for 75 percent off!
This room needed some curves to soften it a bit…we just love it.
OK, I’m wrapping up this tour with two of our favorite rooms. Our family room is what made me fall in love with this house:
I was hooked when I walked in and saw the ceiling height and those great windows.
I still smile when I walk in this room, I’m so happy with it!
Our basement is our absolute favorite place to chill out at the end of the day. I’ve worked on SO many projects to transform that space.
This long wall in our basement before:
The kitchenette is next up down here and I’m SO EXCITED. I’ll share the plan and progress very soon!
I hope the changes I’ve made to our home inspire you to attempt new DIY projects or ideas. 🙂
If you’ve used any of my tutorials, feel free to send me a photo of your project! I absolutely love seeing how you all customize them for your own homes.
