Before & After

THIS ROOM NEEDED JUST NEEDED A LITTLE LOVE

BEFORE

The homeowners weren't quite sure of which direction to take. The bed and chandelier worked fine but the room felt unfinished and lacked personality. With so many affordable peel and stick wallpaper options available, they decided to give the space a stylish refresh without the big price tag— proof that even small changes can make a big difference.

AFTER

A few simple updates brought the entire space to life. Fresh lamps added balance, textured wallpaper introduced  warmth and interest,  and layered white matelasse bedding created a clean, boutique-hotel feel. The result is a calm, inviting bedroom that feels complete and elevated—mission accomplished.


GROWING UP IN STYLE

This kids room needs an improvement for these growing boys

BEFORE

A playful boys' bedroom filled with bunkbeds, bold decor, and a cluttered layout— perfect to young boys, but now they're off to college. They are ready for a grown-up redesign that can double as a guest room.

AFTER

This once-youthful room was reimagine to feel sophisticated yet welcoming. Soft neutral tones, clean-lined furniture, and modern accents replaced the bold color and clutter, creating a calm, elevated retreat that feels timeless and effortlessly stylish.


WHEN CABINETS ARE TOO RED

Red Oak Kitchen-Before

The red-toned wood cabinets and granite counters gave this kitchen a heavy, dated feel. While functional, the traditional finishes made the space, feel dark and closed in—but the layout and potential were already there.

Saving thousand by just painting the kitchen cabinet rather than replacing.

Refreshed Kitchen-After

Proof that paint can transform almost everything. A fresh coat of soft neutral paint on the cabinets  instantly brightened the  space, modernized the style, and made the entire kitchen feel lighter and more open— without the cost of a full remodel. Sometimes, paint truly does 90% of the work. 

SHORT TERM RENTAL REFRESH: FROM THEMED TO TIMELESS

How to update a VRBO

Before

The bedroom featured dated, seashell bedding, heavy, valances, and yellow -beige walls that gave the space a tired, overly themed look. The furniture felt uninviting and lacked the fresh, welcoming polish, today's short term rental guest expect.

After

Refreshed with a soft neutral palette, neutral wallpaper, and crisp white bedding, the room now feels bright and boutique-inspired. Layered pillows, modern furniture, and simple draperies create a calm elevated atmosphere that's both stylish and inviting for guests.


PINK TUB GOTTA GO

Before

The original bathroom felt dated with its pink tub, dark wood vanity, and heavy finishes. The layout appeared cluttered and lacked clean, modern style today's homeowners expect—especially when planning to sell.

After

A sleek floating vanity, double mirrors, and soft neutral finishes completely transform this space into a spa-like retreat.  Updated lighting and simplified design elements make it feel larger and more serene. Bathroom (and kitchen) updates deliver the highest return on investment, and this one proves that a modern refresh can increase both every day enjoyment and resale appeal.


MAYBE YOU DON'T SEE THE POTENTIAL...BUT I DO!

Dated Kitchen

This kitchen felt dark and dated, with heavy wood cabinetry.  busy wallpaper, and low-hanging lights that made the space free closed in.  While functional, the design overshadowed the room's natural charm and potential.

After

Fresh paint, a lighter cabinet palette and a window treatment completely transform the space. While the original table could have worked with the new look, updating it to a lighter modern style completed the refresh and tied the whole room together. This transformation shows how  thoughtful changes can make a dramatic impact.


BEDROOM UPDATE

Before

While once elegant, the pink bedding, matching draperies, and traditional furniture made this bedroom feel dated and uninviting.  The heavy color scheme didn't align with today's fresh, modern rental appeal.

Much more inviting-VRBO bedroom update

After

Crisp white bedding, soft neutral tones and simplified furnishings gave this room a completely new life. The transformation feels clean, calm and current —perfect for showcasing in photos or attracting renters. This update proves how modernizing the color and texture alone can make a place feel high end and welcoming.
