Hello my friends! This month marks our three year anniversary in this house! I have had an absolute blast adding my touch to almost every room in our home — it brings me so much joy. As I do every year, I wanted to share how many of the rooms looked right after moving in, and how they look now.
Before and after posts are my FAVORITE! So here we go! I’ll link to a few of the projects from each space under the photos, but let me know if I miss anything.
Let’s start with our master, since it’s one of the rooms I worked on recently. It is a long room with a tall tray ceiling and a TON of windows. Here’s how it looked soon after moving in:
I did a LOT to this space last year — I wanted it to have a dark and cozy feeling.
After a lot of work it’s become our cocoon away from the world:
Our mud and laundry combo is one of my favorites in our house — it serves so many purposes and is BIG! Love it. Here’s the before:
And now, with a few details that have added some much needed character!:
Our kitchen has seen a BUNCH of smaller DIY project that make a big difference! Here’s how it looked three years ago:
And here are just a few of my favorite updates I’ve made!:
Extending kitchen island with chunky legs (without changing the countertop)
The foyer hasn’t received nearly as many updates, but the few I’ve done made a big difference! When we moved in, I placed the same furniture in the same spot as our last house:
It was lovely, I loved that blue dresser!
But I soon realized my style had changed and I wanted a different look:
My office has seen a ton of changes! This is what I started with:
We extended our hardwoods into this space first (our floors were discontinued right after we moved in 😞 but we were lucky to find some of the last boxes).
I added a HUGE bulletin board that I just love:
And built this wall of bookcases that makes a big statement and provides so much storage! I love them so much:
Our basement looked pretty great to start:
But I’ve been warming it up since then! It’s SO cozy down there!:

I talk a lot about our great room updates because 1.) we spend most of our time in here and 2.) it’s probably my favorite room in the house.
I don’t have a good before picture of this room, so here’s a pre-move in photo:
Here’s a view after adding some much needed drama!:
I continued that moody color into our dining area, or morning room as it’s called in our home plan. Here’s how it looked shortly after moving in:
And now with the dark walls and tons of character!:
And finally, one of the spaces we use the most! Last year we had a large patio poured in the backyard:
We love LOVE our backyard! It’s so big and has so much potential.
I’ve done a lot since that patio was installed:
How to hang heavy cafe lights over a patio (without trees)
This is truly our dream house…it fits our family so well and we are so in love with it. It has been SO MUCH fun to work on each space. Of course there are other rooms I’ve added to as well, but these were the biggies.
As always, thank you for following along! 🙂
