Whole House Makeover

This whole house makeover was very extensive to say the least. Though I did plan the entire design, I didn’t do all the work. Many parts of this renovation called for carpenters, but there still was so many fun and creative DIY projects I could do.

We made this house our home for years and loved it! The space and layout of the lower level lent itself wonderfully for me to have a small retail shop where I sold DIY products and taught painting and furniture refinishing classes. However, times have changed and we sold this property last year. To see what we now call home, check out this post: Making a New Home.
