Oak Street - Before & Afters
Kind of in a Winter rut over here. It’s day 7 million of the pandemic and its 19 degrees outside - yuck! so I decided to share some before and after pics of our house to remind myself just how far this little baby has come over the last 7.5 years.
EXTERIOR
The outside looks completely different from when we bought it, mostly because we doubled the size of it by adding on a family room, playroom, master bedroom, walk-in closets, and a master bathroom. Smaller things we did included adding the portico and columns to the front door, a new walkway, fencing the yard, and tons and tons of landscaping!

FOYER
The front entrance didn’t have as big of an overhaul as the exterior but the changes we made still had a huge difference. I painted the door, railings, spindles, door trim, light and stair kickboards. The hubby added the awesome tile as a Christmas present to me. I added hooks, and a small storage piece with some styling and we have a beautiful entry way!

BEDROOM 1
The larger of the kids bedrooms made some serious changes to over the years. We painted the walls and all the orangey oak trim which brightened it way up. Added moulding for interest, added an extra closet, widened it, and changed up all the furniture and decor. My girls love it now!

BEDROOM 2
This room started out as our guest room. It’s not Jack’s big boy room. We painted the walls a brighter color, moved the closets, replaced the orange oak trim, added mouldings, changed out light fixtures and finished it off with some little boy decor!

KITCHEN
Our kitchen technically isn’t finished so I don’t have a full “after” picture to show but still it’s come so far already that I had to include it here. The main change was taking out this awful wall that cut the kitchen off from the rest of the house. It already looks so much better. We are still waiting on lighting, countertops, and hardware.

Can’t wait to add the official after pictures of our kitchen once it’s all done! I’ll add more Before and After posts as we continue to update our spaces! We’ve been here almost 8 years and are still updating things as our time and BUDGET, lol) allows! Home takes time, so I’m trying to be patient, but it’s TOUGH!
