style and real estate - suburbia - part 2 - the makeover

So my hints worked and my dear friend & her husband agreed to allow me feature their gorgeous New England home on the blog. I was so flipping excited when I saw her email pop up in my inbox with all the photos of the before and afters of their remodel. I have been in the beautiful home since the renovations but still cant quite get over all the images and amount of work that went into this project. Let me tell you these homeowners were the perfect people for the endeavor, she is the most organized person on the planet and he might be the most patient!  They sacrificed a kitchen for months, relocated two children from the city within a month of purchasing the home and lived in the game room of the house during the renovations. If I had to live like that, I sooooo would have gained 25 lbs from the amount of take out consumed and if I had children they would likely have been cooking their own meals in their easy bake oven. But not these fearless friends of mine, they made it all look easy. Feast your eyes on all the amazing before and afters below!

 I have to start with my favorite room of the house - the kitchen - how my friends turned this dark mess into the masterpiece it became is beyond me!

check out the amazing after - note the range and subway tile black splash,  I'm in love!


that's right - two islands & eat in kitchen table - genius for entertaining

family room after - dying over the exposed wood beams & massive fireplace


dining room before - sweet wallpaper


after - this dynamic duo are no joke right!


the second entrance to the house used to be a covered patio area between the garage and house


my brilliant friends turned it into the perfect mud room off their kitchen
