5 Before And After Photos I Love

May 3, 2016 By Layla

Hello! Each Wednesday I share some of the photos that stopped me in my tracks while I was scrolling Instagram the previous week. This week, I’d thought I’d re-post some of the pretty before and after photos I found…

1. @KatieNisbett‘s dining room:

Here’s another photo she posted of the space:

Love those white-painted planked walls and iron/rustic wood shelves! (I wish she had a blog, too!)

2. @ThePaintedHive‘s beach house bedroom:

3. @ThatsMyLetter ‘s master bedroom:

4. @NotTooShabby‘s kitchen:

Lisa’s caption read: “This is what our kitchen looked like before I painted the cabinets white, removed the upper cabinets, and added open shelving. I also switched out our old (yes, stunning) but way too big kitchen island. I plan on raising the bakers table to island height and replacing the top with marble!” Here’s a link to her post that has more photos of the space: White Kitchen Reveal

5. @DrivenByDecor‘s bedroom chair:

    Oooooh I just love before and afters and I would rate all of these very highly especially the top dining room transformation and that amazing ceiling makeover! huge difference. I even created a new Pinterest Board called Before and Afters so can’t wait to see more (although I know you will be soo busy very soon with number three on the way home) Enjoy it all-happy times…

    Enjoyed the before and afters. If I may be so bold, I think you might enjoy my blog.
    It’s repurposed4life.blogspot.com. I’ve done many before and afters, in addition to building things and recycling for a different purpose. I hope someday you can take the time to scroll through all the projects I’ve done. If you do, please let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend.

    I loved the changed ceiling look and planked walls. I want plank ceilings to cover popcorn in my place.
