A dated galley—a mix of arched cabinet doors, dark brick-style splashback, heavy grey floor tiles and patchy track lighting—has been reworked into a clean, modern corridor kitchen. The after photos show warm stained Shaker cabinetry, low-movement white quartz worktops, a softly contoured elongated-picket tile splash, wide light-oak planks underfoot and a disciplined grid of dimmable…

I love a project that turns a blank wall into a proper moment. This one began with a floating TV and a too-small console, and ended as a full, made-to-measure media wall with shaker fronts, floating shelves, a paneled TV niche, and that soft halo of bias light that makes everything feel… considered. Below is…

I stumbled on a thread titled “Before, during, after: our retro-inspired reno” on r/kitchenremodel and instantly got sucked in. The homeowners say they’re ~98% done after roughly six weeks, with a couple of light fixtures, trim, and the dining room floors left to refinish—which already tells you two things: the plan was tight, and the…

Before/After share: My take on the r/kitchenremodel post “Thoughts on how this remodel came out?”—what works, what I’d steal, and the tiny tweaks that would make a good kitchen feel great. What hooked me I clicked in expecting a standard “we finally finished!” post and left thinking, yep, this is how you make a space…

Every so often I see a remodel that gets the hard stuff right: it looks timeless on day one, it will still feel right in ten years, and it actually works for real life. This kitchen does exactly that. The homeowners committed to a clear vision—natural white oak, crisp white uppers, marble-look slabs, and soft…

I’m sharing this remodel because it captures my favorite kind of transformation: honor the house, upgrade the experience. The “before” was classic time-capsule—busy wallpaper, a failing ceiling, and a crowded checkerboard floor. The “after” keeps the soul (exposed brick! a vintage butcher-block table on casters!) while delivering modern function, clean light, and calm color. What…

I came across this living-room makeover and couldn’t keep it to myself. The homeowner built a custom media wall—complete with a large TV niche, an electric fireplace, and back-lit display cubbies—and the whole room now feels intentional, cozy, and high-end. Below is my write-up of what makes the project work and how you can replicate…

 A heartfelt kitchen remodel share: smart flow, layered lighting, calm colors, and storage that actually works—plus the lessons I’d borrow for my own home. I stumbled on a kitchen remodel story that hit me right in the feels, and I knew I had to bring it here. It wasn’t just the pretty “after” shots; it…

 I’m sharing a DIY stair remodel I loved: carpet to hardwood treads, clever hidden fasteners, code-aware dimensions, and practical tips from the builder’s comments. I came across a great DIY stair project on r/DIY and had to share it here. The homeowner (u/Djnick01) pulled up carpet, installed hardwood treads, and ended up with a clean,…

I recently came across an inspiring master bathroom remodel on r/masonry and knew I had to share it here. The homeowner (u/MrSteveB) tackled nearly everything himself over about four months of weekends, and the transformation is remarkable. The big swing? He removed an entire window to take full control of the lighting—then layered in a…
