  1. WOW!! What fabulous before and after photos!! They did an amazing job transforming their home! Absolutely beautiful!

  2. Great transformations.

  3. What a beautiful home and a great transformation! I am loving the blue, the bath cabinet and the curtains in the baby’s room! Those are things that just stand out to me, but I love it all!

  4. I’m speechless … Kelly’s home is amazing! She sure had a great vision for these incredible transformations, and fabulous style. Love it!

  5. Such a pretty home and wonderful transformations! I love the plate wall that wraps around the corner. Thanks for sharing Kelly’s beautiful home with us, Debbie!

  6. Amazing transformation. She is one talented gal. I am off to visit her blog and sign up as a follower. Thanks, Debbie- xo Diana

  7. HI Debbie Dear! Oh, I just love these tours your give us each week. This is a stunning home and love the befores and afters. What vision they’ve had to redo those rooms. Now I’m wondering, in her office, where is the printer? We have to have printers! ;)
    Hope you’re having fun and you’re always a sweetie,
    shelia ;)

    • Thank you so much!! I had to jump in and let ya know – yes! We have all the ugly typical office stuff, but it’s hidden away in those cabinets. My husband has some kinda crazy setup where they’re all wired together inside the cabinetry. Actually our DVR and TV equipment are in those cabinets too, and the TV is on the other side of that same bookshelf wall, but he has it wired through the wall. No visible wires = happy wife. ;)

  8. WOW!! What a beautiful transition. I love that Mirrored Vanity in the bathroom and the staircase before and after is amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
