It’s been 26
weeks since we first stepped into this lake home of ours. It surprised even me
when I counted that out just now. It’s come a long way in 26 weeks, and most of
that is in great thanks to Ryan, who sacrificed hundreds of hours and an enormous
amount of blood, sweat, and tears to transform it into the lovely place it is
now.
I am itching to
show you proper transformation pictures, but we’re still working to finish
unpacking, and we haven’t hung anything on the walls just yet. So it’s not ready
for its “after” pictures today, because it's not looking as spiffy as it will in just a little bit. But I thought I might show you what we saw when
we first walked through the house!
We shake our
heads and smile when we think about it now, because we remember melting into
puddles of goo when we first saw the space. And then we changed just about
everything and wondered why we were so smitten with what we saw!
Enjoy the befores...and I would love to know any guesses you have about what we changed!
This room has a whole long story behind it, but it ended up becoming our dining room!
I hardly recognize this bathroom now!
And another!
A kitchen with a gorgeous desk in the corner:

My guess for change: light fixtures, carpet and possibly taking down the paneling and replacing with drywall.
I'm hoping you were able to get rid of/paint the wood paneling and I'm guessing you added carpet. Can't wait to see pictures of the transformations!
I can't wait to see the after pictures. Knowing you both, it will be completely different now.
Oh wow!! I cannot wait to see it now. I bet the paneling is gone gone gone!
I love all your guesses! Some of you know me very very well! :)
I have zero sense of decorating so I don't even dare to guess, but I will say that I LOVE that corner kitchen desk and hope it has a nice view! For a Lake House I think the views are top priority so I would definitely want to replace any small windows in whatever main room has a lake view and put in a big ol' picture window like my Mom did to her house in Arkansas. She didn't have a lake view but with all the trees in the yard she wanted maximum light. Best decision ever. If your livingroom has a lake view, I hope it has a massive picture window. lol
