The hack these DIYers used on their old 1990s vanity will blow you away.

It's hard to believe there's an IKEA piece hiding in there.

This redo proves the power of color.

Moving into a new home means that you get to start fresh with decor, and that’s doubly true when you’re working within a builder-grade home that offers mostly blank slates. For Amy Wadsworth (804 Sycamore), one of those blank slate spaces was her teenage daughter’s bedroom — a white room with beige carpet and lots of potential.“My daughter is 14 and wanted a more mature bedroom design that reflected her style,” Amy says.

You can't even tell it's IKEA anymore.

This redo is full of smart money-saving hacks.

It's still got some vintage flair, but now it's brighter and more functional.

Beneath those scuffs and stains lie lots of potential.

It's still tiny, but now it's functional.

This bathroom went from dreary to dramatic.

Best part? It's all DIY.

Stock up on these things just in case.

They're renter-friendly, too.

The "after" is a breath of fresh air.

It’s nearly impossible to renovate every room of your home at once, so some spaces have to wait a little longer than others for a transformation. At Michela Andrioletti’s (@casa_in_newyork) home that she shares with her husband, that space was the entryway. “We put in the first things we could find at the most affordable budget when we moved here five years ago and then we just didn’t have time to fix it,” Michela says.

You'll be obsessed with its new pillows.

It's all happy vibes in the after.

It's amazing what the right lighting can do for a space.

The space is way more organized now.

This mini makeover was transformative.

This DIY update looks totally high-end.

It's a complete 180.

Here's proof that you can sneak style into the most surprising of spaces.

The before? Nice, but too small. The after? A real stunner, and way more practical, too.

The secret weapon? Paint, of course.

Some of these glamorous upgrades can work in any room.

A big renovation just isn't always in the cards, since it usually involves a large budget, a lot of time, and plenty of work. But there are smaller fixes that you can make to a dated space while you wait to give it a full reno.

Hallways might be pass-throughs, but they deserve love, too.

Plus way more beautiful, to boot.

This renter got tired of staring at a plain wall, so she DIYed it beautiful.

They're unrecognizable now.

Knocking out a wall makes it feel way bigger, too, though the footprint stayed pretty much the same.
