House

Here's proof that you don't have to rip everything out and start new.

The designer-homeowner used a pop of color in an unexpected place.

An IKEA hack, materials rescued from the trash, and plenty of Goodwill shopping all help make this bedroom feel like an oasis.

The homeowners mixed DIYs (and IKEA cabinets!) with pro work to get the kitchen of their dreams.

Tweaking the layout made a huge difference in the function and style of this laundry room.

A few small changes went a long way in this teeny space.

Not to mention, a seriously refreshing new paint color.

Plus, it serves as the perfect divider between the living and dining rooms.

Gold accents found in the mirror, wall art, faucet, and hardware tie it all together.

The clever faux drawers are the perfect blend of style and function.

Beautiful blue accents tie the whole space together.

The reno makes everything look bigger and brighter, but still has mid-century charm fitting of a mid-century house.

The redo turned a "meh" sleep space into a dreamy retreat.

The new space has enough room for two islands. Yes, two!

There's a lot of style packed into this little half bath.

No, there's not a zero missing in that number.

This paint-filled makeover has one of the coolest fridge transformations ever.

The DIY project totally changes the look of this home's entryway.

It took three years, but this redo was worth the wait.

The before looked more like a demo site than a kitchen — but the after is a dream cook space.

A few small changes made this living room way more welcoming for the whole family.

This porch is lighter, brighter, and better than ever.

And more stylish! The blue and white DIY tile is a must-see.

The dark color made this bathroom feel way smaller than it actually was — but thankfully, some smart upgrades totally fixed that.

A bed without a headboard can make the whole bedroom feel imbalanced, lackluster, and a bit like a temporary college-type setup, but some bedrooms definitely pull off the cool and minimalist no-headboard look. To combat feelings of incompleteness or flatness, those successful no-headboard beds are typically framed by some sort of feature wall, artwork, sconces, or statement-making end table-lamp combos.

This airy, spacious redo will win over even open concept skeptics.

Before, the homeowner's laundry room "was dark and cold with no windows," she says. Now, it's a black and white beauty. Not to mention, it's much more functional.

Black accents and some faux greenery tie everything together.

The space features glimpses of the original brick, which runs three layers deep.

These DIYers started with found furniture and ended up with a beautiful new console and a faux fireplace.

This ambitious overhaul took seven months and came with a $185,000 price tag.

The project cost $200 and took advantage of an odd layout.

A DIY redo totally transformed this once-carpeted bathroom.

The original kitchen was an incohesive mash-up of black granite countertops, poorly painted white cabinets, brushed nickel hardware, and several shades of beige.

It all comes together with the perfect pink peel-and-stick wallpaper.

The first step in this two-week project was to paint the walls and floors white.
