Makeover Magic

Before: Seeing this 106 year old NY farmhouse caught my eye.

After all, Joe and I have been joking (but with wishful thinking)

about moving out to the country.

After: A lifesaving makeover but…

I would have kept it a shade of yellow and replaced the shingles with a tin roof.

Before: The home’s staircase.

After: Amazing restoration.

The picture below is from the HGTV series; Sarah's House. She completely redid an old farmhouse. It was fabulous.

I think numbered stairs are so cute.

Below is a picture of one of my favorite redos in Sarah’s House.

Before: A real ugly room.

After: Sarah turned it into one of the coolest mudrooms ever!

After: Coolest powder room.

Sarah Richardson is one of my favorite designers.

Her blend of styles is flawless.

This Saturday her new series begins @8pm HGTV.

She is tackling her own lake house. It should be a phenomenal transformation like always.

Check out a bedroom from her farmhouse.

This is Sarah's farmhouse at Christmas.

Farmhouses and Christmas are a magical mix.

Aren’t they?

These pictures make me really want a farm house more :)

Love the Christmas tree!! The outside of the house is like jaw dropping. And the numbering on the stars I LOVE that too! And the mud room is too cool. Feels like a Texas home.
