Remolded My Master Bath
This kind of huge mirror makes me unconfortable in a bathroom, yet, with the wall you removed, it brings much more light and the room seems so much bigger

Very cozy and beautiful! But impossible to drive like that. Unless you like shattered potted plants on your shoulders and car dashboard...

Wait. Before picture: no kitchen. After picture: kitchen. I mean, it's nice and I like it, but it's technically an installation, not a renovation.

Too much of a nice color makes it unbearable. This room needs more white or neutral areas to desaturate the overwhelming view.

Paint everything white, turn a few more lights on,put some throws over stuff and consider it "made over" in the Changing Rooms mids 90's style ;)
Oh yeah, and chuck out the fridge!
A lot of those "upgrades" make the rooms look really cheap and tacky. "White painted furniture"? That's what you do with particle board or MDF furniture.
Remodeling is easier than maintaining it! I'd mess everything within a week.
the main difference btw all these "befores" and "afters" was the lighting.
That and they tidied up and cleaned up. I'd say at least half of these look better in the before than the after photos.
