Oh my… I can’t believe how far we have come in our upstairs part of our farmhouse since moving in here. In the past few months we have made the majority of our progress with big renovations like window replacement, new flooring, new wall treatments, lots of paint, & even some new lighting. In case you forget what our upstairs looked like before, here is what we were working with just over a year ago…

I honestly Can’t believe how much progress we have made…

Sometimes it’s hard to just see the to-do list when you are living in a fixer-upper like working on the hallway ceilings, painting the doors, changing the vents, & so on… but seeing progress like this reminds me that we really have come a long way & it takes some of that pressure off. Even if you are not a blogger, I HIGHLY recommend taking before photos so you can really see the progress you have made on all of your projects. It for sure makes you feel better about all the work you have done…

Recently we replaced all the windows in our upstairs with Renewal By Andersen which was the biggest difference maker in our upstairs. It reduced noise, brightened up the whole hallway, added character, & stopped the outside elements from coming in like wind & bugs. Next up is covering up that wallpaper with our go-to shiplap and some lovely white paint which brightened up the whole space. Next major update? The floors! we got rid of the carpet & put in the painted pine flooring that we did downstairs [HERE]. Last but not least we are testing out lighting & we tried these super affordable wall sconces [HERE].

A lot more updates coming to this space very soon, but for now I really wanted to share how far we have come & show you the big impact that these changes can make in your renovation as well. Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by the blog today & every single day to see what we are up to. Follow more behind the scenes on my Instagram [HERE]. xx
