Home renovation! Before and after pics

Wasn’t sure where to put this but I’m so excited I want to share with y’all!

We finished stage 1 of our upstairs remodel— new lighting, paint, scraped ceilings, and new cabinet hardware. I’m SO thrilled with how it turned out, and on a $6k budget too!

Here’s the kitchen (next stage is new countertops and tile backsplash, but I gotta save a bit more first):

And the living room:

It feels like a new house! Living in the basement for a month wasn’t much fun, but so worth it. We’ve been meaning to get all this done since we moved in 6 years ago.

Have you done home renovation projects before? I’d love to see pics if so!
