Way back when I first started searching the internet for decorating inspiration, the only place I knew about was the BHG website.
My house is in bad need of curb appeal, so I was searching their website today. I found a few before and afters that I thought were interesting. They are all small homes, a little like mine or about the size of mine.
I love this little cottage, isn't it sweet now?
Mine is a Craftsman Bungalow, but it doesn't have a porch, but I'm thinking that it really needs one.
I absolutely adore this one!
I kind of like the before better, do you? I love the way the porch looked before and the color of the house was nice for the style of it. I guess it looks like a much more prestigious home now, though.
If you need anymore Home exterior inspiration there is more
Have a lovely day my friends!!!

WOW! Those before and afters of your house are unbelievable! You are oozing curb appeal now! Love your blog (thanks for stopping at mine:))
This is a fun post to read and view. I haven't seen your whole house but what I've seen looks pretty curb appealing to me!
I love BHG and it is the site I go to for inspiration first time every time! I love these images too. That first house is gorgeous;I love the colours.
Great inspiration here-thank you!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Like you, I think the 'before' photo of the last house was better than the 'after'! I love a little Cape Cod house and would be happy to live in one again.
Its so amazing how different a house can look, I love the blue one too. I go onto BHG and take a look. My cottage looks like an old Pink English cottage but the front is all block paved and lacks that Cottage garden look so it would be good for me to take a look and see if there are any ideas to help soften it.
Thanks for these photos and links. I love your blog by the way and your cottage looks lovely.

Oh, Cindy, I had to laugh after I had scrolled up and down and up and down on that last photo when I finally read what you had written. I was sure those two must be backward for a moment. I'm with you... I liked the old one best! The others were amazing!! I have an Arts and Crafts bungalow, too. LOVE IT! Yea, for the Old Girls! ;) You are sure finding some good inspiration. Thank you for sharing these. I do love a good curb appeal makeover! blessings ~ tanna
Lovely! And I too, am with you on the last one. They ruined it lol Karen~Pink Parsonage
Cindy the Craftsman bungalow is my favorite and it would be wonderful to have a rocking chair on that front porch to sit and watch the world go by as you read a book or just enjoyed the summer evening...the front yard is so lovely in that picture. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Love them all Cindy! So much fun to see houses transformed and these are beautiful!
Hope your weekend is wonderful...
Blessings,
Cindy
Hi Cindy...
Wow...there were some really powerful transformations there! Love getting to see the "before" and "after" photos! Our home could use a little curb appeal as well! I am still dreaming of a covered front porch built across the front of our home...ahhh...maybe someday! Nevertheless, I am very thankful to the Lord for what I have! My poor honey, spends his off-time just trying to keep up with all the mowing! So not to many "frills" going on here! Hehe! Thanks for sharing these lovely photos for us!
I also wanted to thank you for stopping by and taking a peek at my new treasure finds! And..thank you so much for the sweet birthday wishes! You're such a dearheart, sweet friend!
Love ya,
Chari
Amazing changes! Curb appeal is so important to a house. Happy weekend.
Yay! You made it! Thanks for linking up. I am always amazed at what can be done with the exterior of a house. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
My petite cottage is in dire need of some curb appeal too...But again, it's just too hot to do anything...especially outside. I just can't function in this heat!!! Arggg! I know, I know...what a drama queen :-) Hee, hee, hee.
Hugs,

Oh, I just love them all! Curb appeal is so important and they are all so beautiful!

Cindy, I also like seeing before and after transformations. My favorite from the ones you showed is the second one. It has a simple clean look, I think. It is enjoyable dreaming of the possibilities for changing the look of a home. I hope you have a splendid weekend. Shannon
These are beautiful makeovers images Cindy. I agree with you about the last one. I like the before:-)
I love all of these! Before & afters are so fun to look at.
I love these renovations Cindy, except the last one. I like the second with its warm tones and interesting stacked stone porch columns and steps.
I enjoyed browsing BHG's website.
Hope you have a lovely week ahead.
I love these renos, but I'm with you about the last one. Although the after is ok, the before had much more character.
It's nice that they could fix them up rather than knock them down.
What nice renovations! But, I'm with you on the last one. I like the character of the "before" so much better. To me, it was warm and casual "before," and too formal "after."
