Your home is your sanctuary.

It’s the place you return to after a long day and where you start each morning. It’s where you recharge, share dinners with friends and family, and get to be yourself.

Ideally, it should reflect who you are, but getting it there can take a lot of work. Many people online have been putting in that effort, sharing their home renovations with the world, and the results are nothing short of inspiring.

Scroll down to see these brilliant transformations, and don’t forget to show these folks some love—they’ve earned it!

#2 Not To Everyone’s Taste But Very Proud 100% DIY

I totally get the two biggest criticisms: wood in a bathroom and not thinking to move the hot air register, i seriously get it. Any other constructive feedback is totally welcome!

#3 Bathroom Change-Up

The before bathroom was there when we moved in. When the cheap vanity drawers started to fall apart, it was time to replace everything as nothing about the original bathroom was exciting, inviting or, in some cases, practically functional. Bathrooms are best if they are welcoming, warm spaces that draw you in with physical and visual elements. So that’s what we did here without changing the footprint of the bathroom or any of the plumbing. The result, now that we just finished, is transformational. It went from a bathroom we tolerated to one we actively like spending time in. The only thing left to do is find the right shower curtain–but, already, there is a shower rod concealed behind the arch so once we find the right curtain that will fit in visually, we’re off to the races.

#5 The Chalet In The Alps

Just wanted to share the work my family and I have been doing over the last year, it’s a chalet high in the Alps, with no water and no electricity. That’s just the kitchen area so far.

#6 My Master Bath Reno

This was my first major renovation – finished today! I did work with a firm who could render my design for me, but I otherwise designed it myself. Style might not be for everyone but I personally love moody, cozy, midcentury vibes. The hiccups during construction definitely aged me a bit, so I def need a relaxing bath 🤣

#26 My Backyard Transformation

I always get so much useful information on Reddit for my house renovation projects, so I wanted to share what I’ve done for my backyard.
When we bought our house there were an old shed in the backyard and some grass patch. Didn’t have a clear design in mind at that time yet but we demolished it and started digging out all the concrete patches.
After deciding on the design I started digging aggressively during the rainy winter month, and then worked on the sprinkler system.
The hardest part was the raised platform with clay pavers of course. I don’t know why I decided to have even spaces in between them like tile installation but clay pavers are not super straight, they’re rather more organically shaped which made me go insane trying to keep them evenly spaced. It was also our first attempt on hardscaping. After many painful days I’ve got a satisfying result. Two things I kind of regret are 1. Dry stacking the cinder blocks for the edges and 2. Using polymeric sand for joints. The whole platform is holding tight and nice for over a year now but during the installation the dry stacked edges were slightly shifting due to the compactor’s vibration. And the polymeric sand.. it can get messy, dusts are sticking to the surface and etc. I realize later you can just use regular sand.
Choosing plants and planting them were the most fun part! I’m still figuring out which one works better for the placement, but it’s mostly filled up nicely.
Now our backyard is the nicest part of the house while the rest are still half way through.

#45 Before And After

Kitchen facelift for the new year. Needed to brighten up the space.
Himalaya White Granite as it was as close as we could get to marble since we wanted to avoid marble in the kitchen.
Cabinets refinished with Milesi 2k. Perimeter color Benjamin Moore Distant Gray and island in Washington Blue.
Backsplash is Bianco Carrara Flower Mosaic.
Upgraded all cabinet runners and hinges to soft close.
Door/Drawer hardware Pennington Collection from Top Knobs.

#47 Before / After DIY Bathroom On A Budget

Lots of firsts for me on this project.
By far the hardest part was removing the popcorn ceiling. Tried scraping, sanding – in the end I put mud over the whole thing. Happy with the finish.
I did everything myself except for the shower door install. I would have done it to save some more money, but with that side shelf window, I wasn’t going to find something prefabricated that fit.
Also yes, kept the same shower walls and just refinished them with one of those kits, which is probably frowned upon here 😅 I had done one in our old house a few years ago and was happy with the results, it will hold up forever as long as you prep well.
Anyways let me know what you think! 🙏

#48 Wife Left Me Alone For Two Months So I Redid Our Kitchen

Our whole house was a mess when we moved in and I’m doing one room at a time every time my wife has to leave for a work trip, so I spent the last few weeks doing our kitchen, which I HATED because it just felt so dark. Just have to caulk some places and will be good to go! This will be a rented property once we finish up what we want to do to it, and originally the plan was to replace the cabinets altogether, but it ended up being too far out of what we wanted to spend on the kitchen.

#50 Yay Or Nay?

I am a GC out of the Chicago Suburbs and have remodeled dozens of bathrooms for clients but is finally did my own . What do you guys think of the vintage shower kid blended with some bold colors ? Would you do something like this?

#51 Our Very First Attempt At Anything In Our Kitchen

Before and after. Took apart all cabinets and sanded them down, re-stained and applied poly over them. New hardware as well. Thoughts? I’m thinking counter tops next but unsure on material or finish.

#52 Bathroom Reno

Still need a piece of glass on the pony wall and shower curtain (we’re going to mount it from the ceiling.) I’m honestly blown away by the change – it doesn’t even feel like it’s ours!

#57 Full En-Suite Reno

I ended up completely gutting the ensuite of my new house project, widening it by 12”, recessing the floor for a curbless shower and redoing 100% of all the plumbing and electrical. I used the pre-fabbed sloped pan, cement board with Mapei AquaDefence and fibreglass mesh for all corners and edges. Installed heated floors up to the shower (not into). Pretty happy with the results, thought you guys might like to see a before / progress / after photo dump.
Been functional for 6 months now, not a sign of a leak, everything works great. Honestly wouldn’t change a thing – easily my favourite upgrade of the house so far.

#58 Kitchen Redesign. Better Or Worse?

Picture 1 is the current state and I find it having too much wood. Used an ai designer to change some colors to get a feel of what things will look (picture 2). Thoughts? Better or worse?
I know the redesign is a little broken (no fridge) but just focus on the color aspect of it 🙂

#72 Before/After On Our 1920s Build Farm House Porch

Bought in March 2023 for a steal (house was unlivable, open to the elements). Has gotten new roof, siding, (some) windows, septic, electric, insulation, and a ton more. Trying to do most of it ourselves and happy with how things are turning out!
