AUBREY KINCH

Another peek at the house with a before vs after post and today it's all about the kitchen. I know I've said it before but it's not our ideal kitchen aesthetically but that's okay! I was first really hesitant about even purchasing this house because I knew we wouldn't change this room since it's a temporary house but having lived in it 7 months now, it's really become a space we love.

I tried so hard to shoot this space in a flattering way but it's a little awkward with the layout and how the sink and toilet are separated and then of course, it's a small powder room. Ideally, I wish I could just have you walk through this room because images don't do it justice. This is unanimously the favorite room in the house by all our guests and I wish the pictures portrayed that!

Are you guys loving this series as much as I am? It's been fun for me to see the rooms side by side and looking at the little changes we did to make it ours. The house came with the furniture seen in these images so we sold the pool table, donated the bar stools, TV and pendant light and pulled in our decor. Again, we changed the paint and put all new carpet in and BAM- it's refreshed and ready for us!

Eeek, this one is huge to me! I felt like the master was really confined even for the large space it gave and I think that's because the carpet was dark, the blinds were black out ones and the fan was heavy for the room. Not my favorite but again, with simply updating the carpet, paint and putting in a different fan, we have a completely different space now! 

I've always found enjoyment looking at people's homes with before/after of rooms and how things have changed and turned out, typically for the better... is that only me? ;) The home we bought definitely wasn't terrible because it had great bones to begin with so with a few changes like carpet and paint, we've given it a updated look, much more our style.

That being said, I'm excited to share room by room the before pictures with a quick after shot of how they look now... first up, Emery's room!
