I have actually had a few people ask for more before and after pictures, so I have endeavored to take pictures from the same angles as the originals. Now, all my furniture and stuff is in the after pictures, but I think you can see the difference the paint and new flooring makes.
The front entryway, on the left, before, on the right, after. Who would cover that gorgeous glass? Someone who didn't like the bb holes. We will replace it soon, but I need to save my pennies.
The view across the sunken living room toward the dining room--which is a window surrounded bump out that was added on about 15 years after the house was built.
The dining room as it stands now. I have some white curtains to hang so we can block a little of the sun but let the light come in.
The built in buffet from the dining room. Nothing about that changed. I like it in its 1959 glory.
The view of the kitchen from the dining room. We took down the door that separated the two rooms and completely redid the kitchen.
The view from the great room through to the kitchen.
The eat-in kitchen area. All we really did there was the light fixture, paint and floors.
The glass shelves of the built in dining room buffet from the great room. Cleaned up a little and put some pretties out to show.
The great room on the left shows the original walls and the carpeted floor. We textured, painted and put down travertine floors.
The bar was painted, given a new top and hardware. I replaced the light fixture with a pendant.
I took out the sliding doors and repurposed them in the laundry room. We took out most of that wall and added the room to the kitchen.
The kitchen got a total facelift. Complete gut and reconfigure. I like it a lot.
We are pretty happy with the transformation. We will be saving up our money for the next phase of the remodeling. We have to enclose the carport and then redo the two bathrooms.

Good pictures of the remo!
Your taste in decorating is way better than the previous tenants!
Now, you need to actually cook something in that kitchen! LOL! I need that gas cook-top!
I think the back porch oasis should be the next remo priority though. Sand. Palm trees. And a couple of camels.
Still with the camels? What's this obsession you have with camels, Anon?
I have cooked on my gas cook top... quite a bit actually.
No palm trees yet, but got some bananas from the Burgess', so I will plant a "banana island".
So now you're all moved in, and your nest is feathered, when's the big party?
You could always turn part of your remo'd place into a trendy little boutique bed & breakfast.
Do you still have those big old flower pots with all the broken mirror pieces glued to the sides?
If you set them out on the back porch, they'll probably attract hordes of starlings and crows who'll want to hang out and stare at their reflections all day.
Those birds will be pooping all over the place.
We need to see more pictures of the remo.
It looks like the previous tenant nailed-up sheets and sheets of cheap peg-board for the walls.
You need to get that giant potted palm tree from the Dubai Mall for the back porch ambiance.
Then all you need to do is move in a bunch of sand and get a couple of camels.
Did you ever go on any of the camel rides at the Dubai Mall? If you had some camels, you could give all the neighborhood kids rides.
Do you have enough room in the backyard for an in-ground pool like the Humble House?
Pool. Spa. Palm trees. Camels.
Looking at the 'before' pictures of the rooms reminds me of an old 1920's style funeral home! YUCK!
ACK! I see two giant white ORBS flying across the room, up close to the ceiling, in that picture of the sunken living room!
Is that place haunted?
YUCK!
What's with the ORBS flying all around? They scare me!
Is that place haunted?
