Before and After: Our Cottage Style Home

I am so excited to share this Before and After of our Cottage Style Home! For anyone out there with a fixer upper, I thought it might be an encouragement to share some before and after photos of our home.
There are still many more projects ahead, but in eight years I feel so blessed by how far we've come. Here is what the outside of our home looked like before:

I love how gracious you are towards the previous owners, which is very thoughtful since you never know if they are watching. Quite often, before and after makeover videos focus on how horrible the “before” was in order to make the “after” better by comparison. But you acknowledged the work they had already done, and simply added that you had made it more your taste. I can tell you put a lot of work into your home, nonetheless, and it’s beautiful. Your thoughtful words make watching your video so pleasant! Thank you

[@angelamonroe7737]

You are truly blessed to have a father, a husband, and a brother-in-law that is able to help you. Cherish that! My father passed away. I miss him dearly. I'm not married, and I don't have a brother-in-law who can help. I love watching your video because even though I don't have anyone to help I know that I can do some things on my own. I do love your bathroom makeover. I wouldn't change a thing. I love the front yard with the window boxes and flower bed. You are truly blessed that you have people in your life the good Lord blessed you with ❤ thank you sharing and reminding me of how blessed we are with family in our lives

Your home is the most charming dollhouse of a cottage. You guys have done a beautiful job.

Wow! This video has really given me faith that I'll be able to have a beautiful home like yours. I live in a fixer upper and lately have felt so upset that we even bought this home, but now I'm feeling inspired to make this into my dream home even though it may take some time. Thank you for posting this video!

How blessed you are to have a husband who is so handy around the house. I love my husband but changing a light bulb is a challenge for him (a bit of an exaggeration but not much) :) The first time I viewed your vlog was this past Christmas and I was immediately drawn not only to your beautiful home but to your sweet spirit. Your love for all things beautiful shines through your beautiful face. Keep sharing. Your vlog is by far my favorite.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Oh my word that made me laugh out loud haha!! Yes, my husband is such a blessing!! :) Thank you so much for all the encouragement, I'm still new at this and learning so it really means so much to me! :)

[@jukes243]

I cannot imagine three energetic little boys in that space. It's so lovely and pristine. We like a lot of the same things. Painted furniture especially. Recently, I painted one of our cupboards a moss green. It brought the outdoors in. And made it feel very cottage-y. Inside the cupboard are my tea cups and old time candy jars. The door inserts are "mesh screening" which allows me to view - and enjoy - my collectibles. TYFS. Your home is charming.

[@elisabethross2201]

I too have a " handyman" husband😊 So grateful for that!! We are now living in our third home and still doing home projects!😁

I live in Grand Rapids and my girlfriend lives a few blocks from me in home with similar architecture. She calls it a storybook tudor. I think they look like something out of a story book.

[@vickiemarker9052]

I was discovered your site. Truly, truly beautiful. You both have worked so hard and your home is so warm and inviting. I can appreciate your hard work. My husband and I built a cottage type log cabin. It is our dream home. So I understand how much love it entails. My husband is a wood worked as well and has saved us so much money over the years. I know you are proud of your better half. I know he must be proud of you! What a great team you make. Your sons are blessed to have such a special place to call home. Just watch - your sons will be home renovators too! Our son watched Dad over the years and does much of the same thing his father did. Now Dad is a consultant as well! Blessings to your family.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aww that is so so sweet!! Yes! They want to help daddy all the time haha!! Your cabin sounds so beautiful :) Thank you for your kind words, they mean so much!! :)

Your home is so beautiful, and all of your efforts have paid off handsomely, we lost our fixer-upper in the Historic flood in the Midwest, we had it just about the way we wanted it, so I built a brand new home miles away 🤗 it’s beautiful and safe from water 💕

[@Cailee1989]

so sorry for your loss

[@kkatmom]

You have such a beautiful home and gardens. When I was first married, I put in and or redid the flowerbeds, it instantly made our tiny little home have so much personality. We too were on a tight budget and there weren’t many living plants in the original gardens. We received plants from my in-laws and my parents. My in-laws also helped with putting garden beds in. Many years and houses later, I still ask friends and family for plants. I still have plants from my mom, who has passed. I call my gardens, my memory gardens. I can tell you where each plant has come from. I remember each garden they came from and most importantly, the memories of the giver. I’ve given many plants to start new gardens, along with the stories of whom I received the plant from. So the memories continue. I love the style of your home, it’s so light and comfortable. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aww Donna thank you!!! That is the sweetest thing ever!!! Oh my goodness, I love that idea of memory gardens!! Thank you for sharing all that, I can't wait to do the same one day!! :)

I have a crush on your beautiful cottage home !! So cozy, comfy and inviting. Love all the white and wood tones! Such a fabulous job on it all. We are never done renovating or decorating our homes. We evolve over the years, our style changes a little, etc... so wonderful to own a home and change with it! Gorgeous flower beds. That is something I did NOT inherit from my Dad! He had the greenest thumb! Incredible flower beds and garden. Lots of stones walls! But I did inherit our family home. The flower beds are gone,I did try to revive them.... I just couldn’t. Anyways... love the before and after. Thanks for sharing!
