Unbelievable Transformation! How I Turned An Ugly Ranch into a Mid-Century Dream Home

It's finally time to show you the reveal of the Millie's Remodel project. What started as an ugly (and smelly) 1957 brick ranch house is now a dream home for lucky tenants to rent and enjoy for years to come.
Feel free to ask me any questions you have in the comments. I try to answer all questions in a timely manner.

One of the best realizations is that brick ranches are great for efficient comfortable living. You can age in place and the older ones aren't ridiculously large but you still get a good size property with them. Great job saving this little gem.

Wish I had wood floors under the carpet and vinyl in my old ranch house!

[@aliciaprokos8790]

I thought what you did with the exterior of the home, particularly the new shutters, was amazing. I've learned so much watching you. Thank you!

[@lindagass1349]

I’m so impressed! Great job!!

[@rjc714]

Inspiring! My favorite room is the kitchen -- so bright and inviting. I'm also going to check out those ceiling fans you mentioned. They're gorgeous. Thank you!

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

Thank you! And yes, those ceiling fans are gorgeous!

[@jdsleppy]

This looks great, and I know it was a ton of work. Thank you for taking the time to film it all. My favorite room is the floors! I know, not a room...

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

Thank you! Hey, I can appreciate that. Those floors really came out beautiful!

[@bmcdonald7303]

This is great. Good job.

[@NanettePatterson302]

Beautiful job!

[@sharonsweeting1367]

Thanks for mentioning the Cabinets to Go - that’s what we ended up using!

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

Definitely happy with them so far.

[@HollyM3]

So nice!

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Great update on a vintage home! Also, I need some of that coffee, that was high energy I saw at the beginning of the video. 😊

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

LOL, thanks. And it's either coffee or editing skills.

[@vivianstidham9596]

Hi! I'm new to your website! Your house is so warm and inviting. So glad you were able to rid yourself of that stinky smell inside. I have to say what stole the show in my opinion is the hard wood floors. Oh my goodness, took me back to my childhood and the smell of Johnson's paste wax in the can! Lol! I don't know if they even make it anymore. I'm 65 and A LOT has changed! Enjoy your beautiful home! From Texas ! 😊🇨🇱

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

Thank you so much! Yes, I think they do still make Johnson's paste wax! I've seen it for furniture.

[@susansmith7071]

Amazing! Nice job.

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

Thanks a lot!

[@tammyc1903]

Why did you install new sheetrock over the popcorn ceiling? Popcorn ceiling scrapes right off if you spray water on it with a pump sprayer and let it sit a minute.

[@brandongirls2812]

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

I totally agree!

Dear, to do something good on KZbin it is very important to release videos regularly and also good SEO, You can appoint a manager for your channel if you want, You can pay him a percentage of your channel income

[@CeruleanTalon]

It is a nice video, but I being a new homeowner of a 1960 home, am very sad that the entire makeover was an ad for different companies. I remodeled a 1912 before I purchased my new one.

[@user-jz3ey3jr1j]

Oh good grief 🙄

[@niquesavings1300]

Did you ever find out what the culprit of the mold was? I see you mentioned it was in the kitchen & bathroom.

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

Several leaking water and waste lines. The original plumbing was lead and cast iron.

[@jms9057]

Sooooo.....where do you store anything in that kitchen? There aren't enough cabinets by any means.

[@bestcity0979]

How much did it cost?

[@agustochanel06]
