Is there anything more satisfying than taking something that needs lots of TLC and giving it new life? With a little imagination (and, in most cases, a lot of elbow grease), that space you grumble about can become your favorite room in the house.
Do you have some home-improvement dreams you’re ready to realize? Take some inspiration from these Coast women and the magic they worked with their renovation projects:
“In April 2024, my husband and I purchased our first home. I fell in love with the layout but knew right away that the kitchen would be the first space we’d update. Built in 2009, the kitchen was due for a refresh.
Since we spend so much time baking and cooking, I wanted it to feel elegant, bold and cozy all at once. That’s why we chose Midnight Blue by Behr—a color that perfectly captures the warmth and sophistication we envisioned. To complete the look, Luxury Countertops in Pearl River, Louisiana, and Osly’s Contractors Remodel and Paint did an amazing job bringing my vision to life.” – Alexis Crouse
“In late 2023, my husband, Pat, and I decided to sell what we thought to be our dream home in Biloxi due to the rising costs of homeowners and flood insurance. My goal was to find a dream home on the water that didn’t require flood insurance. I know, this sounds like searching for a unicorn. However, after only two months of searching and praying, we found it! On March 1, 2024, we closed on our lake house in Lake Village Estates in Gulfport.
Now, this house needed lots of love, along with blood sweat and tears, to turn it into our forever dream home. One year later, we are 85% complete, with only a couple of projects left and loving every minute of this huge transformation.” – Robin Killeen
