After: Bold Blue

Karen and Mina gave this quaint abode an instantly eye-catching facelift by opting for bold blue paint with contrasting white window frames.

After: Lemon Yellow

How cheerful is this lemon yellow backyard renovation? Karen and Mina used two yellow tones to give the home an extra sunny disposition.

After: Teal Trim

Karen and Mina made a case for teal accents with this contrasting curb appeal.

Before: Toned-Down Taupe

Karen and Mina had a relatively blank canvas when working with the Spicebush house — especially in the backyard.

After: A Case for Color

To liven up the space, Karen and Mina brought in new colorful French doors, patio furniture and hot pink flowers.

Before: Bare Bones

Before Mina and Karen worked their magic, the house on Terrace looked near shambles.

After: Creamy Curb Appeal

But, once they were done, the house on Terrace looked downright picturesque with fresh cream-colored paint, a newly renovated front porch, and minimal shrubbery out front.

After: Storybook Appeal

But, once Mina and Karen got their hands on it, the Indianapolis home looked like something out of a storybook.

Before: Shutters and Bushes, Oh My!

The original front of the Sanders house featured bulky shutters, an overgrown bush, and unruly grass.

After: Shutters Begone!

After Karen and Mina came to town, however, it transformed into a bright, well-kept home, without shutters taking away from the front-facing facade.

Before: Dark and Dreary

Karen and Mina worked on another property on Sanders, only this one was noticeably darker than the last, giving it an unpleasantly moody look.

After: Gorgeous in Gray

Mina and Karen transformed the once-dark home by giving it a bright and welcoming gray-and-white facelift.

Before: A Boring Backyard

Karen and Mina had their work cut out for them with this drab backyard.

After: Quaint Accents

Mina and Karen updated the boring backyard by washing the house in a coat of white paint, accented with baby blue doors. By adding a back deck, they created a cozier space to gather, too.

After: A Place to Gather

But they didn't stop there! They added the ultimate hang space in the corner of the backyard, with a table that transforms into a firepit.

Before: Overgrown Bushes

The original exterior of the 728 Lexington house featured overgrown bushes that took away from the curb appeal of the home's structure.

After: Statement Structure

Thankfully, Mina and Karen excavated the row of unruly bushes to reveal the home's unique structure, which they refreshed with two hues of purple paint.

Before: Uninspiring Backyard

The original backyard of the 728 Lexington house was nothing to get excited over.

After: A Party-Ready Backyard

But once Mina and Karen gave it a makeover, complete with plenty of space to sit and to mingle, it became one of the most welcoming areas of the home.

Before: Spooky Silhouette

At first glance, this home gave off a spooky vibe.

After: Cheerful Gathering Space

Once Mina and Karen poured a little love and effort into it, however, it turned into a cheerful space to gather with friends and family.

Before: Dated Appearance

The original front exterior of the 730 Lexington house looked like a rundown abode designed for geriatric occupants.

After: A Revitalized Appeal

Mina and Karen gave the Lexington home a modern update by removing the rails, using buttercream paint, and creating a focal point with a head-turning blue door.

Before: A Unique Frame

The house on Orange Street, which was originally a three-unit home, looked nothing short of disheveled before the Good Bones team arrived.

After: Lime Green Accents

Karen and Mina revitalized the home with fresh neutral paint juxtaposed against a lime green fence.

Before: Dull Palette

The original exterior of the house on Capitol was admittedly dull and worn down.

After: Painted Purple

With a fresh coat of purple paint and fresh white trim, however, it looked like a brand new house.

After: Statement Door

And, when you look closely, you'll notice that a contrasting baby blue door stands waiting to welcome guests.

After: White Brick

While the before image of this home isn't available, we think that we can all agree that the painted white brick really tied this home together.

Before: Brick Blockade

The original front entrance of the duplex that Mina and Karen renovated seemed blocked off with bricks.

After: Private Porches

To make it look more inviting, Mina and Karen painted the brick white and created private spaces for each duplex on either side of the front porch.

After: Bohemian Backyard

Karen and Mina turned the new deck and outside eating area on one side of the duplex into a beautiful Bohemian retreat.

Before: Weathered Wood

This wood-paneled home looked weathered, thanks to its faded gray paint.

After: Juniper Green

By opting for the homeowner's favorite juniper green hue, Karen and Mina were able to breathe new life into the home's curb appeal.

Before: Mismatched Paint

The original front exterior of the first home that Mina and Karen were renovating in Garfield Park looked to be painted out of sorts.

After: Cohesive Color Palette

They gave it a unified appeal by opting for white and pale gray paint, accented with a wood-railed porch.

Before: Boarded From View

This Garfield Park home originally featured uninviting boarded-up windows and a weathered roof.

After: Updated Enclosed Porch

To make the home seem more welcoming, Karen and Mina transformed the boarded-up porch into a sunny enclosed space.

After: A Peek Inside

Karen and Mina made the most of the sun-filled enclosed porch by outfitting it with a vertical garden and cozy conversation set.

Before: An Outdated Color Palette and Frame

The frame and color palette of this house made it look like a relic of the '70s or '80s.

After: Modern Gray Update

To give it a modern refresh, Karen and Mina extended the porch and repainted the exterior, creating a warm, welcoming allure from first glance.

Before: Boarded Up

The Talbott house was originally boarded up and overgrown.

After: Radiant Reno

Karen and Mina gave it a new lease on life by painting it white, updating the porch with wood flooring and creating a well-kept bed of shrubbery out front.

Before: Burned to a Crisp

The original fire-damaged exterior of the house on Charles looked to be on its last leg.

After: Masculine Gray Update

But with Mina and Karen's insight, it was revitalized with dark gray paint and a series of shrubs.

Before: Minimalist Silhouette

The original exterior of the condo unit on Union was minimalist with white brick and an unkempt front yard.

After: Gorgeous Greenery

Mina and Karen updated the curb appeal by manicuring the lawn, creating a small front bed, and hanging ferns from the porch and roof of the home.

After: Wood Shingle Siding

While the before image isn't available, we're swooning over this curb appeal update! Mina and Karen created contrast by pairing gray and white paint with natural wood shingle siding. And we must say, it looks great!
