Cozy, Updated Bedrooms
With four adult sisters, their mother and plenty of young ones staying for weekends, the family will need to make the most of their home's sleeping spaces. See how Monica and her sisters transformed their childhood bedrooms for their grown families.
BEFORE: Master Bedroom
Monica shared this bedroom with her older sister, Jessica, growing up. Though it was on the small side for a master bedroom, Monica had big plans for this wall that separated it from the sun porch ...
AFTER: Master Bedroom
French doors! The master bedroom now has warmth and personality with new doors that provide access to the sun porch.
AFTER: Master Bedroom
Light lavender paint and feminine linens soften the room without losing its classic and original touches.
BEFORE: Master Bedroom
While the windows and doors were in excellent condition, the baseboards and floors needed a little TLC.
AFTER: Master Bedroom
Small touches like the new chandelier add a lot to the room's comfy cozy feel.
BEFORE: Master Bedroom
Even with two windows, the former bedroom felt a bit too dark and closed off for a master bedroom.
AFTER: Master Bedroom
After knocking out a wall and adding french doors into the sun porch, the bedroom now has much more light and feels twice as big.
BEFORE: Sun Porch
Though the neglected enclosed porch had plenty of light streaming in, there wasn't much to be sunny about.
AFTER: Sun Porch
The finished product now has serious warmth and personality with a custom bench and shelving underneath.
BEFORE: Sun Porch
The sisters and their mom got a big surprise when they pulled up the tattered carpet on the sun porch.
AFTER: Sun Porch
Wood floors in great condition! Rather than refinishing them, the family decided to leave them as is for a more rustic, original look.
BEFORE: Bathroom
Retro much? There wasn't much to see in the original bathroom, aside from its dated finishings that hadn't been updated in years.
AFTER: Bathroom
Moving the vanity to the other side of the bathroom created much more space and versatility for the newly updated powder room.
BEFORE: Bathroom
Check out those tub decals!
AFTER: Bathroom
Installing a new clawfoot tub preserves the classic charm seen consistently throughout the home.
BEFORE: Kerry's Bedroom
Though it wasn't a gut job, Kerry's childhood bedroom needed quite the cleanup.
AFTER: Kerry's Bedroom
Fresh paint and barn shutters repurposed as a headboard transform the bedroom into a cozy sleeping spot.
BEFORE: Kerry's Bedroom
A bit of a diamond in the rough, the room actually had tons of space and potential for an upgrade.
AFTER: Kerry's Bedrom
Refinished floors, a reading nook and a chandelier that draws your eye upward give the room the finished and inviting look it needed.
BEFORE: Brigette's Bedroom
With much of the room's finishes in decent shape, Brigette's former bedroom didn't need much more than a fresh coat of paint.
AFTER: Brigette's Bedroom
Monica added removable wallpaper to the reading nook in Brigette's bedroom to create an accent wall.
BEFORE: Brigette's Bedroom
Unlike many of the bedrooms, this one didn't need its baseboards replaced or repainted.
AFTER: Brigette's Bedroom
The new bed's custom barn door headboard.
BEFORE: Brigette's Bedroom
This bedroom's reading nook called for some special design treatment.
AFTER: Brigette's Bedroom
A new chandelier and furniture and lighting for the reading nook totally transform the new, inviting space.
