This video is a must-watch for anyone into house transformations. The year-long journey is so satisfying, and the remodel proves that with time and effort, any house can become a dream home. It's like a renovation adventure unfolding right before your eyes.
This house remodel is like watching a magic trick in slow motion. In just one year, it goes from ordinary to extraordinary, revealing thoughtful design choices and innovative solutions. The before-and-after shots are so impressive that it's hard to believe it's the same house.
I bought this as a gift for my friend th-cam.com/users/postUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.
The outdoor make over is really impressive. That is real major make over back breaking work. The outside of the house looks fantastic and gives a preview of what's to come when you step inside.
You’ve inspired me to make my own little house work rather than have to move. I don’t have the strength or skills to do all the work myself but I’m sure I can hire people. You’re incredible!
we just bought a 100 year old home in new orleans and watching you do all of this yourself was really inspiring. it's given me a lot of confidence to tackle a lot of the projects we're facing!!
This is the first video I've seen from your channel, and I'm happy to have found you! I love this style/format! Seeing so many projects completed in one video made it extra-enjoyable. It's great, as well, that you have videos with more details on each project. There's something for everyone!
Wow, this whole home makeover video is like a home improvement dream come true! The one-year transformation journey showcases each room's incredible change, and the attention to detail is mind-blowing. It's a must-watch for anyone seeking inspiration for a comprehensive house remodel.
I am very impressed with your dedication and focus on the renovations you have completed, you inspire me to make changes in my own home, even at 74 years of age.
I'm 80 & I am still redecorating around the house. No tearing down cupboards etc., Mostly painting, adding shelves & making home decor items. Keep going, it's good at our age!
Not only is your design stunning but equally so is your amazing work ethic, knowledge and precision of woodworking, and metal fitting, along with rock laying and drainage! You are not afraid to tackle the less pleasant areas and your stick-with-it-ness for an entire project is amazing! KUDOS!!!
I am VERY impressed with the fact you managed to integrate the vintage feel of your home and sophisticated design when many others would have just painted the walls millennial grey and put up a "Live Laugh Love" sign.
WOW. This is an amazing transformation. I am genuinely blown away by your bad arse attitude. There’s not a thing that seems to faze you, you’re very inspiring and your attention to detail is to be admired. I’m subscribing, I cannot wait to see what else you do. Thank you for sharing. Much love to you from England. xxx
Holy shit!!! I can’t even… just… holy shit!!! That’s the only thing to be said. You are the wonder woman of home renovation. AMAZING! Not only to do all the work yourself, but to do it WELL. True craftsmanship. I’m in awe. You’re a phenom
So stunning!! I wasn't sure I liked the countertop and backsplash combo but when it all came together, I realized those counters were perfect!! Such a great space!!
I've been watching your videos for about 5-6 months now and I have been in awe with how each project turned out. Seeing the transformation of the lake house makeover is inspiring. You are amazing, hard working, creative, and so talented Melissa! I really enjoyed this recap video of the past year. It really shows how much work you put into this house over the past year. I can't wait to see what you do in 2023!
Just an amazing work of art. Your eye for design is incredible. You should be so proud to display your master piece. I'm impressed the way you repurpose so much of your material in your design.
I am only 5 minutes into your video and my jaw is dropped. Your skills are amazing! Of course I am going to watch the rest of the video and subscribe to see what else you do with your amazing talents.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone patch/prime/paint a fridge. Cool idea. I couldn't help chuckle a little at the hardwood floor peninsula piece - BEEN THERE!! Impressed by how well-rounded you are in the DIY arena. Great video.
You rock woods! Your creativity, resilience, and passion towards your project are so inspiring. We bought a house built in the 60s, and I came across your videos as I was searching for DIY projects to update ours. Thanks for sharing your talent. God bless your family and your beautiful house.
Your kitchen transformation blew me away! I am so inspired by you! We're currently trying to buy our second house and it's in similar shape. You gave me so many great ideas!
What is astounding -besides your beautiful vision of what this house could look like- is the fact that you did the physical work yourself as well👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Your skills and talents are infinite!🥰❣️Hope this means you can take a little break😊. The property value has bumped up significantly so your work is earning you equity too👍🏻
It makes me so happy that you didn't just trash the kitchen and put all new cabinets in and that you made the hutch into a kitchen cabinet. It really bugs me when people on HGTV shows smash all of the cabinets and bathrooms to add drama instead of mindfully rehabbing and reusing things that are already in the house.
Watching the time-lapse of this house remodel was like witnessing a magic trick; I couldn't believe the stunning before-and-after shots, and it left me motivated to consider a whole-home makeover of my own.
Wood houses are so cool. I had so much fun watching this video. And the fact that it's a woman doing all this work by herself makes it so much entertaining.
Wow - what an amazing transformation. I watched the video for each area but seeing them all together for the total picture was so satisfying. What a wonderful job, you are so talented in your work and design eye. Nicely Done! I look forward to the rest of the home.
What an inspiring array of design choices throughout the video, from the initial demolition to the final reveal. The attention to detail and thoughtful renovations make it a must-watch for anyone seeking ideas for their own home improvement projects.

The kitchen and the living room beams are my favorite! Not a fan of the foam rocks and electric fireplace but that's a personal preference. Can't wait to see the bathroom renos.
Woow! The dedication and meticulous planning that went into transforming every aspect of the house is remarkable. It's a must-watch for anyone seeking inspiration for a comprehensive home renovation project.
My husband and I just bought a house in need of MASSIVE overhaul, and this video has given me a new courage I desperately needed, and much inspiration. I love the way it turned out and I especially love the fact that you tried so many outside-the-box ideas. Transforming a hideous fridge with paint and handles? WHO KNEW you could do such a thing!
Thank you for sharing your process! We are building our own home and it is refreshing to see videos documenting a year versus an HGTV mythical weekend. Looking forward to seeing your future work.
Absolutely incredible what you’ve been able to do to transform this home in a relatively short time! Been following your work closely for a few years now. Very inspiring. If I may give you one small piece of advice: Invest in an affordable mic setup, record a single voice-over track for the entire video, and process it to do justice to your lovely voice. It’ll enhance your videos big time. That said, hats off to you! 🙌🏻
Wait, whuh? I watched this in utter amazement. I have a heapful of respect for your work ethic, resourcefulness and ingenuity, wow! What CAN"T you do? Thanks for reminding us what we are capable of😁
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I'm speechless at how amazing this transformation is. Can't wait to see the other rooms. Well done! 👏👏👏
Absolutely blown away by your skill, persistence, and eye for design. As someone who just bought a fixer-upper and looking to do these kinds of renovations, everything in this video seems so daunting yet incredibly inspiring to take on the challenge! You have a new subscriber and fan!
You make it look SO EASY!!! I can't imagine how difficult all of this work is.. thank you for sharing. You did an AMAZING job and the house looks fabulous!!!
Another plus of building yourself is to overcome the big snafu of a refrigerator that doesn't do the job; buying the up to date refrigerator first and then fitting the kitchen around it works best!
Try buying a new refrigerator for a space around which an old refrigerator was built. We did and spent a whole vacation day going to all the big retailers until we found an angel at Home Depot who was willing to search online with us until we found 2. Refrigerator design and dimensions seem to be something that changes.
Melissa you should do a podcast and/or narration of a book etc... you voice is so soothing (in a good way)... Keep up the great work and congrats on the remodel!
Wow! You certainly are ambitious...and creative. Thank you for being real and sharing some of the hiccups you run into. When I design kitchens, I counsel my clients to be prepared for the challenges that are inevitable. Also identifying how much you spent on some items I can see being so helpful to DIYers. Keep producing!
It was very enjoyable to see so many initiatives come to fruition in one video. The fact that each project has a video with additional information is fantastic as well. Everyone can find something here!
I don't usually do comments but I want to say bravo to you. You did great with all those work. Just watching you do it is really inspiring. Keep it up. More power and God bless
I'm blown away by your abilities as a woman! How does one woman do all this reno (and you have nails) is beyond me. Not my esthetic (speaking of the kitchen), but all the props to you for your efforts and ability.
I’m in awe of your talent, knowledge and dedication! You inspired me to go change my furnace air filter…baby steps right?! Great job on the work and videos.
You've done a great job on remodeling this home, while keeping the original design (style) for the living room in tact. Most people don't know what to do with this kind of design, so they just gut it. The kitchen looks fabulous. Much better than a lot of what I have seen on You Tube. Keep up the good work!
So inspired to do more of my own DIY - I'm truly a beginner but now I want to learn seeing how custom you can make it all. The kitchen has so much inspo for what we are going for and the texture you brought in was *chefs kiss*
Wow, its the first vídeo of yours that I see and I am just amazed, taken aback! Great job!!! And thank you for showing us that we can acomplish SO MUCH if we put ourselves to it!
Amazing!!! Work. That home looks like a peaceful place. I wish I could create something like that. Your husband should be very proud of such a talented lady like yourself. God bless you both.
What a journey!! I am incredibly impressed by how much you achieved, and couldn't imagine myself accomplishing a fraction of that. The most amazing part for me was when you recycled and thought of a way to refurbish the cabinets. Not only is it cost effective, but it preserves the history of the original cabinet in that it continues to exist in the house post-renovation, but the cherry on top is its also a statement piece, by you, the designer. I absolutely had to comment on that. Saving what you can in always going to be a plus in my book!
Amazing is the only word comes to mind after seeing your home project. You and your family will enjoy the comfort of your home for many years to come. Because you did it
omg, you are wonderwoman! you can do ALL this and beautifully as well, you also have 4 children and look like you are only 18 years old. i am beyond impressed by your skills and fearlessness in tackling such projects.
My toxic trait is thinking I could do this.
You can lol just takes a tooon of time and money haha
Lmao same
Same
Knowing I can’t hang a painting.

Beyond inspiring.... It's just incredible what you've done and how nothing seems to faze you!
Wish I had her energy now in my old age. Now I can only do like a third of what she does in a day.
Thank you so much!

You make me so proud to be a woman I feel like I can do anything when I watch your video! Thank you so much for being so inspirational. 💕
I can't imagine looking at another guy doing something and thinking how proud I am to be a guy. Just saying it sounds so weird to me.
@@GalacticTradingPostthat's because we live in a patriarchy.
@@GalacticTradingPost it’s not just you, I felt the same reading that comment and I am a woman. Weird. Wow.
@@GalacticTradingPostlet someone be positive damn
Holy Jesus Woman! You need your own network on prime time! Insane reno! I’m floored!
woman you are A POWERHOUSE !!
I've just watched the kitchen reno so far and I'm blown away by your stamina and style.
very inspiring.
The outdoor make over is really impressive. That is real major make over back breaking work. The outside of the house looks fantastic and gives a preview of what's to come when you step inside.
I was so in love with the house after you took the paint off and before you repainted it!! 😭
I know that cedar was so beautiful I wish she would’ve kept it bare
Very nice! Love that you reused the cabinets and hutch in the kitchen! The exterior looks great.
You’ve inspired me to make my own little house work rather than have to move. I don’t have the strength or skills to do all the work myself but I’m sure I can hire people. You’re incredible!

OH-MY-GOD! What a hardworking fairy you are! How do you cope with every single type of work? That's crazy! Amaizing, bravo!👏👏👏
I am VERY impressed with the fact you managed to integrate the vintage feel of your home and sophisticated design when many others would have just painted the walls millennial grey and put up a "Live Laugh Love" sign.

I have no words to express how impressive this makeover is ! You are so talented, I’m speechless !
You are a rockstar. I’m so happy to see a female doing this labor intensive job and being just as creative. 🤩 absolutely gorgeous work

The amount of work and the finished product is super impressive. Be very proud!
You are freaking amazing. How impressive!! Love love love. I love older homes fixed up rather than brand new homes.
Just an amazing work of art. Your eye for design is incredible. You should be so proud to display your master piece. I'm impressed the way you repurpose so much of your material in your design.
This transformation is so absolutely stunning. You're doing amazing work!
You might be the most handiest person I have ever watched!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just wow lady! Randomly found your channel - Super beautiful makeover - you are incredibly talented and you work so hard!!! #justwow
I don't think I've ever seen anyone patch/prime/paint a fridge. Cool idea. I couldn't help chuckle a little at the hardwood floor peninsula piece - BEEN THERE!! Impressed by how well-rounded you are in the DIY arena. Great video.

The designer is a SAINT to put up with such comments and clients constantlychanging their mind and disagreeing even between each orher
You go girl!! Have mercy your skills are out this world! So inspiring!
I can't believe how many skills you have, just wow. Beyond impressed
ok but those cabinets in the kitchen were so beautiful and unique-- it killed me when you sanded them down
Same 😭
Hard agree. The cabinets were adorable and the end result is so plain and boring. They were much better before
Those were dated and cheaply made, what she did was amazing.
I love how this came out. That kitchen was amazing.
Girl YOU DID THAT!!! omg that looks so incredibly gorgeous. It looks like a ski lodge or something I love it!!
I mean, wow, it's been a bit since I've commented. That's some outstanding work! I can hear R. Lee Ermey saying, "Outstanding!"
Wow, I’m thoroughly impressed by what you’ve done to that place. You inspire me to do more diy!
What a beautiful renovation! Thanks for sharing your journey, we're trying to follow along!
Your kitchen transformation blew me away! I am so inspired by you! We're currently trying to buy our second house and it's in similar shape. You gave me so many great ideas!
Thank you for explaining your time cost! So many of these videos are like before and after and ignore the 2 weeks it took to even sand.
Girl you are such an inspiration!! I love it! I can’t wait to get to this level!💯🔥
Love how you're reusing materials. That's beautiful
What is astounding -besides your beautiful vision of what this house could look like- is the fact that you did the physical work yourself as well👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Your skills and talents are infinite!🥰❣️Hope this means you can take a little break😊. The property value has bumped up significantly so your work is earning you equity too👍🏻
Wow. I'm in awe of your dedication to do things thoroughly and professionaly. Not just peel and sticking over blemishes. 10/10. Instant follow.
It makes me so happy that you didn't just trash the kitchen and put all new cabinets in and that you made the hutch into a kitchen cabinet.

Wow! What an awesome transformation. ❤ the colors and cozy style. One of the best jobs I’ve ever seen. You rock.
Completely amazing! When you covered up that door, I was blown away. Great job!

Been following your builds for a while now and I just have to say wow. Well done
It's so much fun to watch and be inspired by your creative solutions. But also beautiful to see a neighborhood supporting you in these endeavors.
It's a beautiful kitchen. I love the idea of the hutch and I want to try that in my kitchen.
My husband and I just bought a house in need of MASSIVE overhaul, and this video has given me a new courage I desperately needed, and much inspiration.

Truly impressed with your patience in this renovation, a normal contractor would skipped half of these steps. Fantastic job done right.
I'm sure you can definitely swing a sledgehammer 😂💪🏽 Nice work.
Wait, whuh? I watched this in utter amazement. I have a heapful of respect for your work ethic, resourcefulness and ingenuity, wow! What CAN"T you do? Thanks for reminding us what we are capable of😁
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I'm speechless at how amazing this transformation is. Can't wait to see the other rooms. Well done! 👏👏👏
I’ve watched this video like 8 times at this point. I’m so obsessed, I can’t stop ❤
Absolutely blown away by your skill, persistence, and eye for design. As someone who just bought a fixer-upper and looking to do these kinds of renovations, everything in this video seems so daunting yet incredibly inspiring to take on the challenge! You have a new subscriber and fan!
Amazing work, love your updates ❤️❤️❤️

Open shelving and art in the kitchen yells, I don’t cook!
I wish I had skills and patience and design sense you got. Bravo!
Exceptional word, indeed!!!!
Incredibly talented and gifted to have the vision to transform old to fresh and amazing. 🥰
Wow,My Grandpa was a Master Carpenter.Your work is Amazing,I really enjoy your remodeling on the house.
Melissa you should do a podcast and/or narration of a book etc... you voice is so soothing (in a good way)... Keep up the great work and congrats on the remodel!

I’m in awe of your talent, knowledge and dedication! You inspired me to go change my furnace air filter…baby steps right?! Great job on the work and videos.
WOW you are young and so tough.Looking so nice.
You've done a great job on remodeling this home, while keeping the original design (style) for the living room in tact. Most people don't know what to do with this kind of design, so they just gut it. The kitchen looks fabulous. Much better than a lot of what I have seen on You Tube. Keep up the good work!
So inspired to do more of my own DIY - I'm truly a beginner but now I want to learn seeing how custom you can make it all. The kitchen has so much inspo for what we are going for and the texture you brought in was *chefs kiss*

What a journey!! I am incredibly impressed by how much you achieved, and couldn't imagine myself accomplishing a fraction of that. The most amazing part for me was when you recycled and thought of a way to refurbish the cabinets. Not only is it cost effective, but it preserves the history of the original cabinet in that it continues to exist in the house post-renovation, but the cherry on top is its also a statement piece, by you, the designer. I absolutely had to comment on that. Saving what you can in always going to be a plus in my book!

You absolutely rock. And doing it all on your own. You are a true inspiration
All I can say is that you are very talented person, definitely you got out of your shell. Doing a wonderful job.
