There are many things that bloggers go nuts for: peonies, easy craft projects, cake pops and a good ‘before and after’ story. Personally, I am drawn to seeing the potential and possibilities of the before shots and then seeing how dreams have been realised in the after shots. I spent the majority of my Saturday morning oohing and aahing over these before and after photos I found on Country Living (it was a fabulous way to spend a Saturday morning with a pot of coffee)! Here are some of my favourites:

  8. You are right, before and afters is a wonderful thing. What a fabulous find of a home. I think I need a project like that..... perhaps one day I'll have a vacation home. Love the bones the home had.

  10. What a great transformation! I love how they have retained most of the original features. I have always wanted to start my own renovation project, but don't think I'll ever have the time and skill to finish it.

    I'd love to find a little country church one day a convert it into a dream home.

    Thanks for dropping by my blog, we don't have dry biccies, I promise!
