Barnhouse Renovation Before & Afters!!
Before & After

Over the last four years, we took this neglected 1875-built house and turned it into our home, we lovingly call the Bay View Barnhouse! Every space in this house has now been renovated (I would say finished, but for me nothing is truly “done”, just “done for now”) so I thought I would share all the Before and Afters in one place!

The Kitchen
From a dark, dingy, carpeted kitchen to light and bright, CLICK HERE for the full kitchen makeover.


The Dining Nook
So enjoyable to sit here with coffee in the morning, CLICK HERE for the refresh.


The Pantry
You’ve seen a lot of this space on social media, I just can’t get enough! CLICK HERE for the renovation.
I added wallpaper later on here!


The Living Room
This living room took years to get right, this paneling/wallpaper was finally the right combination to complete the space! CLICK HERE for details!


The Mudroom
Probably the most dramatic before + after of the whole house, CLICK HERE for more.


The Office
This space had some tricky ductwork once we took out the radiators, but the built-ins and Black Evergreen paint was a perfect solution!


The Downstairs Bathroom
I love a fun wallpaper, especially in a guest bathroom. CLICK HERE for the full renovation.


The Stairway
Paint totally transformed this original staircase. And this gallery wall is my favorite in our home! Paint colors here.


The Main Bedroom
There have been lots of changes to make this space truly calming, CLICK HERE.


The Nursery
This house was previously a duplex, and the kitchen upstairs became a bedroom, and eventually Lil’ Yolo’s room! CLICK HERE


The Playroom
The most fun I’ve ever had with thrifting, our girl loves to be in here! See the playroom transformation, CLICK HERE.


The Upstairs Bathroom
We carved out some space on the landing to create this bathroom, and the most photographed nook in the house. Curious to see more? CLICK HERE



The Loft
Once we removed the crooked chimney from the carpeted attic, we were able to create a guest space, office and art studio. More here!



The Backyard
The backyard was truly a labor of love. Mr. Yolo built everything in the yard, laid every brick, and the sod to give our family a yard to enjoy! CLICK HERE for the backyard makeover!

Amazing . . . your blog is really awesome and i really loved it !!!!
Wow! What an amazing transformation! I can’t even imagine the cost. Did you do all the work yourselves?
Not on this one! I designed it, and a crew worked on it for 9 months before we moved in and did the finishing work.
Wow! You took on such a huge project. The results are amazing and beautiful. Well done!
What a tremendously beautiful transformation. Every room flows…
