Welcome: Before Meets After

Hi! I’m Lisa from Before Meets After. Jessica and I met at Haven and soon discovered we both have a love for Western New York. She lives there and my whole family lives there! I was so excited when she asked me to be a guest on her blog today!

Before Meets After is a place to find DIY projects, furniture transformations, and frugal finds! 

 Welcome to my home!

We remodeled our kitchen last year. It’s not 100% complete, but a renovation is a process, especially if you’re doing it on a budget! 

It’s come a long way! 

 

Our Keeping Room is where we spend most of our time.

I’m also in the process of “lightening up” our dining room. Before it was VERY dark. Now I’m working on finding lighter, more casual pieces. Again, it’s not finished. I still have a storage solution to work out, wall art, and possibly new chairs. I’ve been inviting my readers to vote on different aspects of my dining room. I hope you’ll join me for the next vote!

Restoring furniture is also a hobby of mine. This all started when we moved into ouur new house. It was big and empty and we couldn’t afford new furniture. So I begain scouring thrift stores and flea markets for the perfect piece at the perfect price.What started as finding things for my home, gradually turned into a business!

One of my favorite pieces was this Avocado Table.

 I also enjoyed turning this 80’s hutch into a farmhouse cabinet!

   

I’ve got plenty more furniture transformations that include step by step directions on how to achieve different looks.

I hope you’ll join me over at Before Meets After for more furniture transformations and DIY projects! 

Thanks for having me Jessica!
