all it takes is a lot of money (and someone with good taste to design it)

It's blocking the view

that looks like a complete demolition - reconstruction

When I was young I had fantasies about doing this. Nice to see someone who actually did it!

I really like the makeovers, but it seems less "before and after design" but more like "before and after huge amounts of money". I'd like to see some redisigns made with a small Budget. ;_;

Lovely. What is the deck material? Anyone know?

Not a big fan of stucco, but this looks nice and clean in white with black? slate gray? trim and roof.

The before isn't that bad, but the after is STUNNING!

That "before" photo must be a "during" photo.

Now this is luxury

Hmmmmm I like it

Oh yes! A pool is another thing I want. Doesn’t need to be Olympic size either. Not sure of the length of this one, but long enough for laps and wide enough to turn is good enough for me.

I love it

A true "before" picture would show how it looked before demolition had begun.

Almost a complete demolition and rebuild. But it's nice to see the old large building still standing with it's cobblestone addition. They did a fantastic job blending old with new. I especially love the brick walkway and how they built up the stone wall to the right of the outbuilding.

Seems like a british house... actually most of these look like british houses

The first one is so messy, it makes me think that the second one will end up the same way in a while...

What a difference a clean floor and beautiful staging makes.

I have questions about that

The ground in the first picture seems very uneven. What a terrific use of landscaping.

Everything looks better when you add a cat

I never really understood the need for a bathroom this large.

Wow I think they knocked a wall down

All those bright lights scared the sheep away. :-P

That is satisfying organization, but those clothes on the shelves aren't going to stay centered

I hate this after so much. looks a damn mess and cheap as hell. I want cabinetry, not open shelves with greasy, dusty dishes. we have cats-cat hair would get into everything. not my cuppa.

Taking over and renovating after a hoarder is more than a LOT of work. It's sanitizing, deodorizing and all that too.

before and a bazillion dollars later...

So gorgeous it doesn't look real.
