Almost 10 years ago, after we remodeled our old 1920's home, we were featured in Phoenix Home and Garden (June 2001 issue, all photos by Christiaan Blok). I came across the magazine the other day while cleaning out some boxes and couldn't believe how much has changed in our home in those 10 short years. I thought it would be fun to do a little comparing...
We still have plenty of grapefruit...
The biggest difference is probably in what 10 years ago was a 5 year old's bedroom and bathroom, to what has become home to a teenager. I didn't style it or clean it for a photo, it just is what it is. We are actually in the works of painting and redoing her room a bit, so stay tuned for a possible bedroom makeover in the near future...
Now I just need to dig up some old pictures of the house from before we remodeled it...

oh stunning! beautiful then and now, love how the neutral tans have crept in and mix so well with the whites.
Both the before and after is amazing. I do love that it's all been warmed up just a bit. It looks more lived in and cozy now. You have such a beautiful home.
got a big chuckle out of the "teenage" room! Have a couple of them myself. You have great style.
I remember that issue! My girlfriend Ashley used to work for you & she was so excited about the feature! Your home looks amazing!
Hi Bev,
Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed seeing what has changed in that 10 year period.
I will jump on the bandwagon too and agree with everyone above that you have a really beautiful home.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Take care

I agree with everyone on the before AND after being equally as beautiful. I love your added touches of rustic/industrial and of course your kitchen redo is incredible.

The thing I love most is "the more things change the more things stay the same". Your house looks different but still distinctively you and that is truly what a beautiful home is...something that reflects the owner and the owner's personal style...and you have accomplished that with grace.
