If you don’t already follow @chrislovesjulia on Instagram it is time to start! I have been following along on their home renovation journey for a while now and let me tell you, the before and after shots are INSANE! They completely transformed their home into a gorgeous modern day cottage. Today, we are sharing our favorite after photos from the renovation. This house is too good! Come check it out!

For starters, this living room is a dream. This beautiful arched window has to be my favorite aspect of this space. I love how they painted it black to contrast against the creamy white walls. This space seems so cozy and is filled with so much natural light. I love the natural earth tones brought in through the furniture and textures of this living room.

Another great shot looking into the living room. As you all know, I love an arched doorway and this one is no exception. There are so many beautiful details in this home. The black and white tile floors leading into the white washed wood of the living room is perfection!

This home just keeps on getting better! I normally don’t prefer a color for cabinets but I am loving what this green is doing for this space. This kitchen looks so warm and inviting.

It is all in the details in this bathroom! OBSESSED with everything about this vanity,., the countertops, the backsplash, the reeding on the cabinet faces and the hardware. All of it compliments each other so well.

Again, another gorgeous shot of this bathroom. I love the continuation of the tile around the room, the detail of the wood slats on the ceiling and the freestanding tub. If you notice, arches seem to be a common theme in this home and I am all here for it!

I don’t think I’d ever want to leave this bed. Doesn’t it just look so cozy with the fireplace? I think my favorite pieces of this room have to be the bench at the foot of the bed and the rug.

This second living space is great too! I am a big fan of the black walls and trim, such a great way to elevate a space!

Happy Monday y’all! xox
