A mother-of-two who used to own an ‘ugliest house on the street’ revealed how she transformed it.
Joanne Lewis and her partner purchased a home by the sea in 2017, but it was “upside-down” as the bedrooms and bathroom were on the ground floor and kitchen and living room were on the second floor.
The couple planned to renovate their house by adding an extension on the ground floor for their kitchen. Joanne shared the process of home transformation on social media writing, “We changed the windows in the living room, from rectangle to square.’’
“The house itself was square so we worked with what we had keeping the theme of the house square but modern. After all this is a stepping stone to our forever home. So working with what we had was key.’’
“Upstairs was the kitchen and lounge. We created a hallway which would lead into one master bedroom, a second bedroom and a shower room.”
The couple documented their renovation as they added wood to the balcony areas and added a new staircase. Joanne said, “A year later we added another floor to the house.’’
“Making the house four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two balconies with sea views. The house was rendered. Wood added to balcony areas. Intended to paint the wood black but still unsure.’’
“Aluminium fascia was added to the roof and under balconies. Paving on the driveway completed. Electricity box is still to be covered with wood that matches the house.”
The couple is about to welcome two children and they have added a nursery and a new bedroom too. The mother continued, “Another nursery and our new bedroom.’’
“The original master bedroom below, with the built in wardrobes is now a dressing room. This has been finished very recently, still working on furnishing the main room. Sky light above the bed means perfect star gazing at night.”
The couple shared before and after photos of their garden and the transformation is incredible. The mother shared the transformation on Twitter writing: “The ugliest house on the street” as quoted by a neighbor… “Well, not anymore.”
Her post garnered thousands of likes and comments as people were amazed to see the result. One rote: “This is incredible. Well done! Looks like a massive job.”
Another added: “What an amazing transformation. I bet it’s easily the nicest house on the street now.”
A third said: “Love this, such an amazing transformation!”
One asked: “Did you knock it down and build a new one? Looks fantastic.”
Joanne said: “A modern home by the sea is the end result to what was once a garage, then a 2 bedroom house now a four-bed. It’s still a work in progress. But very nearly complete.”
