1. A Year-Long Transformation
“Before/after of my new place. Moved in about a year ago but finally got it fully cleaned up now!”
2. Budget-Friendly Magic
“Almost all the pieces were thrifted, bought secondhand, or found on sale. My girlfriend worked wonders on a budget.”

5. Step-by-Step Makeover
“Before, middle, and after shots of my very own living room. Patience pays off!”
6. The Star of the Kitchen
“This gourmet stove does it all — convection, wok, griddle, fish, pizza… it’s basically my kitchen’s centerpiece.”
7. A Proud First Homeowner
“At 22, I bought my own detached home. I couldn’t afford much décor at first, but this weekend I gave my room the makeover it deserved!”

10. From Reno to Dream Home
