Welcome to the RENOVATING PROJECT GALLERY for Dans le Lakehouse! If you’ve checked out my DIY PROJECT GALLERY and are hungry for bigger projects, you’re in luck! Here you’ll find lots of our renovations and home improvement projects, even some DIY repairs! Some bigger jobs (like our new copper metal roof!) were hired out, but there’s tons of budget-friendly renovation projects Handy Hubby and I have tackled on our own. We’ve got lots of simple ways to update and improve your home – and some major before/after makeovers too.
The renovation projects are organized by room to make everything a little easier to find. See something you like? Hover over an image to see the title and then just click through to find the step-by-step project tutorial. Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram (where I share project sneak peeks) and Pinterest (where I share tons of inspiration).
