20 Houses That Changed So Much After Renovations, You Can Easily Mistake Them for Different Places

No matter how much we’d like to hide it, we all have a wall in our house that we ought to fix or stains that need a coat of paint that we always leave for “later.” Sure thing. But we all know that some people take so long to fix these things that the flaws end up becoming part of the actual design of the environment. But there are also people who not only are willing to fix their home, but also strive to take the changes to a whole new level.

Bright Side gathered 20 photos posted by users who decided to get down and dirty to fix up their homes themselves, and in some cases, they left them completely different from how they were in the beginning.
