I almost didn’t do a recap. It felt unnecessary, or like I didn’t have enough to show. But mentally, I needed the reminder that progress was made, even when it didn’t feel obvious at the time. 2025 felt slow while I was living it. Looking back at the before and afters, I realized how much actually happened. This is just a recap of projects that were started and finished. I’ll share a more personal, non-project reflection of 2025 in a separate post. For now, here are some of the bigger ones: • Fully painted exterior with replaced siding and proper window trim • Fauxyer finished and used every single day • Primary bathroom remodel complete • Upstairs guest bath painted (yes, it’s green) and done • Designed and helped flip a house with @tacticalbuilders, including a small-budget kitchen • Designed and built the fireplace at the flip house • Created a sanctuary bathroom for C, fully his vision • Finished the guest bath linen closet after way too much procrastination • Wrapped up a primary bedroom makeover for the buyers of our old house Maybe it didn’t feel fast or exciting in the moment, but a lot moved forward. Sometimes you don’t see progress until you stop and look. homerenovationideas BeforeAndAfter OldHouseRenovation FixerUpperLife casasconencanto
