Did somebody order a makeover of a 1928 Spanish bungalow beach-house today? No? Are you sure? Well, I’ve already got it ready, so this one’s one the house.
Side note: Has that ever happened to you in real life with real food? I went to a smoothie place with some friends a couple months ago, and the smoothie workers were … what the French call ‘les incompetent,’ and they kept messing up other people’s smoothie orders and just giving the extras to us. Cool right? No. We ended up with seven smoothies for three people, and not even good smoothies, accident smoothies. You can only drink so much smoothie. There’s a smoothie limit. I can’t even say smoothie that many times without it starting to getting weird. Smooooothie. I haven’t had one since.
Anyway, Dorie is the opposite of les incompetent, and brought life back to this adorable Ventura home before putting it on the market where it lasted approximately six seconds.
Check out her blog Tuesdays With Dorie to see the interior!
YAY!!! New post!!! Awesome!
Sooooooooooooo happy you are back & blogging again! You were truly & hugely missed!! 😊
Yesssssssssssss!!!!!
I’ve been wanting a beach bungalow for years now and it just hasn’t happened. This is incredible. Someone needs to give me lots of money so I can buy one.
Welcome home, Lindsey. Glad you’re back.
Your smoothie story is hilarious. Glad to see your wacky storytelling is still well-honed. Oh, love the redo on the bungalow.
This post made me smile! Such a cute house, and I’m excited you’re back.
Lovely transformation. I love the interior too.
So glad to have you back. I’ve missed you and your blog. 😀

I have this bungalow saved on my Mac! A big transformation with simple steops!
A feast for the eyes and the soul…having you back is better than all the free smoothies in the world.
This morning I was thinking about you, Lindsay….
And here you are! So pleased to have you posting again! You were missed!
It was so ugly and now it looks so fabulous! Makes me want to go makeover a home (almost)!
Ok, what gives? We get you back – HORRAY! You introduce us to a fabulous talent but she stopped blogging almost two years ago – BUMMER! Great having you back!!
WOAH!!!i was mindblown by this idea!its like a tiny-huge house…thank you so much for this!
So glad to see you… surviving life circumstances…….. funny, you featured a couple of my make overs. I was redoing my library card catalog for the third time and thought about you……………went to my computer and there you were… Happy Face here! Welcome back!
SO GLAD YOU’RE BACK!!! Wait, am I yelling? Well, yes, I might be a little but I am so darned happy you’re back. I checked your website every couple of weeks, occasionally leaving an encouraging comment. I’m so happy you’ve been able to climb out of the black hole or at least you’ve been able to see sunshine at the top of that blasted hole. Even though we’ve never met, I am so proud of you! Keep taking those deep breaths and taking it a day at a time. Woohoo, Lindsey.
You are the first blog I ever followed as recommended to me by my sister. Glad your back and wishing you all the best in your latest life phase.
I know, I know! So sad!! Come back Dorie!
Tuesdays with Dorie was seriously MY FAVE blog and since she’s been gone the last 2 years, my heart hurts. Bad. Maybe you coming back and sharing her amazingness will encourage her to come back…. here’s to hoping! *FINGERS FREAKIN’ CROSSED!*
Love it.
Your new site looks FABULOUS!
i’m glad you’re back in my life.
I am sooooo happy you’re back 🙂 Love this renovation! I’ve been having fun looking over Dorie’s blog, too!
Every few months I check this site to see if you are back and I was so excited to see new stuff!!! Been following you for years. No one is as funny/scratches my diy itch. These pictures are amazing. Makes me want to do something with my exterior.
I rarely read blogs any more – there are a couple that I still follow, and when I sat down at my computer to eat lunch just now neither of them had posted anything new. So I went down my list and saw Better After and thought, “ooh, I used to love that one!” Had no idea that you hadn’t been posting and have had such a rough year, but I’m glad you’re back and I will add this one to my list to check regularly again! (And I agree with the others that I just LOVE seeing the before and afters, but also that everything you post is interesting and fun, so do what you’d like!)
Love the Change!
