5 Dramatic Before & Afters To Inspire Your Next Home Makeover
There’s nothing better than a dramatic before and after reveal. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure to assist many homeowners with their renovations and take great joy in sharing the transformations here.
For us, these before and afters are the fuel that gets our creativity flowing. We hope you enjoy these 5 before and afters and feel inspired to take on some projects in your own home.
1. McGrath
We worked with Sean & Carrie years ago to transform their home into something that reflects their personalities. They hired Tuck Interiors, which was Punch Inside at the time, and Judith Mackin to come into their home and transform what they referred to as their ‘university style’ to something that better reflects who they are now.
You can learn more about this transformation by reading the original before & after post here.

2. Shea & Gamble
Another one of our favourite makeovers is the home of Jennifer Shea & David Gamble. The couple enlisted the services of Tuck Interiors and Judith Mackin to makeover their new home. The goal was to brighten and modernize the home to better reflect Jennifer & David’s personal style.

One of the most dramatic changes was painting out the red sunroom and bringing in some fresh and modern furniture and accents from Tuck.

3. Sheppard
Jeff Sheppard came to us after completing some renovations in his new home. While the renos turned out beautifully, the home was in need of some decorations and finishing touches. Enter Tuck Interiors & Judith Mackin. We filled the home with new furniture and decor from Tuck.

4. Darling
The Darling Cottage is simply darling! This cottage makeover is among our favourite before and after transformations. One of the most impactful changes was the removal of the living room wall, creating more space for a larger dining table and letting light into the kitchen and side entry.

5. Kavanaugh
We worked with Jennifer & Jordan Kavanaugh years ago to makeover their new home. The renovations included a new kitchen, painting throughout the home, refacing the living room fireplace, and replacing the tiles in the front entrance.
Not shown in the photo below is the amazing view from the living room. By painting the walls out white, the room not only feels brighter, but it allows the eye to focus on what’s really important, their spectacular view. Read the full before and after for photos.
