Earlier this year, you showed us your hundreds of incredible home remodels. See which ones were finalists, and get ready to enter your own in the 2013 Reader Remodel Contest
We have a larger, more energy-efficient home with a bright, sunny, open floor plan on the first floor, and two spacious bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. We went from small and dark to bright and airy. The floors are my favorite. My husband custom-trimmed each window and door. We moved the old front door to the back door and reused an antique door for the bathroom. After two years, we designed a new front porch and had a local carpenter work on it with us. We love sitting on the porch waving to our neighbors!
Who did the work: I did some of the work myself, but a contractor did most of it. Cost: $50,000–$100,000
