Of the many before and after posts I've featured on fleaChic, none are
as special as dilapidated or abandoned houses that have been restored.

I hope you enjoy today's inspiring projects.

Sadly, the majority of dilapidated old treasures are never restored
to their former glory.  Here are two photographs of the same street
in Detroit; the top one was taken in the 1920s and the bottom one
was taken last year:

  1. There is nothing nicer than to see a house brought back to its former glory, such a tragic loss when buildings are left to rot.

  4. The x was an arch/developer so I understand a lot of what is going on here.
    Good bones and desire mean so much.
    One of my favorites was the after golden/orange small home with the dramatic pillars.
    Outstanding.
    Have a lovely weekend.

    cheers, parsnip

  5. Oh so many wonderful changes - nothing makes my heart sing louder than seeing an old house saved, rather than be torn down. Thanks so much for sharing.

    big hug

  6. It is almost unbelievable what beautiful homes were to come from the "ugly ducklings". I saw more than a couple that I wouldn't mind touring.

  9. Amazing what a little love, money and hard work can do to restore some great places with amazing bones.
