This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Houston, Texas.

This large brick rancher was the epitome of buried potential. The curb appeal was lacking, due to bushy, let-go landscaping. The front and back entry ways were nearly barricaded, both by leftover debris and nature's slow toll. Inside, wood paneling, wallpaper, and water damage plagued nearly every room. Now, everything has been brightened up. From a clean exterior, to a breezy, neutral interior, this residence is resident-ready!
