A COUPLE has wowed with their impressive home transformation.
Michelle Phillips showed off the before and after of her reno, telling viewers she feels like a “baddie” in her new kitchen.
Michelle (@phlippingourhome) and her husband bought a house in Pennsylvania that needed a full renovation.
The pair had no DIY experience when they began to work on transforming the property, which was built four decades ago.
“My husband Eric and I bought this 1980s home that had never seen a single update ever,” Michelle said in a clip uploaded to Instagram.
“Although we really didn’t have any experience with home improvement projects, we definitely had a vision for this home and we were so ready to bring it to life.
“We replaced all of the flooring and immediately tackled the kitchen, where we learned a lot.
“There were so many firsts like painting kitchen cabinets, building a range hood, and tiling backsplash but when we finally got it done we were so motivated to keep going.”
Michelle said she learned to lead with function when deciding how each room of the house should be modernized.
She and Eric used the Ikea kitchen planner for help rather than hiring a professional designer.

Michelle explained that their aim was to make each space a “breath of fresh air.”
The dated dark wooden cupboards in the kitchen were given a new lease of life with a coat of paint bought from Ikea in the color pewter green by Sherwin Williams.
Having retiled the floor, the pair also replaced the beige-toned walls with new white tiles to make the room appear brighter and bigger.
They continued to overhaul the room by upgrading the appliances and swapping the cream worktops for Nero Picasso leathered quartzite.
“This transformation makes me feel like a baddie every dang day,” Michelle captioned a post on TikTok.
The post racked up thousands of views with commenters gushing over the finished results of Michelle’s kitchen transformation.
“The kitchen is gorgeous! My esthetic all the way,” one wrote.
Another commented: “Thank God you fixed those floors. That old tile was atrocious.”
“Amazing transformation, I love it,” another said.
