At long last, here’s a full video tour of both sides of the duplex. Many of you asked for a complete walkthrough (or wondered if you’d missed one), so today we’re sharing the whole thing. I recommend watching just to see my utter relief at the end when we finally cross the finish line — WE. ARE. DONE.
In the video I talk through the choices we made during the renovation and point out the changes that made the biggest practical and aesthetic improvements to the house. It’s a good way to see how the rooms flow, how the two mirrored units differ, and how each space functions in real life. Click play to watch the walk-through below:
The video is also useful for getting a feel for the layout — you can see both kitchens, all bedrooms, and bathrooms, and watch how we handled similar spaces with different finishes and decor.
If you’re reading in a feed reader you may need to open the post to view the video. You can also watch the tour on YouTube.
We’ve also published a comprehensive Duplex Source List for everyone who asked for sources over the past months. It’s thorough and includes the items and finishes we used throughout the renovation. The source list is available on its own page and is also linked from our Instagram profile.
Here’s a screenshot of the top of that page so you can get a preview (the image itself links to the full source list):
If you’d like more detail or additional angles, we’ve covered nearly every room in separate posts. Those deep dives include before-and-after photos and more context about decisions, finishes, and layouts. The posts include:
- The front porch makeover
- Before & after of the back of the duplex
- Finished bathrooms & bedrooms
- More beds, baths, and hallways
- Before & afters of the living rooms & dining rooms
- The two finished kitchen reveals
- Duplex mudrooms & laundry rooms
- Bonus sleeping nooks, a linen closet, and the owner’s locked closet
- Backyards: patios, sheds, outdoor showers, and more
Between the full video tour, the source list, and the individual room posts, you should be able to see the full scope of the project and get the specifics on materials, paint colors, and layout solutions we used to transform this duplex into a welcoming vacation rental.
