Hey everyone, with everything going on how many hosts are doing construction, renovations or improvements to your STR while your down? My wife and I decided to go ahead and do a large renovation while we’re without guests.
Here’s a few of the before and after:

Will post bathroom/kitchen pics soon!
Everyone share your reno/update adventures, too.
Which is the before? I like the dark floors best…

I purchased this home furnished and made some improvements. The top is the improved dining area with a larger table and area rug. We also worked on the backyard. Removed tree stump, replaced deck railings and added a staircase.
Dangggg! Thats a nice rug and table. That whole place looks awesome. That’s a hell of a view out the door. 
Thank you so much : )
So far I’ve only started a rock wall reno outside. Well I’m not doing it, the next door neighbor is doing most the work. I will help with some things and I’m doing all the ordering and paying for materials.
I regrouted the Airbnb bathroom floor but that’s maintenence, not a reno.
I am seriously considering starting demolition on my bathroom. I had lined up a contractor but postponed once I got back from my out of town trip. Now I’m considering going ahead with it but doing the demolition myself. I don’t think I’m up for a whole bathroom reno myself. If I had a skilled friend maybe but I don’t.
Yeah, the demolition is the easy part.
That’s gorgeous!! Where are you with my dream house? 
Thank you so much : )
That looks fantastic. I can’t have dark finishes here due to scale deposits from hard water.
Same here. I did the guest bathroom walls in dark emerald green tiles, which are beautiful, but a pain to keep looking clean. I did the other shower in light sage green, which doesn’t show the calcium deposits, but at the time I bought both colors, they were an end of the line sale ($8 for a box of 90 4"x4" tiles! The Mexican decorative tiles, but the high-fired ones that don’t easily chip) and there was only enough of each color to do one shower stall.
I think the before pictures look pretty dang good! Nice upgrades and beautiful home.
Gorgeous deck renovation and lovely home. 
Thank you so much : )
I just noticed the stair layout, thats pretty awesome!
Is the outlet now behind the dishwasher a GFCI outlet, or on a GFCI circuit? If not it needs to be. National electrical code calls for it.
