After: White Brick Front Exterior With Purple Flowers

This French Country home is chock full of curb appeal. Designers added a second story in the renovation, increasing the bedroom count from two to five. At the front entrance, an open-air brick porch has room for rocking chairs and friends (furry and otherwise). Purple blooms are a beautiful pop of color against the white.

A round, porthole-style window is a sweet surprise in this stairwell, leading up and out of the dining room. For a buffet, a rustic wood dresser matches the farmhouse charm of the room's white brick fireplace.
