After: Bold Blue

Karen and Mina gave this quaint abode an instantly eye-catching facelift by opting for bold blue paint with contrasting white window frames.

After: Lemon Yellow

How cheerful is this lemon yellow backyard renovation? Karen and Mina used two yellow tones to give the home an extra sunny disposition.

After: Teal Trim

Karen and Mina made a case for teal accents with this contrasting curb appeal.

Before: Toned-Down Taupe

Karen and Mina had a relatively blank canvas when working with the Spicebush house — especially in the backyard.

After: A Case for Color

To liven up the space, Karen and Mina brought in new colorful French doors, patio furniture and hot pink flowers.

Before: Bare Bones

Before Mina and Karen worked their magic, the house on Terrace looked near shambles.

After: Creamy Curb Appeal

But, once they were done, the house on Terrace looked downright picturesque with fresh cream-colored paint, a newly renovated front porch, and minimal shrubbery out front.

After: Storybook Appeal

But, once Mina and Karen got their hands on it, the Indianapolis home looked like something out of a storybook.

Before: Shutters and Bushes, Oh My!

The original front of the Sanders house featured bulky shutters, an overgrown bush, and unruly grass.

After: Shutters Begone!

After Karen and Mina came to town, however, it transformed into a bright, well-kept home, without shutters taking away from the front-facing facade.

Before: Dark and Dreary

Karen and Mina worked on another property on Sanders, only this one was noticeably darker than the last, giving it an unpleasantly moody look.

After: Gorgeous in Gray

Mina and Karen transformed the once-dark home by giving it a bright and welcoming gray-and-white facelift.

Before: A Boring Backyard

Karen and Mina had their work cut out for them with this drab backyard.

After: Quaint Accents

Mina and Karen updated the boring backyard by washing the house in a coat of white paint, accented with baby blue doors. By adding a back deck, they created a cozier space to gather, too.

After: A Place to Gather

But they didn't stop there! They added the ultimate hang space in the corner of the backyard, with a table that transforms into a firepit.

Before: Overgrown Bushes

The original exterior of the 728 Lexington house featured overgrown bushes that took away from the curb appeal of the home's structure.

After: Statement Structure

Thankfully, Mina and Karen excavated the row of unruly bushes to reveal the home's unique structure, which they refreshed with two hues of purple paint.

Before: Uninspiring Backyard

The original backyard of the 728 Lexington house was nothing to get excited over.

After: A Party-Ready Backyard

But once Mina and Karen gave it a makeover, complete with plenty of space to sit and to mingle, it became one of the most welcoming areas of the home.

Before: Spooky Silhouette

At first glance, this home gave off a spooky vibe.

After: Cheerful Gathering Space

Once Mina and Karen poured a little love and effort into it, however, it turned into a cheerful space to gather with friends and family.

Before: Dated Appearance

The original front exterior of the 730 Lexington house looked like a rundown abode designed for geriatric occupants.

After: A Revitalized Appeal

Mina and Karen gave the Lexington home a modern update by removing the rails, using buttercream paint, and creating a focal point with a head-turning blue door.

Before: A Unique Frame

The house on Orange Street, which was originally a three-unit home, looked nothing short of disheveled before the Good Bones team arrived.

After: Lime Green Accents

Karen and Mina revitalized the home with fresh neutral paint juxtaposed against a lime green fence.

Before: Dull Palette

The original exterior of the house on Capitol was admittedly dull and worn down.

After: Painted Purple

With a fresh coat of purple paint and fresh white trim, however, it looked like a brand new house.

After: Statement Door

And, when you look closely, you'll notice that a contrasting baby blue door stands waiting to welcome guests.

After: White Brick

While the before image of this home isn't available, we think that we can all agree that the painted white brick really tied this home together.

Before: Brick Blockade

The original front entrance of the duplex that Mina and Karen renovated seemed blocked off with bricks.

After: Private Porches

To make it look more inviting, Mina and Karen painted the brick white and created private spaces for each duplex on either side of the front porch.

After: Bohemian Backyard

Karen and Mina turned the new deck and outside eating area on one side of the duplex into a beautiful Bohemian retreat.

Before: Weathered Wood

This wood-paneled home looked weathered, thanks to its faded gray paint.

After: Juniper Green

By opting for the homeowner's favorite juniper green hue, Karen and Mina were able to breathe new life into the home's curb appeal.

Before: Mismatched Paint

The original front exterior of the first home that Mina and Karen were renovating in Garfield Park looked to be painted out of sorts.

After: Cohesive Color Palette

They gave it a unified appeal by opting for white and pale gray paint, accented with a wood-railed porch.

Before: Boarded From View

This Garfield Park home originally featured uninviting boarded-up windows and a weathered roof.

After: Updated Enclosed Porch

To make the home seem more welcoming, Karen and Mina transformed the boarded-up porch into a sunny enclosed space.

After: A Peek Inside

Karen and Mina made the most of the sun-filled enclosed porch by outfitting it with a vertical garden and cozy conversation set.

Before: An Outdated Color Palette and Frame

The frame and color palette of this house made it look like a relic of the '70s or '80s.

After: Modern Gray Update

To give it a modern refresh, Karen and Mina extended the porch and repainted the exterior, creating a warm, welcoming allure from first glance.

Before: Boarded Up

The Talbott house was originally boarded up and overgrown.

After: Radiant Reno

Karen and Mina gave it a new lease on life by painting it white, updating the porch with wood flooring and creating a well-kept bed of shrubbery out front.

Before: Burned to a Crisp

The original fire-damaged exterior of the house on Charles looked to be on its last leg.

After: Masculine Gray Update

But with Mina and Karen's insight, it was revitalized with dark gray paint and a series of shrubs.

Before: Minimalist Silhouette

The original exterior of the condo unit on Union was minimalist with white brick and an unkempt front yard.

After: Gorgeous Greenery

Mina and Karen updated the curb appeal by manicuring the lawn, creating a small front bed, and hanging ferns from the porch and roof of the home.
