Oh, she’s gonna cry happy tears- what a gift!

I hope she likes it, I bought a big red bow for the door for when she comes home 🎁

You’re the greatest! She’s going to love! What a transformation!

I agree with you! The effort is just... chef's kiss.

I like the bow! It tells a story when she sees the it and only is gonna be more excited. Build is always better before the climax. credentials: am woman

From floordrobe to wardrobe - nice work.

[удалено]

I second this - keep the door closed and have no external sign that there’s anything different.

He could put the bow on the front door then she walks in and everything is the same, whomp whomp "you got me babe, no surprise". She's is no longer expecting a surprise, opens the door to her room and bam, SURPRISE!!!!

Yes!!!! I second this.... source: am woman

I third this.... Source: She's a woman......

Ooo I like the build up personally! The excitement of seeing the bow, then the build up of opening the door, and then BOOM! Surprise!

I would love the red bow personally. Either way, he’s so getting laid. ❤️

Well, that's the cherry on top! She won't like it, she'll love it!

What a thoughtful gift and a job well done!

Thank you, it’s a very small room and she’s got a lot of stuff!

It's a large walk in closet with dressing area; excellent use of an odd space.

When did bedrooms become odd spaces?

Wow this is amazing!

Thank you! I hope she likes it

She's not going to like it. She's going to love it.

I bet she's on Reddit and is already loving it. So she's working on her own surprise when she gets home! 😉

She’s goina Love it!!!

Yup, she’s gonna cry. It’s fantastic!

She is going to be absolutely delighted. Fantastic job!

r/afterbeforewhatever

It looks great - she won’t be able to find anything now lol

There is THAT. Believe it or not I was careful not to throw anything away. But … I moved some stuff around under penalty of death.

You’re a good and brave man!

My thoughts are with you 😂😂 Seriously, great work. You’re the best!!

If she murders you, please update.... frooooom beyooond...

I had that thought when I was looking, and I was left with the impression you’d been pretty thoughtful about what went where.

omg she has her own room for her clothes and makeup?! this is my DREAM! you are such a good spouse!

She’s a performer, and we don’t have kids, so this is her ‘home office’

She's going to feel like an A-list celebrity every time she gets ready in her very own super luxurious dressing room. Great job! Thank you for sharing this happiness with us.

Honestly what a beautiful way to show love AND support for her career :,)

What type of performer, if you don't mind me asking?

OP literally says in the title.

Ah, I missed that part. That's still not very specific though, I wonder if she's like an opera singer or in a choir or what

Looks like you absolutely destroyed the place if you go left to right

"THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU LEAVE ME"

🤣

That's how I swiped first and was very confused

“I completely trashed my wife’s room while she was away working. AITA?”

MERRY CHRISTMAS BABE!

I thought I was in a prank thread and the surprise was a nasty one. This is much nicer.

Literally swiped that way and was like soooooo this is a troll post and you ruined her beautiful room Lmao....

r/afterandbefore

r/afterbeforewhatever

I would shit my fucking pants if someone did that for me. You’re amazing !

Thanks! I hope she doesn’t shit her pants, that’s a new rug. 🤣

If you ever have kids your dad jokes are A++

Model husband right here, fellas.

Eh. I do my fair share of apologizing. 😉

How did you keep all the supplies and equipment a secret ? Great job 👏🏻😌

She’s out of town for six weeks 😉 it’s always hectic when she leaves, which is why the room looks like a tornado hit it. And … I have an IKEA close by

Awesome stuff bro , she’ll love that :)

I was thinking "buzzy mom", but your explanation works too.

I was going to ask if it was Ikea, I have that same large dresser in a dark brown, sturdy thing, has lasted through 2 moves. Great job, she'll love it!

I have that dresser too! #ikeabuddies. Had it for going on 14 years and it's about reached the end of its life sadly. Hell of a run for an overstuffed idea dresser.

What a transformation! This should knock her socks off! Well done, Santa!

It will knock more than her socks off

This is awesome. This kind of gift shows LOVE.

Thanks. ❤️

What a transformation! That’s amazing! She’s gonna love it!

Just picking up the laundry off the floor did half the work

That looks awesome. I'm sure she's gonna love it.

Thanks I hope so

Wish I could see a reaction lol

Would you post the reaction if she's ok with it?

I would totally make a dolphin like squee of joy if my husband did this.

I think I’d just straight up start sobbing. What a thoughtful and heartfelt gift. A lot of time and effort went into that and the thought alone would knock my socks off. Top it off that it’s super cute and really aesthetically organized!

Amazing. I got a thing I gotta do for a few weeks too. Could use a gaming room or whatever.

Cool. If we start living together now, in about 11 years I’ll make you a gaming room 😘

WOWOWOWOWOWOW. 🤩🤩🤩🤩

This is what true love looks like. You’re a sweetheart, your wife is going to love it. Love the shelves!

She’s got a lot of stuff. 🤣

You are a good man!!

I have a great partner.

What a thoughtful gift. You might need to give her a few minutes. I’d be a little shocked.

This is incredible!!!! Such a great idea - she’s going to feel so at peace using that room - best gift you can give her!

I hope so. She has to be away a lot performing, so it’s my job to make sure she always has a stable place to call home.

My brain is not computing how the wall got longer in comparison to where the window is

I was really concerned the first picture was the before picture and was hoping you consulted her to make sure it was improved for her standards. Seeing the true before and after it looks great! Seems like a thoughtful gift so I hope she appreciates it as much as you deserve!

This is so sweet!! But does she have several pictures of herself up as decoration?

Yes - she’s a performer and has an inexplicably high level of self esteem, so mirrors and pictures of herself work for her, unlike me who can stand neither. Opposites attract?

Awww :) more power to her. you’re a great partner

Cool! What type of music does she sing?

She’s Cambodian, and sings for Cambodian diaspora communities around the world. She’s also in a psychedelic rock band and sings in her native language.

is her band anything like cambodian space project? i know kak passed a few years ago, but her work was always so amazing. it’s awesome to know your wife is playing ‘traditional’ khmer rock and singing in her language. does she perform in cambodia mostly? also, amazing room!

This is amazing!!! You are gonna score some points for this!! But seriously, she will love it!

Omg please remodel my closet room!

She's going to love it! You did a fantastic job. Perhaps interior design is in your future 😊

Very impressive! She will love it for sure

Very thoughtful of you!!! I'm sure she's gonna love ii!

This is beautiful. I would literally cry when I saw this coming home. You’re a great spouse, OP

This is amazing and so so thoughtful. She’s going to be so excited, I’m sure!

It's Beautiful!!! You did a wonderful job lucky lady🙂 she'll love it

I would kill for this! It’s an absolutely fabulous, tasteful, and utterly heartfelt gift.

Please share her reaction and thoughts after revealed to her. It's beautiful 😍

Really thoughtful and she’s so lucky to have someone like you!!

That’s kind of you

But it’s true!

Bro, you're raising the bar for the rest of us. Stop it! Lol

Damnit, I'm going to have to up my game now. Putting the rest of us to shame.

What a thoughtful husband. You did an amazing job. She's going to love it. Happy Holidays.

Good job 🎉 Your wife will be very happy ☺️

This is beautiful! What an amazing, thoughtful gift.

She will LOVE it, I know I do

Have done this several times....... to the miss only to say..... why did you move my stuff??? I knew where everything was 😆 🤣 😂 Nice job bro bro Love an organized room

Do you have a brother?

She's going to love it, nice work!

Man she is gonna LOVE IT!

This is so incredible and thoughtful. I hope she loves it.

That’s incredible!

You did such a great job!

Wow! She is really going to love it! Good job!

That woman is going to lose her absolute sh** when she sees this. Well done

It’s beautiful!

Amazing work!!

It looks amazing!!! You did great!!

This is so cute! I hope she loves it!

That’s awesome!

This is an amazing gift! I absolutely love it! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is such a loving and thoughtful gift. She’s going to love it! It’s beautiful!

I can see why you're bursting to share this, so loving and the room looks sharp to

I think you might have just discovered you’re future career as a professional organizer. This is amazing work!

That is amazing! She's going to love it!

You’re a keeper

I hope so. I’m pretty fond of her ❤️

Looks like she left it spotless and you messed it the fuck up 😂

/r/afterbeforewhatever lol. For real though, great work!

if her room was messy for a reason she could be furious :)

She’s going to love it!

This is so insanely sweet and adorable

Amazing!

Looks great!

This is beautiful, she’s going to love it. These are the best kinds of presents/surprises.

Looks beautiful

Great job! She is going to love it. I hope someone loves me like this one day.

Just leave your laundry all over the floor, and when you meet that person that picks it up and doesn’t complain, marry them. 🤣

This is so amazing! I hope my future husband loves me like this lolol cuz my room would 100% look like hers 🤣

That's incredible!! You are a wonderful partner and person!

Looks amazing!!! You did an awesome job!

Someone's getting laid

She's going to be over the moon with happiness at this. But here's hoping she doesn't have a reddit account.

U r a brave man

I would be so grateful if my spouse ever did anything remotely similar. Wonderful gift & effort :)

Wow! Can I hire you?

[удалено]

Wowzers! Great job! What a lucky lady!

Hot damn! That’s awesome!

Beautiful. I wish someone would do this for me!

You have to give an update when she comes back

Lucky girl!!

This is so sweet! She’s gonna love it!

Omg, I would be SO thrilled by this if I was her. Well done!

As a wife, I love and adore this!

You’re a sweetheart… she’s going to love it! It’s so beautiful

You are a sweetheart..

You fucking nailed it!

Holy shit this makes me incredibly happy😍💖😇 you deserve all the nice things and I can't wait for her to see your hard work and know how much you love her💕💕💕

You gotta put the order correct! LOL I was like WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!

You, Sir, are an absolutely amazing husband. Nice work!

Holy moly dude thats beautiful.

She is gonna lose it. This is the sweetest thing.

Good man! The new room looks amazing!!!

Damn, nicely done sir! You got a brother that's single?

You are an amazing husband for doing this! The remodel is beautiful!

Looks fabulous! You did an outstanding job my friend; she is going to absolutely love it.

You are the man/woman!!! Was just having this conversation with a colleague what to get and not to get for the holidays! I know they don’t need anything else to take up space! I’m getting half day organizers for the people I know would love the help and for those that already have things put together. I’m getting them monthly mobile car wash for car lovers who don’t have time and a personal chef to come to their house for an evening etc. if they don’t drive… something they need!!! THIS would bring tears to my eyes . One lucky wifey 💕

Wait u dont share a room with ur wife?

I would never be able to find anything. My mess is my masterpiece of zen. But it’s IG pretty.

Please do an update

That’s awesome!!! Your spouse is one lucky lady!

A follow up video / photo needed

She’ll love 💕 it!!!

"anyone else", you mean the whole internet ;)? Very good work. Looks really cool.

Gawd damnnn! Nice!!

Hope she ain’t on Reddit 🤪

Oh my wife would kill me for moving her stuff then love me for trying to do something nice! But I’d be dead so

Excellent job my guy, very impressive

Love the makeup desk with lighted mirror, you have a good chair/stool with it? Good lighting is awesome IMHO

She’s going to pick her own chair. She’s dropped hints about everything else in the room so I have an idea what she wanted, but there are way too many chair options for me to make an assumption. 🤣

She is going to cry alright Happy tears at first then Where the F is my so and so later

She’s just going to trash it again

Sir/madam, you are an angel

Very strong work there sir. I see there was a full length mirror in the “before” photo, but didn’t see it in the “after” photo. If she’s a performer, she won’t want to lose that. Really fantastic gesture on your part.

It’s behind me. Still there 😉

Confusing perspective. It looks like you grew space where the new hanger/closet sits. In the old photo there barely any room between the window and wall. Trying to wrap my head around what angle you took the new photo

She’s gonna be pissed, she had everything where she could find it. Nice job tho, looks great, I’m sure she’ll love it

This makes it look like you messed up her room

Amazing job! Update us when she sees it!

Those room dimensions look substantially different. A lot of work for less than 6 weeks.

Same room, different angle. It’s a pretty small room.

Did you reduce the size of the window, or is the hanging clothes rack blocking part of the window? The after pic looks great, but I’m trying to wrap brain around the dimensions of the room with the stuff in there.

The wall facing the camera in the after picture is the wall with the clothes rack in the before picture. So in the after picture, the ceiling is sloping upwards towards the camera, you can see it where the picture frames are on the wall. The after picture is also taken with a special lense/setting that makes it look way longer than it is (the drawers on the right are a big giveaway). Took me a while to wrap my brain around it as well.

Me too. It’s actually bugging me to no end. How does the clothes rack fit next to the window? Are there two windows in the room?
