The empty living room now had a white carpet, the simple lightbulb replaced by a delicate chandelier resembling a rose, and the sofa was covered with a plush khaki slipcover.

The books on the shelf had been reorganized, and the figurines neatly displayed.
The kitchen and bathroom had been thoroughly cleaned and tidied.
While this didn't count as a full renovation, those touches gave the place a warm and cozy feeling.
