Before & After

Exterior Before: Dingy siding and an enclosed porch left much to be desired.

Exterior After: New paint (Behr Pencil Point) and opening up the front porch made a huge improvement to the home’s curb appeal.

Porch Before: Pink walls and red carpet disguised hidden potential.

Porch After: Opening the porch along with some fresh paint and new furniture made a world of difference here.

Living Room Before: A room with good bones but not much else.

Living Room After: The original fireplace having been removed provided an opportunity for a carefully chosen reproduction. Suitcase side tables provide storage for DVDs and other AV equipment

Dining Room Before: Dingy white paint left much to be desired here.

Dining Room After: Adding wallpaper and a picture rail added interest and formality to this space.

Kitchen Before: A red linoleum counter-top, floral wallpaper and polyester draperies begged for a simple update.

Kitchen After: A new floor, counter-top paint and DIY roman shades helped bring the kitchen up-to-date while still honoring its roots.

Front Bedroom Before: Still more pink walls with unidentified stains and a bare bulb light fixture left this room nowhere to go but up.

Front Bedroom After: New paint (BM Weekend Getaway), a new bed and fresh linens made for an inexpensive improvement to this space.

Bathroom Before: Pink trim and walls detracted from the orginal features like the hex tile floor.

The addition of board and batten panels and a saturated blue (BM Blue Danube) added some snap to the bathroom.
