We used a lot of my client’s existing furniture to stage one of the upstairs bedrooms, and I tapped her sewing skills to create striped cafe curtains out of inexpensive Ikea fabric. This is the room we did the string art in, on the unseen wall to the left. My client created the headboard out of leftover flooring material and did the decorative painting herself. This guest bedroom came together in such a great way. We picked out white subway tiles and added a stripe of gray penny tiles for a timeless and modern decorative detail. Now it’s bright, light, fresh and cleeeeeean. The hall bathroom had its own recent makeover (wish I’d taken before pics!). My client upholstered her boxspring thanks to a how-to found on Pinterest, and installed new wood flooring throughout all of the bedrooms upstairs.

GORGEOUS.Ĭute mudroom between the garage and the kitchen.Īhhh, a restful, yet colorful master bedroom. She installed this awesome, minimal, white backsplash herself. OMG, this kitchen is night and day, compared to its original state! Sleek, custom cabinetry in a gray color–doesn’t it look soothing?Ĭan you believe my client already had the supercool purple Kitchen Aid mixer? We needed a large piece of art for the dining room that was super budget-friendly, so I recommended a cute mid-century-inspired tablecloth that my client could stretch onto a canvas. She even made that cute little side table in there, out of a Target tray and spindles from her daughter’s former crib. The little hidey-hole for the kiddo under the stairs? That was my client’s creation. with how it turned out, and the striped FLOR tiles couldn’t be happier. So she took a chance at my suggestion and painted the top a hot goldenrod color. My client picked up this mid-century dining table but the top had seen better days. The newly remodeled kitchen and dining room is a whole new world. Beyond the living room is the new home office/study.ĭon’t you love that pop of citron in the computer cabinet? So fun with the peacock blue walls and the purple FLOR button rugs! Mid-century style in the new living room, with a pop of hot pink FLOR tiles on the floor. ( Note the painting of the Mueller air traffic control tower by local artist Patricia Chapa leading your eye up the stairs!) New staircase layout and design, more open layout. I helped her select new paint colors for a fresh look. My client replaced the original shutters with more modern versions that she made herself. If you feel that way after you view the following pictures, you’re in luck–it’s going on the market today! Although this has been a labor of love for my client (she did a lot of work herself on the house), she has gotten the remodeling bug and is looking for another fixer-upper. In fact, I very much want to live there myself. I helped this homeowner select all of the furnishings and finishes for her remodeled home and am ecstatic at the outcome. The house was dark, the kitchen and stairwell felt completely closed off, and none of the downstairs had anything close to the feeling of “light and airy” going on. Wow, even I’ve had a complete makeover since then… That little drive-thru window? A tiny, outdated kitchen lived beyond this literal hole in the wall: Painted paneling in the living room, dated stair railing, enclosed staircase:

When I first met with this client, her first floor was a little sad… This is a project that is near and dear to me.
