Before. CLICK EACH PHOTO & HOVER OVER WITH MOUSE for more information.

After. Painted brick can be a game changer .. HOWEVER, please do not paint all brick!

She needed a haircut and highlights ...

Landscaping dramatically cutdown and made a comeback!

This home has amazing bones ... so solid & built to perfection 30years ago.

Paint BM Cloud White on trim and walls ... fresh and bright.

Dining Room ... used as a music / sitting room.

Aiden Gray lighting for the win in this music room.

Another lovely detail with the built-in display niche & shell above ... this level of craftsmanship is not often utilized in new construction. (Because it would blow the budget)

The refinished light & bright floors brought this home into 2020.

Office to the left of the foyer .. thankfully a cabinet maker was able to replicate the upper doors sans the arch details.

The pocket doors got a fresh coat of paint too ..

Office Before.

Office After.

Cabinets with mirrored doors always provided additional light and another texture .. inexpensive artwork brings in color without breaking the bank

The entrance of this home was dramatic .. It is always so pretty when you can see straight through the home out the windows.

Large "formal" living room straight ahead of foyer. CLICK & HOVER mouse over photo for more details.

Modified built-ins, paint, new light fixture and of course lighter floors is all this space needed.

Notice the fireplace and mantle. We had a new beefy surround and an “overmantle” built.

If possible, I always prefer the TV to one side. I am not a fan of it over the fireplace but often that is what makes the most sense.

Family room leads to the breakfast nook and kitchen. Notice the "peninsula" in kitchen.

How do you live? What suits your family best? Flipped the breakfast room to the back.

This sunroom became the dining area .. cozy enough for "breakfast" but pretty enough for fine dining.

The armillary sphere will go wherever we go. Notice the dark mullions give a nod to iron windows without the price-tag.

Before. Large kitchen with the den through the opening on the right.

After. The den was converted into another bedroom and full bath. (entry now off the back hall)

The peninsula with the glass cabinets ... on the wall to the right, the "office" work station ... so fancy back in the day with an intercom! LOL

Can we just pause for the hood? She remains the showstopper in this space.

Sink wall ... the removal of the visually heavy overhead light fixture and upper cabinets really allowed this space to breath.

Symmetry is ALWAYS pleasing to the eye. Built-in coffee maker to the left .. appliance garage to the right.

Before. The original view when entering from the garage. The overhead lighting was “tres chic” when originally built.

After. The island and pendants are pretty but the windows steal the show IMHO. So bright & beautiful.

Before Master Bedroom. The doors lead to HIS bathroom on the left and HER bathroom on the right.

Bed now is the gorgeous focal point where the 2 bath doors once lived.

Entry door into master on left ... the 2 doors into 2 baths closed up ... new entrance now on same wall as the main door .. to the far right.

This is the vestibule created that was once HIS closet off HIS bathroom.

HER bath before. The entrance was to the right of the tub. The door would swing open and hit the tub.

Tahhhh Dahhhhh! The new space and view as you enter from the vestibule.

HER bath as seen from the entry door. Out of sight to the left is HER closet. Potty just past the shower on the right.

Now the shower is updated, functional and equally as beautiful.

HIS & HER vanities now live on long wall that once had 2 doors into their separate baths.

Beautiful cabinets with a tower in-between the sinks ... this helps to prevent HER "product creep" into HIS space. LOL.

HIS bathroom & coset was converted into the vestibule and one large closet.

The window in the one large closet ... grandmother's chandelier dresses up the space :)

Basement Before. Drop ceiling & fluorescent lighting. BUH-BYE!

Ripped out the ceiling .. left the pipes and raw planks exposed but painted it all black.

Replaced the carpet with LVP. Easy Peasy transformation.

Notice the doors painted dark .. adds visual interest. Track lighting from big box store was easy on the budget.

Go Dawgs! Team spirit replaces the bookcases on this wall.
