This is the AFTER picture of a front sitting room that just got painted 2 weeks ago.

AFTER

The walls and behind the built in cabinet were painted "Chat-room" from Sherman Williams. The cabinets were painted "SW Kestral White" and we also took out the carpet and added dark-wood floors.

BEFORE

This pickled wood was looking shabby and dated and needed freshening up.

AFTER

(Flooring done by Nationwide Floors - Jeff Teller)

We are just in the beginning stages of this project. Painting and flooring was first. We still need the base trim touched up and this phase will be finished and ready for Phase II where all the finishing touches and the fun begins. Lighting, hardware, furnishings, draperies, rugs, and accessories!

AFTER

This wall color is so restful and my client absolutely loves it!

We will put all the shelves back but I probably won't use all of them. They need to be spaced out a little more so they don't look so busy and cluttered.

BEFORE

The previous flooring was 12X12 tile and didn't add any character to this home.

AFTER

We have character now! Main hallways, dining room and living room were painted "Toasted Pine Nut" from Sherman Williams. Doesn't the wood look gorgeous? Of course pictures never make it look JUST like it is in person but you get the idea!

You can see in the above picture how the two wall colors work together.

BEFORE

I encouraged the client to put wood floors throughout and it really has opened up the spaces. From the moment you walk in you see wood floors!

AFTER

She has a breathtaking view of the lake right outside those beautiful floor to ceiling windows. Now, after the painting has been done, the earth tones inside work with what is going on outside! Previously the walls looked pink...yikes.

DURING - what a mess!

I always to try to prepare my clients for this process but there is just no way to truly explain what goes on. All this tile had to be jack hammered up! I've got some clients that are having this done in their home next week and they are leaving town for the week so they don't have to deal with the mess and noise!

BEFORE

Built in cabinet in the dining room. The color wasn't going to work with my design plan!

DURING the spray painting process.

AFTER

We also glazed the columns to take away the pink tones that were there originally. We highlighted them so they now have a stronger presence in the room.
