Den before......
den after..........
Opps...it's sideways! I moved the wingback chairs from Living Room to den to create a reading area.
She had little art work to use....so I had to get creative. No personal pics allowed is the first rule. I used front covers of magazines and framed them in old frames.
The tv viewing area is across from the reading corner (used to have the desk). Looks a little busy but in person it is quite nice.
This is an akward area! We moved the piano to this wall to bring attention to the stone wall that houses the fireplace. Then the mirror on top of the dresser is placed on top of the piano. More framed pics from magazines, a tree limb from the yard and a spray painted lamp. The bench is from outside and is now an area to sit and take your shoes off.
More framed "art". Nature from outside framed and on the wall. CHEAP...FREE!
Living room before..........
Sorry it is so blurry!!!
Living room after......the new dining room!!!!!!We moved the hutch from the kitchen and used her love of birdhouses in this room.
The table with a plant and candles on mirrors. See the birdhouses in the plant?
Buffet table with a lamp and glass vases.
Bookcase revamped! White accessories on the top shelf, books and birdhouses on the other shelves. One chair fro reading. (Mom loves this area because she has her devotion and coffe every morning. She can also see deer and the trees from this amazing window.)
The fireplace. I added the old window as a focal point and heighth! Some greenery, wooden candles, old clock, and oil lamps.
Side view of fireplace.
Hallway before....Lots of family photos and nothing to grab you at the end of the hall.
Hallway after........
Now it grabs you! That is a pillowcase in the fram and some greenery on a table. My plan is to get big canvas and let each grandkid paint a self protrait to hang here.
Closeup of the pillowcase art.
Kitchen before......BUSY!! Moved the big table into the new dining room.
kitchen after........New round table from outside. Used a sheet as a tablecloth to cover the lovely legs...ha!
More magazine art work. It matches a painting on the other wall...mutted colors, old world feel.
Organized coffee area!
New tea nook.
Guest bedroom before.......
guest bedroom after.........This is the only room in the house with family pics! Had to give her some to look at!
guest room #2 before.........This is known as the dumping ground and playroom for the grandkids.
Blank wall that will house mom's desk.
guest room #2 after...now and office/guest room
Now it is more of an office. The bed is staged to look like a daybed or couch. Toys are in the closet and toy box.
Guest bathroom after...(didn't get a before shot)
Well....there you have it! I loved every minute of it!!!! I would quit my day job TOMORROW if I could make enough money doing this! I can dream....can't I????
The best part is...she spent $20 on a few accessories from flea markets. Not bad for a whole house stage!!!!!!
