Before & After: A Dull, Drab Interior Is Made Bright & Beautiful By Carla Aston

July 16, 2014 in Design Tours, Designing

I have a new project reveal to share today.

It’s a beautiful dining room I created for a super nice client of mine. She was so very sweet and easy to work with.

We worked on this home in two phases. The first one was right before this young family moved in last year. Here's what we did then:

  • We re-did floors
  • Painted everything
  • Took down those dated wallpaper borders
  • Got rid of all the toasted tan color
  • Remodeled the fireplace
  • Paneled the front of the bar
  • Added a new backsplash
  • And, of course, put in some beautiful lighting.

...You know, just a few things. The envelope. :-)

I’m ever so happy she contacted us again this past spring to add some furnishings for the dining room and entry hall.

At that time, we had just painted the dining room a lovely Benjamin Moore Brewster Gray while waiting for a later time to bring in the furniture.

And now… It’s done! It’s complete with artwork, draperies, and a few other pretties! I'm showing off some of our previous work here as well.

SO BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL!
