I just finished a great project. A young (to me) couple with children had been in their house for around twenty years. The lady of the house engaged my services. She is an artist, a blog reader, and she has style. She and her husband had already done a fabulous kitchen renovation a couple of years ago, and now they were ready to update the rest of the rooms.

Budget was a concern, so I started by talking about what we could re-purpose and keep. All the major pieces of furniture had good bones, and the homeowners still liked them. So remodeling, re-upholstery, and some paint were the order of the day. The furniture layout was fine, with just some minor tweaking needed.

The dining room – The furniture had to remain. We just added new off-the-rack curtains and rods – The room was repainted and we chose to do the false ceiling with cove lighting. I installed a crockery unit (for dining area) cum show case for living area to an opposite wall and I also upholstered the existing dining chairs with flowery printed fabric. It added an extra element in the design.
