Long ago I was employed as the Art Director for a realty company. Later, I was an assistant to the sales staff at a home builder, then I was in training to become their sales staff. After that, I became a Realtor. There's an appreciation for homes within that calls to me. Deciding on colors, decor, furniture, art, the whole look and feel of a room and how it blends into another room to create a cozy home...ahhh, yes...I do enjoy pondering these questions and answering them. Proof provided below...
BEFORE:
Ugly wallpaper.
Drab woodwork.
*pardon the tools*
AFTER #1:
Pale walls to match sink.
Refinished and antiqued the wood,
added new knobs and accents.
New mirror and switchplates to match.
And yes...I did make my own stencils so
I could do a raised stencil. Love the effect.
*have new oil rubbed bronze faucet
but that's on the honey-do list*
AFTER #2:
The closet door refinished and new knob and accents.
That fabric became the shower curtain for a pop of bold color.
