Great job! I agree with Miamichick and would take this just one step further, painting the door panels or using the same interior fabric on the door panels...or just take the doors off and have all that great color exposed! Nice job. :-) Before & After: Knitting Stash Cupboard |

Great use of recycling a perfectly good piece of furniture! As for the height of the tv... what about all the tv's you see mounted over fireplaces? That location is much higher than this solution. I love the mix of old and new. Before & After: Dilapidated Dresser Gets New Lease on Life Life in the Fun Lane |

Great job on both of these makeovers. I just want to get my 2 cents in here about the painted outlet/switchplate covers. As a professional decorative painter, I always paint these because if you don't, your eye immediately goes to them, as they are too great of a contrast against most painted walls. The key is to remove them from the wall before painting, be sure to prime before painting and once dry, seal with a clear waterbased sealer. I usually spray on the sealer, a few thin coats, drying between coats. Now they are easy to clean and remove if needed.

This damask design is very common and most of the major stencil companies sell stencils that are a close match if you do not want to make your own. If you do want to make your own stencil, it is easy enough to just lie a sheet of mylar over the wall paper and trace this design. Stencil with fabric paints and perhaps embellish with some crystals!

Love the details in this home and the natural wood. My eye is drawn to the fabulous bench in the foyer and the great fabric on the banquet. This home does not seem quite finished to me though. There seems to be a serious lack of art work on the walls in most rooms and the only walls that show any personality are in the dining room, with that great pattern. I think some historic colors on the walls would warm things up, and I'm not thinking anything in the white family! Window treatments with some texture and/or pattern would give these rooms more personality. It does say above "much more remains to be done", so maybe this home can be revisited at a later date?

Great so far! Your family must have a lot of patience and understanding to be living through this major renovation! I look forward to seeing the finished place, as I'm sure you do too! Katherine's Meticulous Work in Progress House Tour |

I am only seeing one accent wall painted orange. Every other wall and the ceilings all are white, which is giving this lovely condo a very cold and uninteresting feel. I love the way Nancy and Bill have stepped out of the box with their colorful, fun furnishings, and even though they may not be your particular taste, they do show this couple's personality. I'd suggest bringing some more color onto the walls and ceilings to make the artwork pop and warm up the space. Thanks for sharing your home with us Bill & Nancy. Nancy & Bill's Pop Loft House Call |
