You know what today is - Before & After Friday!!!
Oh, Craig's List, you have such great Befores!
You know I'm a nut for Mid-Century Modern and usually prefer
that each piece remain in it's original simply-stained state.
But these next two 'Afters' are kind of amazing, aren't they?

(The owner used the pages of city listings instead of the maps - very clever.)
Now, in closing, prepare to be amazed:
Before (2 views)
After (2 views)
The arched entry way at the stairs, a new door, the chair rail,
the stunning new floors - it's all completely wonderful.
Of the many incredible improvements to this kitchen,
the ceiling can get overlooked but it is one of the best:
Unbelievable, isn't it? LOVE the art hung in the kitchen.
Thanks to the marvels of modern technology today's post was sent to you from
the beautiful rolling plains of Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Have a great weekend!
