Welcome to another Before & After Friday.  It's so

much fun to view the results of others' hard work.

Let's start with one of the hardest working rooms in the house:

The new sea blue wall paint is so cheerful.

Just wallpapering the wall behind the washer and dryer
made such a difference in this laundry room:

Yikes.  This home office was a chaotic mess:

Now they can get some work done.

In its before condition I can't even tell what

room of the house this is:

Oh, it's the dining room.  Nice.

This bathroom's before condition wasn't bad

at all but the after really is nicer:

Rotating the dining room table accented the length of the room.

A room always looks better when you let in the light:

I don't know if I'm on board with the dramatic two-tone

wall, right, but I definitely like the wainscoting:

Painting the cabinets and framing the mirror
were a quick fix for this bathroom:

A little bedroom that was tucked under the eaves: 

. . . . was turned into a darling retreat:

Painting the walls a cheerful yellow makes the molding pop:

This bedroom was painfully bare:

The results of the makeover were enchanting

I'm going to close today's post with a truly amazing renovation project.
A couple in Atlanta took on a 100+ year old former trolley depot and
turned it into a unique, contemporary home:

I hope that the young couple who transformed this historic
building won an award for their dedication and hard work.

Have a fun Fall weekend, friends.
