Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiidays are my favorites at fleaChic! 

Why?  Because on Fridays we get to share

awesome Before and After projects.

What better place to start today's post than at the front door?

Look what a difference a little paint made in the entry:

The paneling and dark wood made this

tiny kitchen appear even smaller:

So much more inviting now.

 Smaller furniture gives balance to this room:

Believe it or not, the only thing the homeowners

changed was the ceiling light fixture:

State Design

The Wow Factor was achieved by opening up the doorway to
the kitchen and the paint accentuates the incredible molding.

The homeowners kept the dining room furniture

but updated with paint and fabrics:

I hope today's projects motivate you to tackle some projects you've been

putting off.  The hardest part of any job can be just getting started!

Have a great Weekend.
