Oh, my gosh - I have some great Before & After projects to

share with you today.  It's a fun way to end the week, isn't it?

 

Can you count the many changes in this

amazing media room transformation?

Before

After

It's stunning, isn't it?  A sense of balance was created

by changing the dated slant roof to a curved ceiling and

placing a fireplace in the middle of beautiful new cabinets.

 

This distressed fireplace was also given a chic makeover.

After:

Better Homes and Gardens

So sophisticated now.

 

Spectacular results can be achieved with simple projects, too.

The 3 drawer side chest, below, was actually advertised as

free on Craigslist.

Better After

Crazy great idea, right?!

 

 

 

We might walk past this dresser and think, "Unsalvageable!"

Design Sponge

What a beautiful rescue.

 

 

New upholstery makes a 60 year old Mid-Century Modern

padded chair look completely at home in it's new décor.

This modern day reproduction of an earlier

chair was in sore need of new upholstery.

Tutus & Chaos

Classic.

 

 

One word: Paint.

Two words:  Ah mazing!!!

 

 

Believe it or not, $13 worth of paint transformed

this bland space into a striking work of art:

The Projectory

Love the updated little lamp, too.

 

 

Remember last Friday when I featured Before & After closet projects?

Well, I forgot to include this one:

Woven Home

 

  

Instead of using 2 more chairs with the kitchen table,

the owners decided to install a bench in the nook:

Paint It Yellow

 

 

 

When a couple had new windows installed in their home

they realized that the old windows had potential.

 

 

 Design Sponge

They used the old windows to build a glass Summer room.
Very cool repurposing, guys.

 

 

 

Bumble Bee Linens

$5 worth of fabric not only hides the potty

chair but adds a soft touch to a small bath.

 

 

Not only were these kitchen cabinets stripped and re-stained, another

small storage cabinet was added along with new counter tops:

 

 

 

Okay, you know I like to end a Before &After Friday post

with an awe-inspiring restoration.  Be prepared to be awed.

After

This Old House

The owners purchased this fire-damaged historic

house and restored it to its former glory.  Great job.

 

 

Did you enjoy today's project photos?  They're all quite inspiring

and motivating.  It's a long Memorial Day weekend so maybe

you'll have time to start a project of your own.  See you Monday!
