These pictures prove that "less is more"  By making subtle color changes and slight alterations to the facade, a stronger street presence is realized. 

This classic fan/townhouse kitchen required a lot of design planning ot maximize the small space,accommodate appliances and provide enough storage for modern day needs.  A large pantry was also renovated beyond the archway.  Plenty of storage and a great kitchen!

While we miss the Pizza Hut arch and the vinyl floor.....not to mention the lovely light fixture, we are sure you will agree that the after photos show how small changes make a huge difference!

These pictures show how the right design choices can change a room.  From the color which brought out the coved celings to keeping the sconces and finding new appropriate shades, to removing bad "enhancements" made over the years i.e. the fireplace screen, colonial mantel, wicker-look ceiling fan.

This picture again illustrates the power of the right color choices to best showcase a home's true personality.

This dining room has now been bought back to it's rightful place as the largest room in the house.  The new ceiling fan, sconces, paint and sunroom accent color change the feel dramatically.

The front guest suite commands the northwest corner of the house.  This room was transformed from uninspiring to a cozy guest retreat.  This bedroom also has an en suite bath, unusual for the period.

Good paint costs about $25.00 a gallon.  It is the most cost effective way to create the biggest change and impact.

Another view of master bedroom showing the master bathroom through the door which was also updated.

Like the rest of the house, the rear yard suffered from being neglected. The awning was tired and was removed to allow more sun into the kitchen.  A tree was removed, bushes pruned, and the "L" part of the deck was taken out to allow for the planting of a perennial garden.

This room has an Adirondack/Camp feel which is a LifeSTYLED favorite.  The room feels warm and cozy after being completely painted.  The large window and built in bench seat are more great arthitectural accents.

The opportunity with this renovation was to take a badly renovated walk out basement and cost effectively make a media room out of the main room, updating the 70s kitchen without replacing the appliances and updating the 3/4 bath.  New tile floors, beadboard ceiling, recessed lights, and warm colors round out this successful transformation.

The main opportunity in this project was making the bottom floor fully functional and inviting.  HVAC was added and the 1970s renovation was updated to make it more modern and inviting.  The budget was tight but we feel like we made a huge impact with some well chosen updates.
