I have actually had a few people ask for more before and after pictures, so I have endeavored to take pictures from the same angles as the originals. Now, all my furniture and stuff is in the after pictures, but I think you can see the difference the paint and new flooring makes.
The front entryway, on the left, before, on the right, after. Who would cover that gorgeous glass? Someone who didn't like the bb holes. We will replace it soon, but I need to save my pennies.
The view across the sunken living room toward the dining room--which is a window surrounded bump out that was added on about 15 years after the house was built.
The dining room as it stands now. I have some white curtains to hang so we can block a little of the sun but let the light come in.
The built in buffet from the dining room. Nothing about that changed. I like it in its 1959 glory.
The view of the kitchen from the dining room. We took down the door that separated the two rooms and completely redid the kitchen.
The view from the great room through to the kitchen.
The eat-in kitchen area. All we really did there was the light fixture, paint and floors.
The glass shelves of the built in dining room buffet from the great room. Cleaned up a little and put some pretties out to show.
The great room on the left shows the original walls and the carpeted floor. We textured, painted and put down travertine floors.
The bar was painted, given a new top and hardware. I replaced the light fixture with a pendant.
I took out the sliding doors and repurposed them in the laundry room. We took out most of that wall and added the room to the kitchen.
The kitchen got a total facelift. Complete gut and reconfigure. I like it a lot.
We are pretty happy with the transformation. We will be saving up our money for the next phase of the remodeling. We have to enclose the carport and then redo the two bathrooms.
