Design Re-mix on no Dime!

Ladies and gentlemen~ for me this is long anticipated. Posting these before and after pictures from my hard work over Labor Day weekend, means I've accomplished something. Yay! Now, although I have to give the disclaimer that the dramatic results are not as exciting in pictures, I do hope you can see that there were some productive changes made. So, here we go!

This will be the front living room...before, very casual and no color pallet. Now, a more formal area, with a retro color pallet and concept:

Just behind the "formal" living area is the dinning room. It bears the smallest changes, though still evident. Before:

And after:

The tea cart used to hide in the back corner; now it is more showcased in its new place.

Just centering the hutch made it more of a focal point...and removing excess items makes the beautiful hand-made table show off much better!

We will skip the kitchen (because I said so, that's why! LOL)...and go to the "sitting room". Before, this was a mess of colors, styles, broken shelves, no real mantle...just a random shelf sitting on the wooden rods that stick out of the wall...kind of a mess:

Now, a cabin-like feel, to go with the HUGE fish hanging above the fire place...Jesse caught it! So I rolled with that theme...and tada!

So we go to the master bedroom, where NOTHING had been planned out, as you can see here:


I established a color pallet and went with it all the way:

Last but not least...the room people stay in if they are guests at the "Lambert Bed & Breakfast"...sorry I don't have before pics, but here it is, ready for the next folks who come our way!

So, there you have it! The rooms you have not visited: the guest bath and 1/2 bath...nothing exciting; the study...not finished~was used as a 'holding room' for all the stuff while I worked; the media room & crafting corner (basement)...not finished yet.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed your little tour. :)
