Before : This bathroom was dated, as you can see, but also had a dropped ceiling and some wasted space with a build-out "box" at the end of the tub.
After : Here is the new look, with a raised ceiling and new lighting. The tile seat at the end of the tub is a better use of the formerly wasted space, and gives a larger feeling to the whole room, as well. This homeowner liked the idea of a pedestal sink, and since we were able to incorporate space from a dated hallway cabinet into the bathroom, there is now enough storage without the old vanity. Do you like the new subway tile, with a crown molding shape for the top detail? 
Before: We have all seen these gloomy closets wrapping a vanity area. For this makeover, the closet was changed to a walk-in on the left. This gave slightly more storage than before, especially with good closet components, and gave a much longer "line-of-sight" at the entrance to the bathroom area, (rather than a "hallway" feeling. Since the previous closets had been on exterior walls, it was also possible to add a window, and a floating vanity with marble top.
After : The window looks out on the side yard, with lots of greenery and natural light, as well as the light from the new wall fixtures. This vanity is for display space, with a laundry bin below, and is also a good height for a grooming station, if needed. The white beadboard and sage wall color contribute to the cottage look desired by the homeowner.
Before : This bedroom is part of the same master suite. The homeowner was ready for a change here, as well. 
After : We selected custom bedding and pillows, and updated the wall color. The next step was custom built-in cabinetry for the other end of the room--to give space for media, more clothing storage, and--by eliminating other furniture, a serene, refined feel for the whole room. The simple curtain over the bed gives some low-key drama and romance.
Before : Living Room for the same client.
After : With new moldings and a warm tan wall color, the room needed to cross-pollinate the sage in the adjoining spaces--so the furniture has some tans and some sage. For a touch of sophistication and a nod to the clients' contemporary preferences, we used satin black accents and tables. We had the harlequin-design pillows custom-made for an understated, unifying element.
Before : This photo is a bit unfair, because the previous owner was in the process of moving, but the pink walls, dried flowers and splotchy brick were about to go back to the decade from whence they came!
After : This photo is also a bit unfair, because the client has great taste, and a flair for accessories--she is responsible for all of them in the photo! This room has new floors and moldings, sage green walls and wide-louver shutters. Before tearing out the fireplace, we tried a soft topcoat of a similar, but lighter, brick color. It was applied by hand as a ragged wash, only on the surface of the brick--not on the grout. As you can see, it took only a simple mantel to finish the look--a lot less expensively than an entirely new fireplace.
