Botox for the house...

not me...i'm not into that, but i do like my hair straight. anyhow, here are some before and after shots of the latest "home facelift job"...
hallway beforehallway after - so i don't like the shade of grey i chose but i'll paint it over next week.
hallway #2 before
hallway #2 after
master shot of where the slider door was before and "pre" crown moldingshot of the new french doors
before the ugly long window was taken outafter the new smaller window was put in - which was supposed to be a bigger window but i measured it wrong...oops
before the...well, new chiffonier
and after
this is my favorite, a dutch door that can swing open and the dog will stay in!
the porch - i had an electrician come and move the light from where the fountain was to 2 new little lights that are now on either side of the windows - it's about balance for me
no light, but a sweet wall "angel" fountain, cause i love angels
also had him put 2 lights on either side of the french doors - for character sake!

the end. well, not really. now i've gotta weasle my way into ian's head to remodel the kitchen and bath's. i have a feeling that will not go over well.

Looks fabulous Suzy! I love the clean simplicity of it all. Can't wait to see the kitchen once you convince Ian.

Suz-

Wow, looks FANTASTIC. I am sortof glad that the window in the bedroom turned out smaller because it looks so balanced with the furniture pieces you chose. Amazing taste. I need to come see it in person.

Love

Sachia
