KITCHEN
Before: Dark & Dated
Old cabinetry and tile counters covered this kitchen before its renovation.
The cabinets and surfaces were swapped in favor of Ikea units painted Barely Beige by Benjamin Moore
and topped with zinc. Above, open shelving displays collectibles
alongside everyday dishware. The ceiling is painted Creamy White by Benjamin Moore.
This tract home's master bath looked the same as it did when it was built in 1998.
By
retaining the master bath's layout, the homeowner avoided the expense
of moving plumbing lines, relying instead on cosmetic updates. One
change: a single sink console, made possible by closing off a secondary
closet entrance. The exterior door opens straight onto the pasture.

A corner hearth originally occupied this den.
To
create symmetry, a contractor relocated the corner hearth with a new
one, centered on the wall opposite the open kitchen. Built-in cabinetry
on either side of the fireplace reinforces the sense of balance. The
homeowner traded her single living-room settee for two generous Ikea sofas and a Ralph Lauren
chair, all slipcovered for easy cleaning. The pine coffee table came
from a garage sale, and the metal "C" is from a local garden store.

This room allowed the homeowners to start from scratch.
Each
wallboard was removed and numbered, then put back in place after the
electrical updates. Scraping away decades of paint revealed original
artistic details, including marbleized baseboards and faux bird's-eye
maple panels, which a restoration painter was able to revive.
In the living room, Pottery Barn pillows adorn slipcovered armchairs by Lee Industries. The homeowner bought the set of framed prints at a flea market for only $94; she's collected the ironstone for years.
A garage used as a low-key hangout space.
Think outside the box. Rooms can have complete reincarnations, with surprising results.
The
former master bedroom became a stunning bath, with a glass shower
enclosure that maintains the room's expansive, wide-open feel. Limestone
tiles compose the shower's floor; subway tiles cover its walls.

Take
converting a garage a step further with sleeper sofas that allow the
room to double as guest quarters. The homeowner also installed beadboard
on the lower walls and painted the rafters white.
Among the room's wallet-friendly finds: a Crate & Barrel sofa, West Elm pouf, and yard-sale chair. The homeowner purchased the model boat at a local antiques store.
Bright idea!
Bring artwork onto an easel for an unexpected, eye-level display.
