[Click images to enlarge]Before: Pink Overload Added: 04/28/2010 This bachelor client approached me with a dilemna... he bought a house with a pink bathroom - HELP!  | After: Pink No More! Added: 04/28/2010 My response to the pink bathroom... gotta go! Let's make this a bathroom any man OR woman would love!  | Before: Pink Overload Added: 04/28/2010 The next problem: No light in the shower... it's too dark!  |
After: Pink No More! Added: 04/28/2010 My response: Let there be light!  | Before: Pink Overload Added: 04/28/2010 The tub deck was too large and the tub was pushed too far towards the center of the room  | After: Pink No More! Added: 04/28/2010 So we resized the tub deck, pushed the tub towards the outer wall, prewired the wall for a flat panel TV and added a storage area under the tub deck for the cable box!  |
Before: Pink Overload Added: 04/28/2010 Nothing exciting here... in fact, quite the opposite  | After: Pink No More! Added: 04/28/2010 We added visual texture with the interesting linear tile on the tub deck coupled with a field tile having various tone-on-tone hues and then capped off with gorgeous mosaics containing crushed glass...  | Before: Pink Overload Added: 04/28/2010 The oak and laminate vanity just had to go....  |
After: Pink No More! Added: 04/28/2010 The dark color provides a punch of drama in a room where neutrals are used... it's still a neutral, but it packs a whallop!  | Before: Pink Overload Added: 04/28/2010 Bye-Bye pink....  | After: Pink No More! Added: 04/28/2010 Hello Gorgeous!  |
After: Pink No More! Added: 04/28/2010 Moving the color and texture around... all while increasing functionality with the train rack, wall hooks and woven basket. Use these opportunities to move the color around!  | After: Pink No More! Added: 04/28/2010 I deliberately chose a smaller vanity so that it didn't go wall to wall - niches on each side are used for the scale and wastebasket. And one's first thought might be to use two smaller mirrors or a mirror just slightly smaller than the vanity... not me - go big or go home! This oversized croc-embossed mirror with nailhead trim spells drama!  | Before: Another pink bathroom? Added: 04/28/2010 Yup - another pink bathroom.. with floral wallpaper! This client liked what I did in his master bath so well he had me tackle this one for just a facelift  |
After: Floral wallpaper no more! Added: 04/28/2010 In order to save the budget we reused the existing vanity and merely painted it... the wallpaper was removed and now this bathroom is suitable for his young son!  | After: Floral wallpaper no more! Added: 04/28/2010 Another cost-saving measure - we found a slab granite remnant for a steal... and look at this granite - WOW! Because of the color play in the granite we simply kept the rest of room neutral! The granite is the superstar in this room!  | Before: I must be doing something right.... Added: 04/28/2010 The bathrooms were such a hit, the client had me do a quick update on his living room. The outdated brick fireplace, gold trim, heavy draperies and oak trim... let's make some changes here!  |
After: minor changes for major impact! Added: 04/28/2010 I did a whole house paint consult, painted out the oak trim to white - added white wooden blinds in lieu of heavy drapes, plastered concrete over the brick fireplace (no chiseling mess!) and topped with a glaze. The gold trim is painted over with special heat-resitant paint and the furniture got updated as well!  | Before: Let's update that Master bedroom Added: 04/28/2010 After the master bathroom was updated so nicely, this client really wanted some quick updates to bring his Master bedroom up to speed  | After: Fit for a King (or Queen!) Added: 04/28/2010 A tailored bed and nightstand made this bachelor happy... notice we pulled some persimmon/burnt orange from the bathroom into the bedroom for continuity!  |
Before: Paint does wonders Added: 04/28/2010 The oak bannisters definitely left this home feeling dated  | After: Paint really does wonders! Added: 04/28/2010 We painted the bannisters white along with the trim but we wanted more impact... this black does the trick! It makes the color scheme really pop!  | Before: Paint does wonders Added: 04/28/2010 This is what my client used to see when retiring to his master suite...  |
After: Paint really does wonders! Added: 04/28/2010 ...and this is what he sees now! Viola!  |
