| My design assistant is ready to show you the tour of the living room and dining room all done. When we say all done there is always room for decor updates and changes but for the most part it is finished. |
 |
| Condo before picture. Worn out carpet, dark burgundy walls, very heavy pattern wallpaper and dated drapes. |
 |
| New flooring, painted walls and shiplap to brighten up the dining room. New drapes DKNY sheers with button tops and bamboo cordless shades. |
 |
| The room has a much lighter feel. My pics never do these rooms justice but it has a very nice cottage farmhouse mix. |
 |
| Living room Before. Dark walls and continuation of the old carpet. Carpet was torn out for new wood laminate flooring and excellent Behr paint in Bit of Sugar color for all these walls. Believe it or not these walls covered with the white in two coats. This is why I love Behr paint. It has the primer in the paint and it covers so nice. |
 |
| Lighter floors installed along with the white sheer drapery and texture added with the bamboo cordless blinds. Terry's chair is leather and it balances out my fabric sectional. I love that I could use my great faux fireplace surround and mantel from the old house. It fits perfect on this wall between the dining room and family room. Sorry again about my pics. The glare washes out the pics but believe me this room is bright and glare free lol! |
 |
| My french window along with making a bench area out of the old gate and vintage piano bench gives more texture to my whites. |
 |
| My design assistant is worn out from the tour! He will need a nap. I am looking for natural wood end table to bring in more texture to my whites. The hunt is on! Have a great 4th of July. Hugs, Kris |

Ah...there's Kris and Terry's Home. I love that you have utilized the warm wood tones and leather to your whites scheme. Really lovely!!! Sandi
ReplyDeleteWho would ever believe it's the same place? I'm loving the farmhouse vibe. And so bright - love it! xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteGood morning dear friend! Your designing skills are powered by that determination to get ideas on paper DONE. You have such energy, vision and ability to pull everything together, no matter what the challenges. In past homes, you didn't let an intimate space stop you from making it into a more open feeling and dark paint? You are armed with Behr paint, which I too love! BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so beautiful Kris! What a change to the before photo. Enjoy!! xoxox
ReplyDeleteLove it! Can't even tell it's the same place from the before and after! Have a great holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteLooks so beautiful and love tge different textures. Your fireplace from the old cottage looks great too.
Buddy is always so cute.
Happy 4th
Cindy
It looks so lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust a huge WOW! The only thing I want to see is MORE - more photos of more angles of the room spaces. It really looks so great. Behr should sponsor you, Kris, and I'm serious. What an amazing testimony to the coverage of their brand.
ReplyDeleteAmazing transformation! Your design assistant can add another job well done to his resume. Lovely textures and layering...
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling much better! Enjoy your Fourth! We have gardening to do and some inconsiderate neighbors were still doing fireworks at 2:20 am., so a nap may be in order. xoxo
Fantastic. gorgeous, tasteful, beautiful, stunning - I absolutely love all of it Kris! Happy 4th July - hugs, Gilly
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your design assistant is perfect!
It looks great, Kris! A huge improvement over the old decor! Buddy is a sweet design assistant. The dining room wall is my favorite feature. Loads of inspiration as we finish up the storage closet area in our living room! Happy 4th of July to you. I hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cecilia
Kris, I couldn’t imagine how beautiful you made this place! You could sell it for twice the price, Amazing transformation. I love everything about it. You are lucky to have such a handy guy!! Hugs my friend
ReplyDeleteYour new home is absolutely beautiful! I'm glad you've been able to use some of your favorite pieces and have found new ones to add to the mix! Such an improvement! Great job! Have a happy 4th! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! I'll bet you are enjoying all the glorious space you have in your new home. I love the contrast of Terry's chair and the wood dresser - they look stunning and so cozy with the white. Happy 4th! Hope you are feeling better too. Jane
ReplyDeleteI see you found a light fixture for your dining room! I remember there wasn't an electrical socket in that space. Is the pretty light fixture battery powered? You two did such a great job transforming this space, it's beautiful! I love how your fireplace fits so perfectly between the two spaces. Wishing you both a Happy July 4th!
ReplyDeleteAmazing transformation. You and Terry are such a great team. you two should flip houses. I also want to see more. Buddy is a cutie. Thanks for showing your beautiful home Kris. Happy Independence Day. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Kris! And the bonus is that now you have room to have your family over for meals.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I just can't get over the transformation, Kris. It's so lovely light and bright! I know you must be loving it!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I just love the family photo wall. It is my favorite, I hope to copy it.
ReplyDeleteA pat to the assistant for showing us around.
Hope you are feeling well my friend.
Carla
What an amazing reveal! The before and after are so different: the before is dark and depressing, and the after is light, bright, and inviting! Your space is beautiful. I love all the details, too, like the branch lamp. Beautiful, Kris!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful cozy place you have created! Love it all.. love the wood tones, some light, some dark.. and the bamboo blinds are perfect. So glad you now have room for some family dinners.. and hubby still has his fave chair for relaxing (or does he ever relax???)..... I can't picture either of you sitting down to enjoy all of this for very long! I'm still just in awe that you've done so much in such a short amount of time. I hope you both can take time to sit and enjoy it and relax and just chill for awhile! xoxo Marilyn Happy 4th too!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love everything you and Terry have done Kris! What a transformation! Home Sweet Home says it perfectly. xxoo
ReplyDeleteKris, it is beautiful!! You and Terry did such a wonderful job with everything. I really love the fireplace mantel but it all is so lovely. I agree with Buddy. I can tell how much he loves it all..Hope you had a Happy 4th..xxoJudy

Stay safe, healthy and happy!!

What a stunning make-over Kris. You and Terry have completely transformed it into the perfect shabby farmhouse room and how fabulous to have a spot that is perfect for your beautiful fireplace. Well done to you both.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your room make-over at Create, Bake, Grow & Gather this week. I'm delighted to be featuring it at this week's party and pinning too.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
It looks amazing! I would never believe it was the same space unless you showed it. Great job and enjoy every corner of it. You styled it beautifully. XO- MaryJo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful makeovers! I love the light and airy look and all of your gorgeous treasures. Thanks for sharing at AAH, I will be featuring you at this week's party!
ReplyDeleteOh, NOW I see where the bench is! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, and what about the light fixture above the dining room table? What did you do with that?
DeleteI have been scrolling backwards to catch up.
ReplyDeleteI love the shadow boxes and I like the simplicity of just the heart.
The tiny houses are cool. I'm on another purge is our little cottage. A downside is lack of storage, but I'm looking at having less as the upside.
I love your new cottage and seeing your white to wood cabinet makeover made me cross painting my wooden cabinet off the list.
I hope all is well. I'm exhausted most days playing grandma out of town 2 days a week.
