This is a true make-over where you salvage as much as you can instead of conveniently gutting everything.

The dining room is the prettiest room, I think, and it’s all because of the two complimentary paintings. I just love green and blue-such beautiful colors found in nature.

WOW! the difference achieved here with just the paint alone is amazing. this seriously looks like a whole different place!! its so bright, light and consistent now and honestly i didn't even notice the kitchen floor until she pointed it out. she did a great job of making it NOT stand out. she always does such a phenomenal job. :)

The speed of her speaking is incredible.... especially for me as a German...! - - - - - - - What I appreciate about the make-over of this flat is the fact that she didn't rip out the kitchen cabinets. And as one can see, the transformation is stunning all the same... Compliments to the sympathetic fast speaker... :--))

Don’t you love that? When folks say, ‘how can you paint over wood?’ Well, firstly, you live there so it’s your house and you can do what you want. And two, great that you are inheriting expensive quality custom millwork but if it’s ugly, it’s ugly. I love this designer. She’s got great taste and a sassy attitude!

That woodwork is from the 80s. It's really not very good. And yes, I complain when people paint over amazing craftsmanship. If you don't want feedback on your work then don't post your projects online with the comments enabled.

Great work. I would just hold off on painting such a stunning fireplace and working some of that orange tone in. It's too much in kitchen cabinets but a small section would be fine to leave. Designers need to know when to leave things alone. Also gives suggestions to low budget/ no reno decorating.

I wish they tackled some old homes with real design challenges. I bought a colonial and it's not that easy especially when you need to rearrange and configure a layout that's more practical while still stylish.

How is this any different than when there is a sink at an island and there's bar stool seating? I honestly don't think anyone's going to be using that sink when there's someone sitting in the breakfast nook. This seems to be more of a family space to sit and enjoy a meal or help with homework or make crafts together.

So many are talking about how these designs are starting to look the same. Agreed, but I think the reason why that is is be used it is an effective and timeless layout and design. Being experimental can be fun but the risks can sometimes set back functionality and the efficiency you have wth using a space. These colors and designs are foolproof and they work with what they have. And as long as the clients are happy, their jobs are fulfilled.
