Written by: Lindsay Webster 

There's something so wonderfully satisfying about a drastic transformation.

Using our creativity and skills to help our clients with design challenges, seriously makes us so happy!  And we love sharing good before and after photos.  They are the perfect way to showcase how small and big design elements can make a huge difference.  This older home received three bathroom remodels, along with new paint, flooring, and a few other great design elements.  We don't want to  spoil it for you though, so keep reading to see all the great changes for yourself.

Tranquil, cozy, elegant, inviting and warm are just some of the words our client used when describing how she wanted to feel when walking into her updated home—so that's exactly what we gave her.  This entry (above) had all the right features and all the wrong colors.  We simply lightened everything with new stain, paint and a beautiful light fixture—and voila—she's better than new!  This stubborn old banister did not want to strip its darker stain, but we were able to do a faux finish with new spindles, giving it a fresh new look.  What once was a dark and unwelcoming entry is now inviting, light and airy.

Next, we head into the dining room.  Not a ton of work was needed here, but isn’t it amazing to see how new flooring, paint, an updated light fixture and drapery created a charming new ambiance?  Window treatments can make your room feel more elegant and, in most cases, help elongate the walls by moving your eye upward.  This warm and cozy dining room is exactly what our client needed.  

This powder bathroom was not so elegant when we arrived on the scene, but by the end of it, we called it "The Little Jewel Box.”  We can't turn down a fun wallpaper, and while the plaid wasn't horrible, we had other plans. In addition to the floral wallpaper, we added beadboard wainscoting to give it a touch more character.  Speaking of character—check out the details of the vanity, countertop and lighting, as these are thoughtful design decisions that we care about at Sonia Barney Design.  

"The Little Jewel Box" wasn't the only bathroom to get a full-blown remodel.  Each one was able to get its own unique look, while keeping a cohesive look throughout.  

This final bathroom turned out as elegant as its counterparts!  The beautiful floor tile really elevates this bathroom and the one above.

See how we were able to make minimal but impactful changes throughout the rest of the home to give it the refresh it deserved (below).
