Kitchen Before The original 1960s kitchen had been slightly modified in the late 90s but the cabinetry, flooring, lighting and counter tops were in dire need of updating Kitchen After With the addition of ceramic tile flooring, recessed lighting overhead as well as pendant lighting over the bar and undercabinet lighting beneath the upper cabinets, ceiling fan in the dining area, new paint, new window treatments and upgraded support columns for the bar, this property began to take on the look and feel of a home with a much higher asking price. Living Room A smallish living room was also the entry for the home. In placing the sofa in a position which faced the rear wall of the living room, it created a separate entry area for the home. With the addition of recessed lighting which could be switched separately for the entry and the living area, the illusion of an entry way was complete. By using a limited number of pieces of furniture the size of the room itself seemed to expand. Bathrooms The home had three bathrooms. The central bathroom had been updated but the master bath retained its pink tile and fixtures from the 60s. The third bathroom had been added in the late 90s and was not in need of updating. The master bath was updated through the removal of the old tile and fixtures and the addition of upgraded, high end fixtures, neutral colored ceramic floor tile, nickel three light fixture and a neutral wall color. A chocolate vanity housed the European sink and nickel faucet and with the addition of a simple window treatment the bathroom was brought into the 21st century. Coordinating the remaining bathrooms through a simple palette, the house flowed easily from public to private spaces Central Bath Master Bath Guest Bath Through maintaining an open passageway from the living room into the hallway, the flow from the kitchen to the living room to the hall- way and into the private areas of the home created a flow and sense of spaciousness which caused the home to look and feel larger. The Master Bedroom The master bedroom already had hardwood flooring and a chair rail which offered a bit of architectural detail. The walls were painted a soft neutral sand, then accented with custom bedding and window treatments in red and sage. Wood accents in chocolate and warm teak rounded out the color palette. Full length curtains with a broad patterned header which coordinated with the pillow shams and accent pillows. A large featured art piece over the bed is augmented with natural art pieces and candles to present an environment which is welcoming to any buyer. A Classic Masculine Master Bedroom Large scale pieces and rich browns and blues define the color scheme of this master bedroom. Massive posts support a tall, broad upholstered headboard covered in a brown pinstripe. Rich velvets and houndstooth plaid provide a sumptuous contrast to the soft cool blue of the duvet. Illuminated capitals add balance and drama to the massive columns on each side of the bed. |
