I think it’s time for an awe-inspiring ‘before and after‘, don’t you? It’s the only way to truly understand what can be achieved with a little (OK a ton) of vision and hard graft! Even if your home is just the way you want it, an incredible reveal is a pure joy to ogle at. In the case of this beautiful house in Ottewell, Canada, it took the masterful eye of interior designer Kristina Lynne to transform an outdated, stuffy living space into a light and airy mid-century modern home. Let me talk you through it. I hope you feel as mesmerised by the transformation as I am!
Kitchen before
Sitting room before
If it weren’t for the wall-to-wall shag carpet (I mean, seriously, that had to go, right?!) the before is pretty cool in a whisky swigging, mad-men-esque kind of way. But wait until you see the ‘after’ and you’ll quickly decide, like I did that light and bright is the way to go!
Bedroom after
I am so glad that I was not the one to have to scrape all that stuff off the ceiling. I’ve done something similar in a previous flat and to say it was unpleasant job is an understatement! But whoever put the hard graft in to even out the walls and white wash them has done a sterling job!
Bathroom before
Bathroom after
Moving the loo to the side of the room to create room for a shower was key to the success of this space. It’s even making me wonder if we should do away with our bath upstairs and put in a lovely shower like this instead. I wonder if I’d miss the bath? Do you enjoy baths?
A huge amount of work also went into tiling the space, re-plumbing it, laying a new floor, as well as fitting a new bathroom cabinet.
