before and after 10704 HUNTERS CHASE lane

BEFORE front exterior
A general clean up, trimmed bushes and freshly mulched flower beds is all this landscape needs...

AFTER front exterior
Fresh landscaping and changing the front door and window trim color gives the house exterior a subtle facelift. Tip- be mindful of spending money on new plantings during Winter as many of them won’t survive.

BEFORE living room
Keep feature walls to a max of one per room and make sure you consider how the color you choose coordinates with adjacent rooms…

AFTER living room
To draw the eye through the living spaces, we have chosen a darker color for the back dining room wall, but kept the living room in the same tonal range, keeping the color palette united.

BEFORE living room
The feature wall closes in the space and serves no aesthetic benefit…

AFTER living room
In smaller spaces, avoid painting feature walls. They should always be used in a considered manner; for highlighting features such as fireplaces, or visually enhancing a wall in a large or unusual space.

BEFORE dining room
Everyone loves red but this shade as an allover wall color in a dining room overwhelms the space…

AFTER dining room
We chose warm earthy tones to coordinate with the new chandelier and create an elegant, inviting feel. White accents keep the look fresh.

AFTER kitchen
The ochre wall color breaks up the monotony of the counter, cabinet and wall color. Adding kitchen accessories and counter stools at the breakfast bar help potential buyers to visualize themselves using the space.

BEFORE kitchen
The kitchen is extremely spacious and functional but there was no aesthetic wow factor...

BEFORE family room
Open to the kitchen, this family room is an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining, but the boring color palette doesn’t invite guests in…

AFTER family room
This great space has been revived with a warm, inviting wall color that adds contrast to the white framework and fireplace. A circular mirror above the mantle breaks up the room’s square architecture and further highlights the room’s best feature.

BEFORE half bath
Even the smallest spaces should never be neglected! The heavy wall color, decorative frieze and linoleum flooring date this half bath…

AFTER half bath
We have kept it simple and modern with a fresh coat of paint, new ceramic tile flooring and black + white photography to complete the look.

BEFORE deck
This sprawling deck is uninviting, and without furniture, the focus is drawn to the weathered boards rather than seeing a large outdoor space for entertaining…

AFTER deck
A new coat of paint and patio furniture showcases this fabulous outdoor space as what it should be!

BEFORE master bedroom
What is it with colored ceilings?! I am always surprised by the number of them we stumble across…They visually close in spaces and make rooms appear darker than they really are.

AFTER master bedroom
Our advice is to keep ceilings clean and white. We love this wall color in master bedrooms; monochromatic bed linen and accessories keep the color unisex.

BEFORE master bath
The double vanity hardware and basins are a neutral enough style and color, but the vanity wood base, wallpaper and floor date the bathroom…

AFTER master bath
A coat of dark chocolate paint is a quick and cost effective update. A choice of neutral ceramic floor tile ensures that the look will not date quickly and upgrades the quality of the bathroom.

BEFORE bedroom 2
Green is one of our favorite staging colors to use, but ensure you select the right shade. Avoid using minty, very dark or acidic tones- they always result in a dated looking room...

AFTER bedroom 2
Choosing soft, earthier tones of green with blue or yellow bases provides more natural, tranquil shades of green that create a more relaxed environment (think calming theatre green rooms!).

BEFORE bedroom 3
This sun filled bedroom is a great size for any age group, but prospective buyers amy have difficulty seeing past the dominant children’s mural….

AFTER bedroom 3
Removing the wall paper mural and selecting a passive shade of green in conjunction with soft bed linens creates an inviting room for any age group.

BEFORE hall bath
The busy pattern on the wallpaper and floor compete and clash with each other. Tip- if you are choosing a floor tile with strong colors or a pattern, keep the wall color solid…

AFTER hall bath
A new ceramic tile floor adds aesthetic and monetary value to a bathroom. The vanity has received a facelift with a fresh splash of paint on the base- a cost effective way to update a bathroom if the basin and hardware are neutral styles and colors.

BEFORE basement
Long, bowling alley shaped basements such as this can be tricky; they need to be staged in a way that visually breaks up the narrow space…

AFTER basement
To break up the space, create a couple of seating areas and unite them by using the coordinating wall art, accessories, textiles, side tables, lamps etc. Area rugs will help define and pull spaces together.

BEFORE basement
Too many feature walls and a house will start looking like a Crayola box…

AFTER basement
Keep feature walls to a max of one per room and make sure you consider how the color you choose coordinates with adjacent rooms and walls. A softer, slate blue and taupe keep things neutral whilst creating a fun energy for a gaming/entertaining space.

Fresh paint on the walls and vanity transforms this once bland bathroom. The new ceramic tile floor adds an extra bit of luxury, whilst the solid black shower curtain contrasts with the white appliances making them gleam!
