before and after 4604 AMHERST road

BEFORE front exterior
This house needs some love! The siding was faded, the front awning was chipping away and the landscaping so desperately needed tending to...

AFTER front exterior
The siding, front door and awning have been painted in dark complimentary colors. The brick path was repaired and power washed, whilst the flower beds have been revived with fresh plantings.

BEFORE living room
Wonderful built-in shelving and fireplace, but the old carpeting distracts from these great features, and the overall room impression is plain and awkward.

AFTER living room
Refinishing the hardwood floors and painting the walls a warm color creates a visually larger space. Floating a sofa opens up a sitting area by the gorgeous bay window and showcase that fireplace.

BEFORE dining room
Once you look past the clutter that doesn't belong in a dining room, you are able to see two corner unit shelving units that disappear in the sea of off white on the walls. There is a huge misconception that homes going on the market should be painted whi

AFTER dining room
By painting a contrasting color on the walls {and it can be neutral like beige) it allows home buyers to see architectural highlights like these gorgeous corner units that would have otherwise been lost in the mix, as well as height in the ceiling.

BEFORE kitchen
The whole kitchen was pretty outdated but based on our priorities we decided to replace the counters, floor, appliances and paint. We chose to leave the cabinets as they were in really good shape and their replacement was a bit outside the budget...

AFTER kitchen
By bringing a rich accent color to the room, especially in the bulkhead above the cabinets, you bring a new life to the cabinetry. We chose beautiful granite with under mount sink and ceramic tile floor for contrast.

BEFORE master bedroom
The master bedroom had an interesting configuration - filled with nooks and crannies as well as a beautiful sun filled sitting room. The first thing to go was the old carpeting…

AFTER master bedroom
Gleaming hardwoods and color on the walls brings contrast to the wide baseboards and height to the ceilings. A bigger brighter room brings serenity to an otherwise lackluster space.

BEFORE master dressing room
The windows are situated awkwardly high and the room feels somewhat constricting…

AFTER master dressing room
By adding floor length sheers, the illusion of bigger windows is created. Painting the lower half of the walls in a darker accent brings height to the ceilings.

BEFORE bedroom 2
This bedroom, although on the smaller side, could serve as a functional room for people of all ages, with plenty of storage for accessories and books..

AFTER bedroom 2
A contemporary look is created with contrasting colors and striking accessories, yet the room retains its classic vibe and compliments the original architecture.

BEFORE bedroom 3
This room is an open palette, but without staging it is difficult for potential buyers to visualize the space as being a functional third bedroom.

AFTER bedroom 3
This bedroom is a perfect example that illustrates the importance of paint and home staging!

BEFORE bedroom 4/office
Located off the side of the dining room, this little room has a convenient full bath attached to it. It could serve as a guest bedroom or an office space, but you would never know that by looking at it in this state…

AFTER bedroom 4/office
A bit of cleanup, plush new carpet and a rich, warm paint color brings a breath of fresh air to an otherwise unused space. Brightly colored accessories complete the look.

BEFORE hall bath
The over-sized medicine cabinet takes up a lot of space and dominates the room. The tired floor needs some love and there is a general need for some decluttering...

AFTER hall bath
The new medicine cabinet, replaced sink faucet, towel bar, new floor and fresh designer paint are now features rather than an eyesores!
