before and after 9706 BRISTOL avenue

BEFORE front exterior
This charming cape gives a poor first impression hidden behind overgrown shrubs and unkempt flower beds…

AFTER front exterior
The now manicured lawns, shrubs and flower beds frame the front walk giving an inviting first impression. Planting flowers during Winter is not always an option due to the cooler temperatures, but adding ornamental rocks quickly adds interest to a garden.

BEFORE living room
We love yellow in living rooms, but this acidic shade of yellow doesn’t sit comfortably with the warm tones of the hardwood floors…

AFTER living room
The richer wall color gives off a softer vibe and compliments the gleaming wood floor. Rather than having just a couple of pieces of furniture as before, presenting a fully furnished room with coordinating accents unifies the space as a whole.

BEFORE dining room
The contrasted effect of the heavy red and yellow is unsettling and conceals the elegant built-in china. The window treatments and light fixture further outdate this dining room…

AFTER dining room
This is a favorite wall color of ours for dining rooms; when paired with white it provides a striking and harmonious contrast. The china cabinet now pops, darker drapes frame the windows and the red accents invigorate the space.

BEFORE kitchen
The dark forest green wall and floor close in the space visually and the motif on the backsplash dates this kitchen. Tip- when buying tile, choose carefully and ensure you are selecting a choice that won’t become unfashionable within a couple of years.

AFTER kitchen
The cabinets were in great condition so received an inexpensive revamp with new brushed nickel hardware. Installing granite counter tops and a ceramic wall and floor tile will increase desirability and monetary value to your kitchen.

BEFORE kitchen
The kitchen came with some space for a breakfast nook, but didn't leave much desire for orange juice and the morning paper...

AFTER kitchen
A clean, open and simple take on a breakfast nook is inviting and leaves possibilities for a home buyer.

BEFORE master bedroom
The strong red dominates and visually closes in this spacious bedroom. Tip- when painting rooms with lower ceilings and angular architecture opt for lighter colors to open up the space.

AFTER master bedroom
A soft grey wall color visually increases the room size. Incorporating bold color through accessories rather than paint enables them to be easily swapped out for an inexpensive fresh look when you feel like a change.

BEFORE bedroom 2
This acidic shade of green is a little jarring to walk into and does not convey a soothing bedroom atmosphere…

AFTER bedroom 2
A warm, neutral shade of taupe softens the space and compliments the gorgeous hardwood floors, making them shine. White floor length sheers add to the relaxing vibe.

BEFORE upstairs bath
The wall tile is in great shape but are being hindered more than helped by the acidic yellow wall color…

AFTER upstairs bath
An earthy tone of tan paint, new floor tile and crisp white accessories transform this bathroom into a modern, desirable space.

BEFORE bedroom 3
Purple is a color generally associated with relaxation and calm, but this dark shade is overbearing in a smaller bedroom with a low ceiling. The dark grey carpet makes the room appear smaller than it really is…

AFTER bedroom 3
Warm tones of neutral paint and plush new carpet give this room a breath of fresh air. Pops of color in the accents keep the space fun and inviting.

BEFORE family room
The soiled grey carpet and blue walls make this family room seem pretty drab, and the awkward placement of the power outlets is distracting…

AFTER family room
A gentle green on the walls makes the power outlets fade into the paint color. The choice of beige carpet warms up the space significantly, with darker furnishings bringing solidity to the room.

BEFORE office
How could anyone get any work done with this distracting wall color shouting at you…

AFTER office
Neutral doesn’t have to be boring; teamed with bright and bold accessories we have created a fun office space to get in inspired in!

BEFORE garage
Garages are areas that often get neglected, but it is just as important to present them to the best of their potential as you would with a home interior…

AFTER garage
Declutter! Put unused items into storage whilst your home is on the market. A clean garage allows perspective buyers to visualize how the space could be used- as a workshop, a studio, storage, etc. A fresh coat of paint goes a long way!

BEFORE deck
This covered in deck complete with light fixture and ceiling fan could be a great outdoor barbeque and entertaining space, but buyers will have a hard time visualizing this though the clutter and unkempt gardens…

AFTER deck
The newly manicured lawns, weeded garden, fresh mulch and clear deck present an enticing entertaining space for the Summer months.

BEFORE backyard
The fully fenced yard is a great space for kids and pets to play, but the visual appeal is somewhat lacking…

AFTER backyard
During the Winter months when it is harder to maintain colorful plantings, your flower beds can be invigorated with fresh mulch which will highlight the greenery. Trimming and edging the lawns is essential for presenting a tidy look all year round.
