Movie Theatre

In trying to get caught up with some blogging, I thought I would post some pics of the movie theatre we did in our house. The before pic is that of the people that lived here before we bought the home...They had it set up for the same purpose, but once you add paint, things can become quite different. Amazing what color can do to distinguish a room!

My First Seattle Redesign!

Well, it was time to pay my dues here in Seattle. What better place to start with than Steve's work? I have to do some pro bono stuff to get my name out there, plus this may be just a little self serving, since its Steves property...

So, I did a little shopping last week, and yesterday started at 9 am and wasn't done until around 10 at night, thats why its dark outside when the "after" pics were taken. I used the furniture from another model that wasn't being used, but I purchased all the accessories. We started out with the bare bones. Here's what we got...Budget $1600! How on earth do you buy all new lamps/bedding/artwork/paint for $1600? This is how...It can be done people! Painting is key, these rooms really came together when I added paint to the walls.

this is my favorite transformation. the wood on these dressers was so outdated, kind of a 2-toned oak. i used silver paint and fixed them right up!

not a lot you can do with an apartment bathroom, but a new color scheme helps...

All in all, I thought the project was a success. Steve got to take the kids to their eye exams (which is an all day event) and really came back appreciating me in more than one way (I think)...It was a lot to accomplish in 1 day, but just shows what can be done. Plus these apartments (like many here in seattle) had NO a/c. It was 95 outside. I was dying!
