The Hotel-No-Tell
Problem:
When I reclaimed the house I grew up in, the interior was very 80’s with all white walls and trim, and track lighting everywhere. There was exposed lathe in the stairwell, and exposed beams in the downstairs bedroom (hello bats)!
The wall between the kitchen and the parlor made both rooms very dark.
Solution:
We added some major punch and color by painting murals on every ceiling, archways and many of the walls. We replaced the overhead track lighting with stained glass light fixtures and vintage chandeliers. We sheet rocked the stairwell, which added space for another mural, and knocked out the kitchen wall and built a bar, which is now the focal point of our home. We also reclaimed a scary back porch and gained an added cocktail space. Our most recent project was installing a corner shower and mosaicing the bathroom walls.
