BEFORE
AFTER
This room is eternally “in process” but a lot of white paint brightened it up immeasurably, and the wall of bookcases I built a few years ago is one of my favorite DIYs ever (one of my first major carpentry projects!)
The coffee table was refreshed with a limed finish – an easy DIY!
We couldn’t GIVE our old TV armoire away, so I made it into a bar cabinet for our living room – one of the most functional furniture makeovers I’ve done!
