Continuing The Remarkable Journal

Join us. You have entered the middle of a cocktail party discussion begun yesterday. It’s a counseling session of sorts and I am in the seat. Help me out here.

Remarkable can happen with renovations, also. It’s a bit harder because you have more fixed puzzle pieces but it can still happen.

It just takes vision. To go from this:

To this:

Take for instance this rather awkward “hot” feeling room. It is often hard to get people to paint things- like perfectly good brick. But if that perfectly good anything isn’t a wow factor taking the room to a boyoyoyng on the remarkable factor it is not worth keeping.

 

Then there are the too small rooms or the rooms with ceilings that are too low. The instinct is to go small. Resist. Do the opposite.

This is the before. Notice the oh so small light for starters and the teeny bedside lamps.

You will surprised what will happen.

With bathrooms often the simplest of things speak the loudest. Like adding a granite ledge.

Just changing the size and direction of an inexpensive tile will make it look more custom.

Tomorrow we will do a walk through on a job in progress and continue the conversation.

Until then….
