Room Makeover

So just two days ago we decided to give Daniel's apartment a makeover....At first it was just going to be a new paint job to cover the ugly wood paneling.....but we soon learned that overhauling a room was too much fun, and it ended up being a lot more than just paint...Enjoy our before and after pictures!!!

Ahh.....after a fresh coat of paint....already looking a million percent better!

Daniel, refurbishing some old furniture....what a pro

a makeshift saw

The old tiled floors were covered with two 5x8 area rugs we found for $19.99 each at the grocery store up the street!

More close up shots...

The old tweed plaid couch doesn't even look half bad in the new room! (well, it still looks bad, but it will do). The coffee table use to have a few structural problems-so we decided to cut the legs down a few inches, making a nice little seating area coffee table.

The nice new panels were a great deal at pottery barn, and they work nicely against our new wall color and really lighten up the room!

Daniel's new work space!!!!

This old desk Daniel was using used to be a piece of junk...with a little paint, and new hardware it's just like new!

Here's Baba, admiring in awe with the new space...of course she loved it and was incredibly impressed

We added a lot of new frames on sale at Pottery Barn, and finished them off with some of Daniel's famous close-up shots.

This old console table used to be an old varnished mess....Daniel sprayed it with Espresso furniture paint, and we replaced the knobs for under $1 dollar each.

We replaced the old wood front doors with fresh white paint, and the old rusty gold doorknobs with new brushed nickle ones.

And here's the hallway...notice the nice new white trim, new white switch plates, and the grommet panel for added privacy, or entrance to Daniel's apartment.

Next project-the bathroom!!!!!!
